2024 Kia Sorento X-Pro SX Embraces Wintry Weather

by Rich Taber ~ The calendar may say it's spring but wintry weather persists here in New England. It's enough to make me long for the all-weather dependability and cold-weather comforts I came to appreciate while test driving the 2024 Kia Sorento X-Pro SX Prestige back in February. Through cold, snow, rain, slush and gale force winds during seven of winter's most nasty days, the Sorento confidently persevered while keeping me and my favorite passenger very safe and comfortable.  All Photos by Rich Taber for RPM News Weekly The test-drive week started on a Wednesday with temperatures right at about the freezing…

2025 Infiniti QX60 Autograph

Not a lot has changed on the Infiniti QX60 for 2025, but what has changed will be pleasing to those three-row SUV shoppers who crave more fuel economy.
