2006 kia sorento review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. The kia sorento is a mid-size suv that packs a big v6 engine. On the road or off, it is nimble and comfortable. The sorento is available in lx and ex trims. It is powered by a 192 hp 3. 5-liter v-6 that is mated to a five-speed sportmatic automatic transmission or a five-speed manual. There are also optional anti-lock brakes. The kia sorento is a carryover from 2005. Anti-lock Brakes
