Kia’s new Sorento arrived late Summer last year edging further into “premium”
territory with yet another step up in fit and finish.
A simple three-grade (‘2’,’3’,’4’) range and three engines, asking prices range from £39,360 to £47,610.
Drivetrain: 1.6-litre HEV T-GDi 226bhp mild hybrid (self-charging) electric motor and battery-aided petrol 6-speed auto; 2.2 CRDi 199bhp eight-speed dual clutch auto Diesel; 1.6 T-GDi Plug-In Hybrid 261bhp 6-speed auto. No manual ‘box option, sadly.
Diesel (‘3’ grade only): 127mph; 0-60, 9.1-secs; 42.2mpg official (combined). Max braked trailer weight is 2,500kg (500kg up on previous model) and tow-ball capacity 100kg - a load-haul ability “usefully more than almost all … key rivals” it is claimed.
