Kia Is Aiming For The Best SUVs With Its New Sorento

But how does the Montero compare to new off-roaders on the market? Well, as the social media feud between Jeep and Ford heats up , I can't help but chuckle. Sure, my Montero doesn't have electronically disconnecting sway bars, multiple suspension settings, or an eight-speed automatic transmission. But it can do 90% of the things a Wrangler Rubicon can at about 10% of the pr


And yet, that tide may be in the process of turning. Jalopnik recently wrote about the Montero’s own rally history , reminding readers that there’s a good case to be made that the Montero is actually the most successful rally vehicle of all time, having dominated the Dakar endurance event with 15 all time wins out of 32 ra


The Ford F-150 continues to be the most popular among entry-level trucks . The F-Series has been in production since 1948 and has turned out to be a household name now. A fine balance between being a recreational ride and a commendable workhorse is what helps define the F-150's versatil


This bump might not sound as glorious as hybridization in passenger cars, but it should be noted that the hybrid F-150 continues to provide commendable load-carrying capabilities, despite the added weight from the battery pack. Talking of wight, it adds 200 pounds as compared to the non-hybrid mod


Where the Tiguan excels at most, however, may be the interior volume for the second row and trunk space. Six-footers will have nothing to complain about in this space and the panoramic sunroof allows for even more headroom for the middle seat occupant. The second row can slide forwards and backwards, recline for a more relaxing position, and fold flat to ensure large shopping trips and moving days can be accommodated. In addition to all of this, the Tiguan remains the only vehicle in this segment to offer a third row of seating creating a seven-seater compact crossover. Although that third row could only be used by children, the ability to have as small of a vehicle as possible with the highest seating capacity could be a worthwhile feature for some famil


The Hybrid models get a 1.6-liter with 44 kW electric motor or 1.6-liter Turbo Plug-in Hybrid with a 66.9kW electric motor . The 44kW is front-wheel-drive and makes 227 horsepower, has an estimated 39 mpg in city fuel consumption, and is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The other 1.6-liter model that features a 66.9 kW electric motor is all-wheel-drive, makes 261 horsepower, and has a 30-mile electric range, paired with the same 6-speed automatic transmiss


Kia has seen great sales on their Kia Telluride: a large, bold, capable, and comfortable SUV loved by many daily drivers. The cheaper and smaller alternative to that is the Kia Sorento, and the new 2021 model packs feature that set it aside in the mid-size SUV market. The Sorento was designed to take on the best smaller SUVs like the Ford Edge, Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota Highlander, and the Chevy Bla


The 2021 Tiguan starts off as a front-wheel-drive-based crossover but the 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system can be added to the base model for the cost of the $2200CAD. The remaining trim levels, the Trendline, UNITED, and Highline are AWD as standard. New features for the 2021 Tiguan include USB-C outlets, wireless Apple CarPlay and a rear camera washer nozzle to clean off the grim. This feature is activated at the same time the rear washer is engaged. It’s a small but endlessly useful feature for those living in long winter clima


Ford has gone for a very distinctive interior layout for the 2021 Bronco. Generally, cars from Ford are focused on any two of the following - comfort, luxury, technology, and sportiness. But when it comes to the Bronco, there is a bit of everything and more. The layout is clean and plush yet rugged and durable. You don't get lavish leather upholstery here, but silicon-based rubber trimming and upholstery that keeps you comfortable and also gives you the confidence to dive deep into the


Some other noteworthy pieces of equipment available in the Tiguan include the customizable Digital Cockpit instrument cluster screen, the full-size panoramic sunroof, the motion-sensitive 8.5’’ touchscreen and the R-Line appearance pack. The R-Line Appearance package is exclusive to the Highline trims and gives the Tiguan a slightly more aggressive style and stance. The R-Line features exclusive 19’’ rims, flat-bottom leather-wrapped steering wheels, lots of R-Line badging, and additional black pieces around the bumper. The as-tested price for this model is a reasonable $44,632CAD M


For 2021, Ford has evidently updated the F-150 with a lot more capability-enhancing features that include an all-new hybrid powertrain with an impressive driving range and the Tremor Suvinsightzone.Com pack that has trickled down from the likes of F-250 and F-350. The 2021 Ford F-150 continues to lock horns with the likes of RAm 1500, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and the GMC Sierra 1
