With a shutdown lasting from the end of March to early May, 2020 was a difficult year for every car manufacturer. But sales had rebounded by the fall season, and by the end of the year, brands like Honda had managed to recuperate some of their losses.
The Japanese automaker reports that in the United States, it sold 136,467 vehicles in December alone, and as before the pandemic, trucks and SUVs reigned king. American Honda’s truck division sold 87,634 vehicles, up 3.6 percent, led by strong performances by the CR-V and Pilot.
The CR-V ended the year as the fifth bestselling vehicle in the entire United States with 333,502 units sold, topping the 300,000 mark for the eighth consecutive year. In December 2020, it was up 5.6 percent on a volume basis compared to 2019.
Kia s latest mid-size SUV is another winner.
It doesn t seem to matter if they are small, large, or somewhere in the middle, Kia keeps releasing stellar new products. The company s latest model is the 2021 Kia Sorento, which was revealed for the United States back in September and slots above the Sportage but below the Telluride. Positioned as a midsize crossover, the Sorento splits the difference between most midsize two-row models and three-row models that might be too large for some families.
Kia is hoping that the new Sorento s unique size will attract buyers who are split between smaller crossovers like a Toyota RAV4 or larger ones like the Highlander and Telluride. CarBuzz was sent two Sorento models to drive, an SX Prestige and an SX Prestige with the X-Line package, and we quickly found plenty to love about them. Here are seven of the best features.
