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 range-topping trim pushes the Sorento’s price up very high. It adds rear airbags (it’s a shame the lower trims don’t get this as standard), a panoramic sunroof, a system which lets you park the car remotely via a smartphone and heated rear seats. Because of the price, it’s difficult to recommend.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we created our free New Car Buying service. This links you with trusted local dealers who base their offers on prices haggled by our mystery shoppers.
