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.

There are two main draws for the diesel Sorento. Firstly, it has a 2500kg towing capacity that’s ideal for caravaners. Secondly, it’s the cheapest way into a Sorento. However, some similarly priced premium rivals have more refined diesel engines.
