Crossover in Racine

Kia has been a rising star in the American vehicle community for some time. Starting with small, value-driven cars, the next phase of value, features and performance has arrived. When shopping for a crossover in Racine, take a look at the 2013 Kia Sorento offered by Palmen Kia.

Safety is always one of the chief concerns when looking to buy a new vehicle. The Kia Sorento answers the call with a strong performance in government tests including four out of five stars in overall crash-protection, four more stars for frontal-crash protection and five out of five stars for side crash-protection. Should the unthinkable happen and you do get into a car accident, the Kia Sorento will provide more than adequate protection.

With five different trim models available, there is a Kia Sorento for just about everyone looking to buy a crossover in Racine. Starting with the modestly priced LX trim, that version of the Sorento boasts a 2.4-Liter, in-line four cylinder engine offering 175-horsepower and an electronically controlled six-speed automatic transmission. In the EX V-6 and SX V-6 trims a 3.5-liter V-6 engine produces 276-horsepower and uses the same electronically controlled six-speed automatic transmission.

All of this power and performance does not come at the cost of fuel economy. Each of the five trims has an Environmental Protection Agency fuel rating of 21 miles per gallon in the city and 30 miles per gallon on the highway. All five trims have an 18-gallon fuel tank to support those longer trips.

The 2013 Kia Sorento was named NADAguides.com featured vehicle of the month for June. The award is given based on the vehicle’s competitiveness in performance, efficiency, available options and overall appeal. Additionally the Sorento’s MSRP, engine, available horsepower, warranty and first year depreciation helped put it in the top of its category.
