The Kia Sorento (BL) is a mid-size SUV produced by the South Korean automaker Kia Motors from 2002 to 2009. The first generation Sorento, internally designated as the "BL", was introduced in 2002 and marked Kia's foray into the growing SUV segment. The Sorento was initially offered with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a 3.5-liter V6 engine, both mated to a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was available in various trim levels, offering features such as air conditioning, power windows, and a CD player. The Sorento was praised for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and value for money. However, it was criticized for its handling and some reliability issues. The 2004 Kia Sorento with the 3.5-liter DOHC engine offered a healthy power output, making it a capable vehicle for various driving situations. The DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft) design improved engine efficiency and performance by allowing for precise valve timing and control. This engine offered a blend of power and fuel economy, suitable for both city driving and highway cruising. While the Sorento wasn't considered a sporty SUV, it provided a comfortable and reliable ride for passengers and cargo. The 2004 model year saw some improvements over earlier models, addressing some of the reliability concerns and enhancing features. Despite its age, the Sorento (BL) remains a practical and capable SUV, especially for those seeking a reliable and affordable option. The 3.5-liter DOHC engine was a popular choice for its combination of power and fuel efficiency, contributing to the Sorento's overall appeal.
