Sorento is both dynamic in style and fresh in spirit, and the inspiring cabin won’t disappoint. With its beautifully defined lines and cohesive suite of intuitive controls, the cockpit is the perfect backdrop to make driving a pleasure. The soft push of the engine START /STOP button is your first introduction to the quality fittings, followed by the sporty instrument cluster and the crisp styling of the audio controls.
Panoramic sunroof: Open up to the freedom and light only found in a convertible, until now. The glass panorama sunroof gives you and your family a whole new SUV experience. Daylight floods the Sorento through a three-quarter length glass-encased roof with integrated tilt and slide sunroof.
Seat variation: When you choose a Sorento you opt for flexibility as well as style. The car’s seat arrangement options are among the most convenient in its class, ensuring you travel comfortably and safely. A longer cabin space gives you room to stretch as well as room for friends and family on your journey. You can fold the second and third rows completely flat, split the back row 50/50 or split the centre row 60/40 to accommodate people or storage for long or bulky items.
Downhill Brake Control (DBC) and Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) help control the vehicle's speed, wheel spin and rollback. Now wet, snowy or loose surfaces need not be a problem. Sorento’s monocoque design is lightweight and has a high level of strength and rigidity. This has been enhanced further with various reinforcements, including a rollover hoop and a safety chassis featuring ultra-high tension steel plates to absorb energy under impact. Combine this with safety features such as SRS airbags, seatbelt pre-tensioners and Electronic Stability Program and you'll feel confident that the next generation Sorento is a very safe place to be.
Whether you’re touring the country, heading off-road or driving in the city, you’ll want to make sure you have all the power and performance to suit. Thankfully Sorento’s got you covered with two engine choices (petrol and diesel) alongside a manual (Diesel only) or automatic transmission. What’s more, the highly capable 4-wheel drive system adds a further dimension to deal with all kinds of driving conditions. The result is a responsive and smooth driving experience across the range, with economy and power on-demand.
With a world-class design team headed by Peter Schreyer – one of Europe’s finest automotive designers – the exterior styling of the Sorento marks a new era in design for Kia. Drawing on the simplicity of straight, clean lines to create a solid, robust and sure-footed car, all the credentials of a capable SUV are combined with the elegance and dynamics of a family sedan to make this vehicle stand out from the crowd in all the right ways.
There is much more to Sorento than its dynamic styling and driving capability. Sorento has been designed with practicality in mind. It has space – and lots of it. Even with all seven seats in use you’ll find a host of creative storage ideas and thoughtful accessories that enhance your journeys. The second row seating, for example, features a walk-in device (7 seat), reclining seat backs and a centre armrest.
