About the Kia Sorento

In size at least, the Kia Sorento is the brand’s flagship SUV and was first introduced in 2003.

Four generations later, the Sorento large seven-seater SUV still attracts a significant audience as one of Australia’s most popular options in the segment.

The Sorento’s success is partly thanks to competitive pricing, exponentially improved quality and value in each successive generation, and a wide choice of variants.

In the current generation the model can be bought with a V6 petrol engine and front-wheel drive, a four-cylinder turbo diesel with all-wheel drive, while a 2022 update introduced a choice of plug-in and mild hybrids (also AWD).

All versions are offered as automatics ranging from a six-speed for the hybrids, the V6 gets an eight speed, while the diesel is equipped with an eight-speed dual-clutch auto.

Kia has never officially confirmed whether its name is a nod to the southern Italian coastal town or the Victorian equivalent, nor has it explained why its name is spelled with only one r not two!
