Not much says “road trip” like a new SUV. Particularly an SUV that comes with one of the industry’s leading warranties. The brand-new 2020 Kia Sorento and 2020 Sportage fill the wants and needs of customers searching for an SUV or crossover. With features like expanded passenger and cargo room, both were created with the journey in mind.
The Kia Sorento comes standard-equipped with projector beam headlights and LED position lights and optional LED rear combination lights. Likewise, the 2020 Kia Sportage comes standard with projector beam headlights and LED daytime running lights with DRL and available LED headlight and LED taillight upgrade. The Sorento offers 17″ alloy wheels with upgrades available in 19″. Similarly, the Sportage offers 17″ alloy wheels, machine finish with 18″ and 19″ available upgrades. Both offer an available Panoramic sunroof for beaming a little extra sunlight into the driving experience. Though the Sportage is a crossover SUV that is not as big, the Sorento offers 7-passenger seating to carry larger families.
The new Sorento LX comes standard-equipped with a 178lb/ft torque, 185 hp 2.4L 4-cylinder matched with an Electronically Controlled 6-Speed Automatic Transmission with Sportmatic. While a 290hp, 252lb/ft of torque 3.3L DOHC 24-valve V6 matched with an Electronically Controlled 8-Speed Automatic Transmission with Sportmatic is available on the Sorento L/EX/SX models. The Sportage conversely comes standard-equipped with a 175lb/ft of torque, 181hp 2.4L 4-cylinder and the option to upgrade to a 240hp, 260lb/ft torque 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder for a little extra “juice”. Both engine platforms are fixed with a standard Electronically Controlled 6-Speed Automatic Transmission with Sportmatic.
When it comes to tech packages neither the 2020 Sportage or Sorento let you down. The Sorento includes a standard 7″ touchscreen infotainment center with rear camera, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. The 2020 Sportage offers an 8″ touchscreen with all of the same appointments and the ability to add on a voice-command navigation package. Both Kias offer an available Harman/Kardon surround sound upgrade for those who need to really feel their car stereo. If you’re in the market for your next SUV, Kia has some amazing available options.
