The 2005 Kia Sorento, a mid-size SUV, marked a significant step forward for the Korean automaker. It was the second generation of the Sorento, and it aimed to build upon the success of its predecessor while offering improved features, styling, and performance. The 2005 Sorento offered a choice between two engines: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine generating 161 horsepower and a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 200 horsepower. Both engines were mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. The Sorento was available in a variety of trim levels, ranging from the basic LX to the more luxurious EX. Standard features included power windows, locks, and mirrors, air conditioning, and a CD player. Higher trim levels added features such as leather upholstery, heated seats, a sunroof, and a premium sound system.

The 2005 Sorento boasted a spacious and comfortable interior, with ample room for five passengers and plenty of cargo space. It also offered a comfortable ride and a relatively quiet cabin. Despite being a mid-size SUV, the Sorento handled surprisingly well, thanks to its well-tuned suspension and responsive steering. However, while the Sorento was a competent off-roader, it wasn't designed for hardcore off-road use. The 2005 Sorento came with a variety of safety features, including anti-lock brakes, traction control, and side airbags. The Sorento also received good safety ratings from the IIHS and NHTSA. Though it wasn't the most exciting or luxurious SUV on the market, the 2005 Kia Sorento offered a well-rounded package of features, practicality, and affordability. It provided a strong value proposition and cemented its place as a competitive option in the mid-size SUV segment.
