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.
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.
