CarGurus Overview

The popular 2005 Kia Sorento LX is the rear-wheel drive base model, with seating for up to five passengers in two rows of seats.  Though the low 15/20 mpg doesn't make this SUV particularly economical, it does offer a lot of features and cargo versatility for a lower price point than competitors.  A 192-hp, 3.5-liter DOHC V6 engine is matched to either a 5-speed manual or a new 5-speed Sportmatic auto tran.  Sitting on 16-inch wheels, the cargo area features standard tie-downs and a cover and can hold up to 66 cubic feet when the 60/40 split-fold rear seats are down.

High safety ratings come with the dual front airbags and side impact bags for both rows.  Other standard features include power windows, locks, and mirrors, intermittent front and rear wipers, a tachometer, a roof rack, cruise control, heated mirrors, and a CD player.  Cupholders and storage compartments are placed front and back.  ABS brakes, running boards, and a trailer hitch can be added, and a Sport Package features fog lights, remote entry, and step rails.  Highlights include the roomy interior, comfortable ride, and overall power.  By far the worst feature is the gas mileage.  

This overview covers the LX trim only.
