Pricing for the 2011 Kia Sorento<\/a> has popped up unannounced on the automaker’s consumer website, and as it turns out, you can drive a base model off the lot with money to spare for a Subway footlong – minus taxes and all that. At $19,995 for the starter model (*plus $795 in destination charges), you’ll get a five-seat unibody crossover with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a manual transmission standard. That engine puts out 175 horsepower and 169 pound-feet of torque and is also standard fitment for the uplevel LX and EX models, but the latter two get automatic transmissions.<\/p>\n

The top tier model is the EX V6, with a 3.5-liter V6 proffering 276 hp and 248 ft-lb. All of the variants except the base also come in either front-drive or all-wheel drive variants, and there is also a seven-seat version. By the time you get to the grips-at-all-fours EX V6, you’re looking at $28,895. <\/p>\n

The Sorento is meant to “significantly increase [Kia’s] share of the utility vehicle market,” and with pricing like that, a good ride and healthy tech specs, it’s got a good shot.<\/p>\n
