2011 crossover a bigger, better, more fuel-efficient version of its former self

Call it the United Nations of crossovers.
The Sorento from South Korea is assembled at a plant in West Point, Ga., the first Kia produced in the U.S.
And depending on with whom the crossover might travel, the navigation system offers English, French and Spanish settings.
Sorento is built off a new car-based platform that soon will be shared by the next generation Hyundai Santa Fe. It's so new it skips 2010 and goes directly to a 2011 model year designation when it goes on sale in January.
Sorento not only has been redesigned, it also has grown, with length expanding 3.2 inches. So Sorento, for the first time, now sports a third-row seat to handle a couple munchkins. It's also 1 inch wider, perhaps necessitated by Mom, Dad and the kids munching a bit more than usual.
