This is a fun midsize crossover to drive. It has the pickup necessary to pass and is equally at home off pavement. We take ours off the road frequently and although it does not have 4X4 it is light enough to go most places. Have towed our jet skis with it and no loss of power. Would Recommend, Overall I am very happy with the Kia Sorrento. It has a lot of power and rides very smoothly over bumps! The view is great fwd and aft when driving and so far gets good gas mileage 425 miles on a full tank equals 24 MPH highway/local streets!
