The Kia Sorento is a brilliant seven-seat SUV and, while it's not a bargain, it offers truly fantastic practicality. Most buyers will be best served by the hybrid (HEV) model, although the plug-in (PHEV) will appeal to company car drivers and the diesel is the one to go for if you’re towing. We think the entry-level trim – called 2 – is the best choice.

This mid-spec trim adds things like a bigger digital driver display, heated rear seats, an upgraded sound system and side parking sensors as well as safety equipment like the blind-spot camera system. If your budget can stretch to it then it might be worth considering, but we still think 2 offers the best value in the lineup.
