2011 Kia Sorento forsakes its predecessor’s body-on-frame SUV formula and heads for the land of the crossovers. With unibody construction, good manners, and a high level of standard and available technology, this Kia gives the class leaders a run for their money.Forget everything you knew about the Kia Sorento—if you knew anything at all. The former body-on-frame SUV has been reinvented in its second generation as a far more relevant, if slightly less macho, crossover. And not a moment too soon.“Everything is new except for the Sorento name,” says Sorento product strategy manager Steve Hirashiki. He’s right. Even its birthplace is new. Built at Kia’s brand-spankin’-fresh factory in West Point, Georgia, about 85 miles southwest of Atlanta, the Sorento is the American car industry’s newest naturalized citizen.
