<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/kia/">Kia</a> officially debuted the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/23/kia-unveils-new-sorento-sx-trim-level-in-magic-eight-ball/">SX trim level</a> for the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/sorento">2011 Sorento</a> at this year's Atlanta Auto Show, but they also brought the dolled-up crossover to <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/new-york-auto-show/">New York</a> for a larger-scale unveiling. The Sorento is already off to a good start in the U.S. - it has already become Kia's top-selling vehicle for the first few months of 2010 - and the SX, which goes on sale this Summer, offers up a bit more standard equipment and style to the lineup. The revised front fascia is a bit buffer than lesser trims and the ride height has been lowered by about one inch, giving it a more aggressive stance.<br />
<br />
Under the hood is Kia's 3.5-liter V6, which produces 276 horsepower. Upgrades over the lesser LX and EX models include things like sharp 18-inch wheels and Dual Flow Damper shock absorbers. Inside, leather seats are standard, as is a back-up camera, Infinity audio system and voice-activated navigation. Look for Kia's all-new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/05/kia-uvo-details-released-virtually-same-as-sync/">UVO infotainment system</a> to debut in the Sorento later this year. Check out our galleries below to see the SX in high-res glory.<br />
