For most new car shoppers, three-row crossovers are little more than a way for the family-minded to avoid succumbing to the minivan stigma. Admit it - the only things that differentiate most larger CUVs from minivans are their lack of sliding side doors and - on most of them - the option of all-wheel drive. Having blossomed into a popular segment with thicker profit margins, though, automakers have plenty of incentive to keep their offerings fresh, and that's exactly why <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/kia/">Kia</a> is presenting its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/kia/sorento/">2014 Sorento</a> so soon.<br />

At first glance, the crisply styled utility vehicle seen here appears to be nothing more than a mid-cycle refresh - and not a particularly extensive one, at that. But that's not the case at all. Despite looking very similar to the second-generation vehicle that came on the scene for the 2010 model year, this is an all-new Sorento. Or, more precisely, it's about 80-percent new. Kia says less than 20 percent of the parts have been carried over from the 2013 Sorento, and that's a pretty typical amount for an 'all-new' vehicle generation.<br />

Since we've yet to spend quality time with the "Made in the USA" Sorento for more than a short First Drive in Arizona last February, we snagged the keys to a 2014 model in the all-new SX Limited trim level for a lengthy backroad sojourn from Florida to South Carolina.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/02/12/2014-kia-sorento-review/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>2014 Kia Sorento</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/02/12/2014-kia-sorento-review/">2014 Kia Sorento</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 12 Feb 2014 11:57:00 EST.
