I had such a blast during the 2016 Kia Sorento National Press Introduction last month! Not only was the event being held in one of my favorite vacation spots, Lake Tahoe, California, but the attendees were invited to stay at the swanky Ritz-Carlton.<\/p>\n

The group included several Kia<\/a> executives as well as traditional press and online influencers. It was great to see some familiar faces and meet others. Dinner was amazing and I loved the full heated chairs and sofa outside.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The next day\u2019s activities began with a formal product briefing. Did you know that 20 all-new or significantly redesigned Kia vehicles have been introduced since 2009? Next we got a quick history of the Sorento and then the program moved on to note new features of the 2016 model. Here are some highlights:<\/p>\n Then it was time to hit the road. My driving partner, Kristy of Adventures of a Couponista<\/a>, and I started off in the 2016 Kia Sorento<\/a> V6 model.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After a driver change and crossing the Nevada state border, we stopped off in Reno for lunch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the way back, we jumped in a 2.0L Turbo model. Along the way, we met up with fellow attendees trying to get some auto beauty shots along the lake.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Back at the Ritz-Carlton, the group boarded gondola and headed uphill to dinner. There we were met by some feathered friends.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The final dinner was full of fun and laughs as many showed off their creations for the event\u2019s Ugly Sweater contest. There were some outrageous entries!\u00a0A major storm was on the way the following morning so I made sure to start on the trip home before that came in. With a ton of memories and a full belly, I\u2019d say the 2016 Kia Sorento launch event was a success. This model will be available January 2015.
