En 2007 el grupo koreano Hyundai-Kia firmó un acuerdo con Haldex para que esta suministrara sus sistemas de tracción por lo que se presupone que los nuevos modelos iX35, Sportage e incluso el nuevo Kia Sorento se fabricarán con el sistema Haldex Gen.4 Intelligent AWD.

2011 Kia Sorento SX Road Test
Em fin despues de mirar y mirar no hay nada claro, te explico lo que he visto por las WEBS y que podria ser motivo del cambio de anagrama. Si hubiera algun mecanico por el foro quizas lo sabria.
1.- en la primera WEB parece que el sistema era un Haldex.
2.- EL video de SorentoXroad es de 2010 y en teoria era para el Sportage, pero en otras Webs parecen comentar que el SOrento version 2011 tambien lo lleva.
Mis conclusiones ha falta de ponerme debajo el coche y mirar la marca, es que quizas cambiaron de proveedor por el nuevo sistema Dynamax que provee un sistema autoamtico de 4x4, lo que si puedo decir es que en mojado y con los casi 200CV que tiene no he logrado hacer patinar las ruedas delanteras. Osea que no se si lleva un Haldex o un Dynamax.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 10, 2010 --
After this model year, it will be easy to find a Peoria used Kia Sorento with a brand-specific all-wheel-drive (AWD) system in place. The system, which the company has named Dynamax, has been added to the 2011 model Sorentos. The company claims the AWD system is so advanced that it can anticipate road conditions before actually arriving to the troubled area. In so doing, the Dynamax will then adjust accordingly to the pavement, which prevents the driver from having to adjust the vehicle manually.
The AWD system comes in response to an industry-wide push to develop company specific technology, which can then be used as selling points for cars. For example, GMC’s OnStar program is not unique to the company, but the name is. With the Dynamax name, Kia Motors Corp. is hoping to earn itself name recognition for a superb AWD system. Such an accomplishment would no doubt cause Peoria Kia Soul drivers to be plentiful on the roads.
Today, Peoria used Kia Sorento vehicles do have an AWD system, but with Dynamax, Kia hopes to compete with higher-end car brands such as Audi and BMW. With other companies naming their systems and educating the car-buying public about them, Kia Motor Corps realized their vehicles needed to be distinguishable as well. Thus, through efforts of a venture project with Magna Powertrain, a division of Magna International Inc., Dynamax was born. The system is said to improve a driver’s handling on the vehicle, along with improved fuel economy and overall performance. Therefore, Peoria Kia Soul and other Kia model drivers can now cruise the roads in a number of different weather conditions thanks to the Dynamax system.
