6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I really like the filtered cabin air. I have not seen this on any other vehicle and I think it is very valuable for our health. There is a lot of toxic dust that lays on the roads and we inhale a lot of it without that filter. The warranty is great. see full Kia Sorento review
