In tinkering around with the controls of my new 2005 Sorento, I seem to have put the altimeter into "trip mode" (according to the owner's manual) in which it resets itself to 0 to show the altitude difference between start & stop points. Unfortunately, the owner's manual doesn't do a very good job of describing how to put it back into normal mode so it will read the current altitude.
BTW, for those who haven't seen much about the '05 yet, I was very happy to see that the EPA highway mileage has increased on the 4x2, now up to 22mpg (California). I know it's not a huge difference, but sounds like Kia is making an effort to address complaints about mileage.
Other changes seem minor - the auto trans now has a shiftmatic style shifter, and they've added some polished aluminum trim on the interior (steering wheel, door handles) on at least the EX. I didn't look at the new LX to see if there were any differences there.
