Power
and Control
Sorento excels with a robust 3.5 litre, V6 engine that develops 145 kW
of power at 5500 rpm and 295 Nm of torque at 3000 rpm, which means it has
great acceleration as well as stump-pulling power. The remarkable engine
performance is enhanced by the aerodynamic efficiency of the body design.
While Sorento glides effortlessly along the bitumen, coping with the
roughest terrain is also just a walk in the park for its sophisticated
five-link rear suspension and the equally noteworthy double wishbone
suspension up front. Stopping power is very impressive with ABS ventilated
front and rear disk brakes with twin callipers up front, recognised as one
of the best systems on today's market.
Sorento's wide track design provides off-road stability while the
limited slip differential enhances stability and control by shifting power
to the wheel with better traction. The rugged build incorporates high
ground clearance, strong wheel arch extensions, large alloy wheels,
dual-purpose tyres and integrates a sturdy ladder chassis. This surrounds
and protects the drive train that possesses the latest 4WD technology - a
fully selectable, part time, on the fly, 4WD system with both high range
and low range gearbox. To engage the 2-wheel drive, or the high or low
range 4WD, simply turn the knob on the dash. It's that easy.
