Why should I also consider these?
The Sorento, which soldiers on for 2009, is part of a seemingly dying class of trucklike mid-size sport-utility vehicles.
The Ford Explorer used to be the best seller in the class, but its popularity is fading and it’s slated to soon be replaced with a more carlike vehicle.
The Mercury Mountaineer is nearly identical to the Explorer; both offer three rows of seating and optional V-8 engines.
The GMC Envoy and its Chevrolet TrailBlazer twin are both very outdated and will soon be discontinued.
The Dodge Durango and Chrysler Aspen are similar vehicles that offer V-8 engines and four-wheel drive.
However there’s a wild card: Kia’s own Borrego, which is even burlier and more trucklike than the Sorento, yet brings better standards of refinement.
However, the Borrego’s (lower) fuel economy and (larger) size are likely a step in the opposite direction for those who might consider the Sorento.
