"It will be a historic milestone when the first Sorento rolls off the assembly line at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in West Point, Georgia later this year," said Michael Sprague, vice president, marketing, KMA. "Our first domestically built vehicle, the all-new Sorento will be built by team members who have undergone rigorous training and who have great pride in their newly learned skills."
The 2011 Sorento will be offered with a choice of two engine options, namely a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine releasing 172 horsepower and a 3.5-liter V6 engine that develops 273 horsepower, both mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Additionally, both versions can be equipped with either front- or all-wheel-drive configurations.
Other feature highlights include Standard AM/FM/CD/MP3/Sat audio system with SIRIUS Satellite Radio capabilities with three months of complimentary service, auxiliary and USB audio input jacks for connecting personal MP3 players, and Bluetooth connectivity with steering wheel-mounted voice activation controls to enable hands-free operation for all compatible cell phones.
“With a spacious, comfortable interior and multiple convenience features, the 2011 Sorento is the perfect, versatile choice for couples or young families taking a weekend getaway or merely handling everyday responsibilities,” said Tom Loveless, vice president of sales for KMA, in a statement for the press.
