2006 Kia Sorento EX Trim Overview

The more luxurious version of Kia's mid-size SUV is the 2006 Kia Sorento EX.  The rear-wheel drive SUV is passenger-friendly as it only comes with two rows of seats, which fold down for up to 66 cubic feet of cargo space.  A roof rack is also standard for extra storage options.  Equipped with an independent front suspension and front and rear stabilizer bars, the 2006 Sorento EX is solid and sturdy, and its 192-hp, 3.5-liter DOHC V6 can tow up to 3500 pounds.  A 5-speed automatic is the only transmission available.

The 2006 Sorento EX adds onto the base model with a power driver's seat, external temperature display, wheel-mounted cruise and audio controls, wood and leather trim, a power liftgate, and a sunroof.  Additional safety features to the dual front and all-row side impact airbags are an auto-dimming rearview mirror and fog lights.  ABS brakes are optional.  Running boards can be added for easier access.  Other options include heated leather seats, a CD changer, automatic climate control, a rear spoiler, and remote start.  Gas mileage is the biggest complaint of 2006 Sorento EX owners, but they say the power and performance is top-notch and they say it's a great value for all that you get.
