When I told my husband about the email to host a Kia Sorento makeover giveaway the first thing he did was say, “That car looks awesome.” And if you knew my husband you’d know that means a lot. He’s rather particular when it comes to cars and the more time I’ve spent looking at the Sorento I can understand why my husband has the hots for this car. It is awesome.

All-New Sorento

The Kia Sorento got a makeover for 2011. It’s truly “A departure from the expected.” Here are some key features about the all-new Sorento:

• Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) priced starting at under 21k
• State-of-the-art technology and sporty styling
• Class-leading interior space
• Comfortably fit up to seven passengers, offering more space and ride comfort than the previous-generation model
• Proudly built in the USA at Kia Motors Manufacturing in West Point, Georgia

My first glance at the new Sorento was during the Super Bowl. Remember this ad?

Want to see more Kia Sorento? Check out the car specifications and build your own at www.kia.com. The base price for the Sorento is $19,995. My husband and I played around and built our dream car to include some luxury features you might not initially associate with an affordable car (like a Kia) such as the rear-view back up camera, infinity premium sound system, in dash navigation with real time traffic and rear-seat DVD entertainment. I’m pretty sure our road trips (and day to day trips, for that matter) would be much improved!
