Starting at $22,395, the 2011 Kia Sorento is on the more expensive side when it comes to its class, but consumers say you get a lot for your money. The 2011 Sorento practically matches or beats its competition comes with Kia's unbeatable 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. The Sorento meets EPA fuel standards, similar to others in its class which is impressive since it can transport more passengers than others.

The 2011 Sorento comes in two trims: LX and EX. Under the hood of the basic model we found it to be fitted with a 2.4-liter, 172-hoursepower four-cylinder engine. The Sorento is in a stiff competition withthe Toyota RAV4 that starts $700 less, and has similar fuel efficiency. The decision maker is definitely Sorento's superior warranties and standard features that the RAV lacks.
