The 2015 Kia Sorento remains a formidable competitor in the crossover utility vehicle segment, offering equal measures of value and sophistication.

Available in four trims -- LX, EX, SX and SX Limited -- the 2015 Sorento is offered with an all-aluminum 3.3-liter GDI V6, which produces a smooth 290 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and a stout 252 lb.-ft. of torque at 5,200 rpm, and a fuel-sipping 2.4-liter GDI four-cylinder engine -- enhanced for 2015 to provide greater fuel efficiency -- producing 191 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 181 lb.-ft. of torque at a low 4,250 rpm.

Power is routed to either the front wheels or, optionally, to all four using an enhanced Torque On Demand all-wheel drive system that seamlessly directs power to the tire with the most traction and now includes Torque Vectoring Cornering Control for added stability under certain driving conditions.

The 2015 Sorento comes standard with a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission. Also standard is Electric Motor Driven Power Steering for improved efficiency. The steering also features an available Flex Steer system that offers drivers a choice of three steering modes: Comfort, Normal and Sport.

The 2015 Sorento sports dynamic and sophisticated design elements, inside and out. Aggressively styled front and rear fascias enhance the Sorento's road presence with a lower, broader appearance up front and a visually wider stance at the rear.

For 2015, the signature Kia grille is enhanced with an anodized silver metal or black mesh appearance, and the lower valance has been opened to expose an aggressive cross-hatched intake. Front LED positioning lamps create dramatic eyebrows while projector-style headlights peer from behind tapered clear lenses. The Sorento rides on handsomely designed 17-, 18- and available 19-inch wheels.
