Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDi 4WD manual road test
The old Sorento was a tough 4×4 workhorse that could tow a laden horse box up Ben Nevis, almost. But seeking broader appeal the all-new 7-seater Sorento is comfier, quieter, more family orientated and stylish. And it’s now even available in 2WD guise, but has it gone too soft?

Kia Sorento new and nearly new
Prices for the new Sorento start at £20,495 for the basic 2WD version, and rise to £29,795 for the top-of-the-range KX-3 spec auto CRDi 4WD. The manual KX-2 spec CRDi 4WD I drove is listed at £25,495, and for that you get: black leather upholstery, dual climate control, a 6-speaker audio system (with USB, Aux and an iPod/iPhone input cable), all-round electric windows, cruise control, heated front seats, privacy glass, reversing sensors and more. Fuel consumption is 42.8mpg combined with CO2 at 174g/km (band H/£175 annual road tax). It’s a tempting package, but the clincher could well be Kia’s unique 7-year/100,000-mile warranty.
