The Sorento is already off to a good start in the U.S. &#8211; it has already become Kia&#8217;s top-selling vehicle for the first few months of 2010 &#8211; and the SX, which goes on sale this Summer, offers up a bit more standard equipment and style to the lineup. The revised front fascia is a bit buffer than lesser trims and the ride height has been lowered by about one inch, giving it a more aggressive stance.<\/p>\n<p>Under the hood is Kia&#8217;s 3.5-liter V6, which produces 276 horsepower. Upgrades over the lesser LX and EX models include things like sharp 18-inch wheels and Dual Flow Damper shock absorbers. Inside, leather seats are standard, as is a back-up camera, Infinity audio system and voice-activated navigation. Look for Kia&#8217;s all-new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/05\/kia-uvo-details-released-virtually-same-as-sync\/\">UVO infotainment system<\/a> to debut in the Sorento later this year.
