Review Kia Sorento



It is a suitable terrain for anyone thought to give a relatively intense use in the field and do not want to give up some comfort and safety for road travel. Is only available with a diesel engine of 170 hp.

Of SUVs currently on sale and more or less average fulfills the above assumptions, there is none cheaper.

If we search the database km77.com SUVs between 4.5 and 4.8 m in length with diesel engine over 160 hp and permanent four wheel drive, you can see that the Sorento is by far the least expensive (list sorted by price). It is on sale from 27,613 € (all prices on the KIA Sorento).

However, the KIA Sorento most interesting is one that can have stability control (for the security it provides). This version is available from € 30,863 (ie, almost the same as a SsangYong Kyron 165 bhp with a similar equipment).

If you are going to use almost entirely by road or roads that are not complicated, there are cars Sorento prices that are preferable, as a Nissan X-Trail or Mitsubishi Outlander (spend less, are more agile and have higher acceleration capability with less power).

The major limitation of the Sorento for road use is that sometimes, the suspension is hard and dry. It is a nimble car. Stands out for her poise on the motorway than the ability to change trajectory in areas of curves.

Another drawback of the Sorento is that the automatic gearbox (optional) just gives retention: it tends to make very long marches when lifted off the throttle. However, it is the best option if you are driving on the field, especially in areas slow and complicated. With the manual gearbox, the Sorento uses less fuel than the automatic (comparative tab).

All versions can be either standard or optional, browser and connection 'Bluetooth' for the phone.

It may have some items of equipment which are available in models such as in-depth adjustable steering wheel, automatic wipers or charger discs, among others. Nor can lead Xenon headlights, but in this case is not a drawback because it gives with the lighting halogen bulb headlights is good.
It is an SUV of 4.59 m long, 1.86 m wide and 1.73 m high. You bodywork of five doors and five seats. Its chassis is a classic terrain of stiles and rails. The trunk has a capacity of 486 liters, but can be extended (by folding the rear seats) to 1,849 liters.

The Sorento is currently being sold a pattern that began selling in 2003. KIA updated it in 2006, with changes in equipment, appearance (more information) and a 170 hp engine (instead of one 150 hp: increased power is due to the new turbocharger has a variable instead of fixed and some changes to the engine management)

You can not have the petrol engine displacement of 2.4 liters and 139 hp, which was far cheaper alternative to full range).
