Design
With its sweeping grille and streamlined headlamps, the Kia Sorento has an aggressive yet elegant exterior appearance. Its confident attitude is enhanced by its sculpted lines and optional 18-inch wheels. It’s not the toughest SUV, but it does have a chic, modern look.
The inside of the Kia Sorento is designed with the driver in mind, including premium materials and cosy seating for five people. A panoramic sunroof, mood lighting, and a large touchscreen infotainment system are among the available options. With lots of room for both people and goods, the cabin is a sensible option for larger families.
Specifications
Engine and Gearbox
To get additional power (200 hp), go for a 3.5L V6 engine or a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine for efficiency (191 horsepower). A turbodiesel version is also available (specifics vary by location). Automatic 8-speed gearboxes that shift smoothly are matched with all model levels. The usual setup consists of front-wheel drive; however, for better traction, all-wheel drive is available.
Performance
The Kia Sorento places more emphasis on a comfortable ride than aggressive handling. The base 4-cylinder engine has sufficient power, but the V6 accelerates more satisfactorily. The turbodiesel option offers strong torque for towing, but it’s not always accessible. Available all-wheel drive improves traction in all weather conditions, although it is not intended for off-roading.
Features
With a large touchscreen entertainment system, a clear digital instrument cluster (optional), and smooth smartphone connection with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Kia Sorento has an interior designed with comfort in mind. Elevated options include opulent features such as air-conditioned and heated seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a surround-view camera to facilitate parking.
Safety
With a number of active safety measures, the Kia Sorento puts an emphasis on enhancing driver confidence. Anticipate lane departure warning with steering assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and autonomous emergency braking for both vehicles and pedestrians as standard features. For a more comfortable driving experience, higher trim levels offer highway driving aids like lane centering and adaptive cruise control.
Suspension and brakes
The well-tuned suspension of the Sorento contributes to its reputation for providing a comfortable ride. It most likely has the standard arrangement for SUVs in this class, which is a MacPherson strut design up front and a multi-link setup in the back. Standard equipment on all four wheels is disc brakes.
