Kia Sorento truly has the power to surprise (pictures)

Kia offers the new Sorento with direct-injection four- and six-cylinder engines, while the prior generation only had direct injection as an optional four-cylinder. The new 3.3-liter direct-injection V-6 in the Sorento will make 290 horsepower and 252 pound-feet of torque, which should be more than enough for the average family. Kia carries over the 2.4-liter direct-injection engine from the previous generation as the new base engine.
