This Sorento and its Hyundai Santa Fe cousin share a platform, but not a floorplan — the Kia came standard with a third row while the Santa Fe was offered only as a two-row SUV.
Kia built a one-off Wolverine-themed Sorento with 20th Century Fox to promote an X-Men home-video release, debuting it at the 2015 Australian Open alongside Rafael Nadal.
The redesigned Sorento earned a 'Top Safety Pick' from the IIHS in just its second year on sale — a strong result for Kia's first unibody crossover built in America.
Kia didn't skimp on safety for its budget-minded first SUV: every US-spec first-generation Sorento came standard with dual front airbags and side-curtain airbags front and rear.
