No. of produced cars: Information not available at the moment.
A redesigned Sorento (codename XMA) was launched in South Korea in 2009 as a 2010 model. The second generation was Kia’s first model to be manufactured in the United States, in Kia’s new US$1 billion West Point, Georgia, factory (which also builds the sister vehicle to the Sorento, the Hyundai Santa Fe). The second generation used Kia’s corporate Tiger Nose grille, and was the first Kia vehicle to offer Kia UVO. No longer based on a truck frame, the 2010 Sorento was of unibody construction. The vice president of marketing for Kia Motors America said that Kia initially considered changing the name due to the radical change in the Sorento’s body style.
