Kia Sorento

The Sorento is the flagship SUV from Korean car maker Kia. On the market since 2002, the fourth generation made its debut in 2020, winning plaudits from drivers for its beefy design, spacious interior, and quiet running. The entry-level 2 trim comes with a 1.6-litre hybrid engine, as does the high-end 4, while the 3 also offers a punchier 2.2-litre diesel option. Seating up to seven adults – Kia’s only model to do so – with a massive boot and all the latest technology, it’s a serious family car that doesn’t compromise on style.
