Kia Sorento

Automobiles

The Kia Sorento is a series of two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive family sport utility vehicles made by the South Korean maker Kia since 2002 across four generations. It began as a compact SUV on a body-on-frame chassis, and the second generation moved to a larger car-based platform that placed it in the mid-size crossover class, developed alongside the Hyundai Santa Fe. The name is presumed to come from the Italian city of Sorrento, although Kia did not confirm this, and a teaser for its launch in India showed the Piazza Tasso in Sorrento.
