2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The V6 is strong. The 6 speed automatic shifts smoothly and seemlessly. see full Kia Sorento review
2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Quick acceleration (3.5L V-6), relaxed high-speed highway cruising; 6-speed, manually-shiftable automatic is unobtrusive and always in the right gear; automatic AWD can be locked in 4WD for maximum grip. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Great traction in snow see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Excellent Next-Generation 4-cylinder that offers performance equal to many 6-cylinders but with the smoothness and refinement that is really unbelievable. The manual 6-spd trans is also amazing and fun. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	V6 very powerful. Passing at highway speeds downright fun. Engine is smooth and very quiet.

2011 Kia Sorento Powertrain: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Under powered. Buy the V6. Mileage is about the same see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The 4 cylinder is okay but I'm used to manual transmission sports cars so it feels a bit slow, especially up hills. I think the sound of the engine makes it seem slower than it actually is. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Occasional jerkiness in shifting, but with 100K warranty on drive train, I'm not concerned. see full Kia Sorento review
