Production of the crossover is scheduled to commence later in 2009. KMMG is Kia's first plant in the US, and the new, unibody Sorento will be its first vehicle built in the country. In the US, it will be available in front wheel drive and all wheel drive configurations, and will be powered by either a 2.4L Theta II inline-4 or a 3.5L Lambda II V6.
