Sorento Fuel Economy
Fuel efficiency is a big part in creating every new Kia.  Better SUV gas mileage and increased efficiency are the keys.  As gases prices in Louisville soar and emissions threaten our climate, Kia has created a new Sorento with better fuel economy than the previous model.  Better fuel economy equals more Sorento miles per gallon which means you save cash at the fuel pump.  The 2007 Sorento gets an EPA estimated 17 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on highway (22 mpg on the 4x4 model), not bad for an SUV that cranks out more horsepower than Toyota Highlander or Jeep Grand Cherokee.  Kia’s goal with the Sorento was to engineer the best gas mileage possible and still deliver the things you want in an SUV at a price you can afford.

Kia Sorento Standard Safety Features
Kia has equipped the Sorento with all the class-leading safety features you’re looking for in an SUV.  Sorento safety means feeling safe and secure comes standard with every new 2007 Sorento.  The Sorento earned the federal government’s highest rating in all four categories – Government Crash Test Ratings.  That’s five-stars across the board from the National Highway Safety Administration (NHSTA), meaning Sorento is one of the safest SUVs on the road.  Best safety rating for Sorento - That’s the unmatched safety at an affordable price that you’ve come to expect from Kia.

More about Sorento’s standard safety features
All 2007 Sorentos come with five airbags, placed at key positions throughout the vehicle.  These include full-length side curtains, dual front advance, and a driver’s knee airbag.  That’s the feeling of security and peace of mind that comes standard with every new Sorento.

Airbags are just part of the safety features Kia has included on the Sorento.  Other Sorento safety features include advanced supplement restraint system (SRS), smarter headrests, and a Tire-Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

One thing those dummies in the government crash tests don’t do, is avoid the crash.  But thanks to Kia’s advanced safety features, you can better avoid accidents in the first place.  Improved stability comes thanks to Sorento’s Electronic Stability Control (ESC) which increases directional stability for better control by monitoring key vehicle functions such as brake-force pressure, speed, and direction.  ESC can help bring the vehicle back under control by reducing engine power and braking individual wheels accordingly.  As with all cars traction is also a key safety issue for the 4x4 and SUV.  Sorento offers TCS or Traction Control System, which detects tire spinning using speed sensors on each wheel.  Your Louisville Kia dealer will be happy to explain these and all of the safety features that helped Sorento earn the best crash test rating possible from the NCAP.

All of these safety features work together to make the Kia Sorento 4x4 and Sorento 4x2 some of the safest SUVs on the road.  Government crash tests agree as Sorento received the highest safety rating in all vehicle crash test categories.

Kia extended warranties have new meaning with Kia’s Total Protection Package.  Other car warranties just don’t compare.  No auto warranty extends so far or covers so much.  Your new Sorento comes backed by the best new car warranty available.  Vehicle warranties include a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, 5-year/60,000-mile limited basic warranty, 5-year /100,000-mile limited anti-perforation warranty, and 5-year/60,000-mile 24-hour roadside assistance.  Kia 100,000 mile warranty
