Reviews SummaryKia redesigned the popular Sorento last model year and for 2022 the midsize, three-row crossover SUV gets a few changes. For starters, the appealing X-Line package is now available with S and EX trim in addition to the SX Prestige. All 2022 Kia Sorento models except for the base LX trim now have a standard 10.25-inch infotainment system with navigation and UVO connected services. Additionally, the top-of-the-line SX Prestige adds a more comfortable driver’s seat and heated second-row captain’s chairs as standard equipment. The big news, however, pertains to a new all-wheel-drive option for the efficient Sorento Hybrid and the debut of the Sorento Plug-in Hybrid, which can travel 32 miles on electricity before switching to gas-electric hybrid propulsion and returning 34 mpg in combined driving. | |
Reviews SummaryThe 2022 Mazda CX-9 is a midsize three-row crossover SUV with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, and standard all-wheel drive (AWD). Offered in six trim levels for the 2022 model year, the CX-9 starts at $35,630 and rises past $47,560. | |
