The 2020 Kia Sorento comes with front wheel drive, and all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 8-speed shiftable automatic, 6-speed shiftable automatic.Lightly refreshed bumpers and exterior lighting.EX Sport and SX Limited trims dropped.
PROS Convenient size should fit many families Ample feature content for the money Stylish and quiet interior Extra-long warranty coverage
CONS Less cargo space than other three-row models Third-row seat is strictly for kids Lackluster acceleration even from the V6 engine
The 2020 Kia Sorento skimps on third-row seating, but in all other respects it’s a more than respectable crossover SUV.
Pros Upmarket feel inside and out Terrific ride quality Responsive, natural steering Strong value and warranty Solid, quiet feel
Cons Second row sits too low Don’t bother with the base engine Mediocre fuel economy
Changes are minimal on the 2020 Kia Sorento. There are modest styling updates front and rear, and Kia has consolidated the trim levels and packaging on V-6 models. The ritzy SX Limited and its lofty price are gone, but the one-step-down SX provides most of the important content. The standard navigation system on SX models now includes an integrated modem that allows you to control certain vehicle functions remotely and can notify you if you inadvertently leave a kid in the back seat.
Pros Simple interior layout, agreeable driving experience, seating for seven in a mid-size body.
Cons Difficult-to-access third row, numb steering, some safety features limited to upper trims.
The Hellcat-powered Durango is all-new for 2021. However, the hugely powerful SUV is only scheduled for a single year of production. While the company pulled a similar move with the highly hyped and limited-edition Challenger SRT Demon, we hope strong sales and enthusiast interest will prolong this devilish Durango's life.
PROS A three-row SUV with 700-plus horses, as quick as a 797-hp Hellcat Challenger, surprisingly deft handling for its size.
CONS Precipitous price tag, miserable fuel economy, omnipresent supercharger whine can get annoying.
PROS Stupefying acceleration and speed Excellent infotainment system Theatrical exhaust sounds
CONS Novelty can wear off in day-to-day use Frightening fuel consumption Still feels outdated
Pros Large touchscreen tech interface is one of the best in class Strong V8s provide exceptional towing ability Real off-road capabilities with 4WD and low-range gearing
Cons Fuel economy is below average, especially with the V8s Many of the latest advanced driver safety features don't come standard Bigger and bulkier to drive than rival crossover SUVs
