The Kia Sorento BL is a mid-size SUV produced by Kia Motors from 2003 to 2009. The Sorento BL was a significant step forward for Kia, offering a more refined and capable vehicle than its predecessors. The first generation Sorento (also known as the "BL" model code) was introduced in 2002 as a 2003 model year vehicle, and was the first genuine SUV offered by Kia. It built upon the success of the Kia Sportage, offering a larger and more versatile vehicle for families and adventurers. The Sorento BL was available with a choice of two engines: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a 3.5-liter V6 engine. The 3.5-liter V6 engine, available in the "G" trim, was particularly popular, offering a balance of power and fuel economy. The Sorento BL was also available with a choice of two transmissions: a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic.

The Sorento BL was well-equipped with standard features such as power steering, power windows, power locks, air conditioning, and a CD player. Higher trim levels offered additional features like leather seats, heated seats, a sunroof, and a navigation system. The Sorento BL was known for its spacious interior, offering comfortable seating for five passengers and ample cargo space. The Sorento BL also had a rugged exterior design with a high ride height, making it well-suited for off-road driving. The Sorento BL was a popular choice for families and individuals looking for a reliable and capable mid-size SUV. It was praised for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and value for money. However, the Sorento BL was not without its drawbacks. Some critics noted that the interior materials felt a bit cheap and that the handling could be a bit cumbersome. Nevertheless, the Sorento BL was a successful model for Kia, paving the way for the brand's future success in the SUV market.
