2012 Kia Sorento EX Review
The good: The reasonably priced 2012 Kia Sorento EX is available with a direct-injection engine getting excellent EPA-rated fuel economy. Hill descent comes standard and all-wheel drive is available.
The bad: The navigation option eliminates UVO advanced voice command. No connected features, such as Google Local search, are available, and driver assistance features are limited to a rearview camera.
The bottom line: The 2012 Kia Sorento EX emphasizes the utility in SUV, offering good carrying capacity and easy drivability. The cabin electronics are solid and useful, but lack any advanced features.
