Many Worcester shoppers choose the new 2022 Kia Forte because it's stylish and affordable. They soon learn that it's also fuel-efficient, nicely designed, and roomy. There are many reasons why the Kia Forte should top your shortlist of vehicles to consider at Wagner Kia of Shrewsbury.
The standard engine is a 2.5-liter version that will give you 191 horsepower to power you through Westborough, which is more than a decent amount. With this engine and its accompanying eight-speed automatic transmission, the Kia Sorento feels energetic and quick.
Keep in mind that this is just the starting point. If you'd like to upgrade, there's an available 2.5-liter turbocharged engine. This will deliver 281 horsepower. It's also matched with an eight-speed transmission. With these traditional powertrains, the Kia Sorento can be equipped with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive to get you around Boston.
Then, there is a hybrid as well as a plug-in hybrid version of the Kia Sorento. The hybrid uses an electric motor and a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine. Together, they make 227 horsepower. The plug-in hybrid uses that same engine, but thanks to a larger electric component, it can make 261 horsepower. The plug-in hybrid is exclusively available as an all-wheel-drive model, while the hybrid only comes with front-wheel drive.
The cabin of the Kia Sorento can accommodate up to seven total passengers on your journey around Worcester. The third row can fit two people, and the middle row can either have a bench seat or a set of captain's chairs. With the captain's chairs, there would be two seating positions and an open area in between them.
Some people prefer this because it opens up the cabin, but others need that extra seat. Rest assured that if you choose a model with the bench seat, it's quite simple to lower a rear seatback so that the passengers can easily get in and out of the third row.
Some high-end features are available with this SUV. You could treat yourself to a panoramic sunroof with a power sunshade, a smart power liftgate, and heated and ventilated front seats. The steering wheel and second-row seats could also have heating elements built into them, and the seats could all be wrapped in a sophisticated leather upholstery or an elegant synthetic material called SynTex.
An eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard on the Kia Sorento. The base trim comes with six USB chargers, and Bluetooth is also standard. If it seems like the infotainment package on the SUV is pretty solid, you'll be impressed with what all the other trims have. They have a 10.25-inch touchscreen with integrated navigation and SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and they provide you with eight USB chargers. Wireless charging, a Bose premium audio system, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster are all available as well.
As you drive around in your Kia Sorento, your SUV can be on the lookout for potential problems on your behalf. It can sense imminent frontal collisions and when you're drifting out of position. In this case, it would issue a warning and would be ready to hit the brakes or correct your steering if this would help prevent an accident. In addition, the Kia Sorento comes standard with automatic high beams and driver attention warning, and it can have blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. The available 360-degree monitor can be useful.
