Before you send nasty emails, yes, the above image has been doctored with the magic of Photoshop. (Pretty good, eh?) We might have had real pics of the newest 2011 Sorento trim level if we’d been at the Atlanta auto show today, but, erm, we must have forgotten to mark the date on our calendars. Kia promises we’ll have official pics once the automobile makes it to the New York auto show, which is just two weeks away.

Anyway, here’s what we do know about the 2011 Kia Sorento SX. The trim adds extra equipment, visual dress-up (can’t wait to see it!), and a sharper suspension compared to the LX and EX models. It’s equipped exclusively with the Sorento’s 3.5-liter V-6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission.

The SX dons new front and rear fascias, LED taillights, a chrome exhaust tip, and special silver-painted 18-inch wheels. On top are chrome roof rails; underneath, stainless-steel skid plates. Interior changes include stainless-steel pedal covers, a metallic gauge cluster surround, and extra accent lighting.

Additional standard equipment includes heated leather front seats, an auto-dimming mirror, a 10-speaker Infinity Audio surround-sound system, and a voice-activated navigation system with a back-up camera. Most of these add-ons are optional on the LX and EX trims, but standard with the SX level.

The Sorento SX rides half an inch lower than other models and employs “Dual Flow Damper” shock absorbers. Kia states this gives the Sorento a sportier stance and better handling, all without compromising ride quality.

We hope to have official pricing information and pics during the New York show. Until then, check out our second drive of the 2011 Kia Sorento.
