Kia introduced a more handsome and powerful Sorento SUV at the 2006 Geneva Auto Show. The Sorento also gets improved interior materials, and a back seat configuration that’s easier to fold down. Power-wise, Europeans will get a choice of an updated 2.3 CRDi diesel engine that gets a boost from 140 horsepower to 170, or a 3.3-liter V6 gasoline engine that will make 235 horsepower. The 3.3-liter engine is the same powerplant that has received rave reviews in the Hyundai Sonata, built by Kia’s corporate parent. It’s likely that you’ll see that engine offered in the U.S., as it has more horsepower and better fuel economy than the existing 3.5-liter, 192-horsepower engine. Design changes include reshaped headlights and tail lights.
