Utilizing Microsoft&#8217;s next generation voice technology, two distinct profiles are stored in the system allowing users to access different elements of the UVO system through voice commands or through the 4.3-inch color touch screen. A back-up camera is also included in the setup, however, it appears that UVO won&#8217;t be available without the screen, unlike Ford&#8217;s system. <\/p>\n<p>Although pricing has yet to be announced, UVO is set to launch on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/sorento\">2011 Kia Sorento<\/a> this summer and is expected to filter throughout Kia&#8217;s line-up over the coming year. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/05\/kia-uvo-details-released-virtually-same-as-sync\/#continued\">Make the jump<\/a> for the official release.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/la-2009-2011-kia-sorento\/low\/\">LA 2009: 2011 Kia Sorento<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/la-2009-2011-kia-sorento\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/12\/01-2011-kia-sorento-live_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/la-2009-2011-kia-sorento\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/12\/02-2011-kia-sorento-live_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/la-2009-2011-kia-sorento\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/12\/03-2011-kia-sorento-live_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/la-2009-2011-kia-sorento\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/12\/04-2011-kia-sorento-live_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/la-2009-2011-kia-sorento\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/12\/05-2011-kia-sorento-live_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/05\/kia-uvo-details-released-virtually-same-as-sync\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Kia UVO details released, like SYNC circa 2008<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/05\/kia-uvo-details-released-virtually-same-as-sync\/\">Kia UVO details released, like SYNC circa 2008<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 05 Jan 2010 13:59:00 EST.
