The all-new 2021 Kia Sorento is finally here and man, are we impressed! Kia has jam-packed the new Sorento with a mountain of features, along with some segment first equipment. But, is it enough to justify a price hike? Paul Maric tests out the new Kia Sorento to find out!

Owned ours for a month. 1000km driven. 8.1l per 100km doing 70:30 city:country kms. It’s a rock solid car. We have a 18 month old kid and a big dog and it’s perfect for us. We just sold our GLC for this and have zero regrets.

I have driven to the Top End and back including on some rough unsealed roads including to Gonlom that a ranger told me later that the 4WD road to Jim Jim was in better Nick then the 2WD Gonlom road at the time. Driven to the lower Eyre Peninsula twice including unsealed limestone roads. It got stolen by some locals who took it bush bashing for the night. It is fair to say that my car has been somewhat abused. Would I buy another Kia? You betcha but something like the Sorrento that has some ground clearance and if Kia did a twincab ute it would be on the radar.

I have personally test drove one of these vehicles only a couple of months ago and I may say that I was so impressed with what KIA are offering. It drove absolutely beautiful and and handled great, The comfort was outstanding, I had no dramas with the power and responsiveness. I loved the interior design and it was encouraging to see KIA bring something different to the table. I personally rate it highly compared to other small SUV's in that price range. If anyone is looking for a new vehicle, id encourage you to just take one for a test drive and see what you think about it.

I just did a test drive of the Gt line-disesel, yesterday. What i observed: -Looks even better than in pics and videos, although the side view looks plain but it suits the overall muscular look. -Interior was very porsche and very high end. Infotainment was very smooth and high resolution. Only thing i didnt like were the air vents, not my taste but wife loved it. If this had the interior of the new 2022 tucson it would have been perfect. My other small issue was the driver display, the blindspot monitor in the display was small and most times unusable, check this if you have impaired vision. - The drive was almost perfect, the car had an intense acceleration. The diesel engine sounded mean and muscular. Very quiet inside the car, can only hear the engine at high revs. You feel the small bumps slightly because of those 20 inch alloys but on bigger bumps i felt nothing. 0-100 kmph was like 7 seconds. Car was giving 7-8 l per 100km mileage. Also, the car is ridiculously good on corners. This is my balanced view,i loved the car, its a percect family car. I will be buying the GT line diesel next month.

Nice as an option but one of the reasons my Kia has lasted so long, is... not too much to break. Thanks again for the thorough review, much better than what I am seeing on other channels.

Mine is ordered and I'm only 1 week into my 3 month wait. I was told, come January some order times could be 5 months?? I am obsessed with this SUV. As cheesy as it sounds, the second I got into it, I felt at home. It's so well designed. I laughed with the salesman that the remote parking is cool but who would ACTUALLY use it that often in the real world? Turns out: me. I would. In the test drive I ended up having to park it in the world's smallest carpark. I became nervous, not familiar with the cars size etc. Let me tell you, the amount of help it gave me when parking was crazy, and wouldn't you know it.... Right there... In the real world... There wasn't enough room for me to open the car door. I needed the remote parking feature. And it was magical. I can't wait to sit and discover all its tech and customise it for myself.

Finally! Was sooo eagerly awaiting your review. While there are other Australian Channels as well that did the review of Sorento before you did, I was eagerly awaiting your comprehensive review. Interestingly and unfortunately, there are no plans for Kia to launch Sorento in India. Intriguing. Kia really took off well in India with only two products in their portfolio - Seltos and Carnival (the old generation. And there is official words that the newer one is not coming to our shore until 2022 😞). In fact, it’s the Seltos that wrote the success story of Kia in India. They have the highest number of sales figure despite having “extremely” tough competition from the already established player in this segment.

may be because it is an AWD not 4WD and 80% roads in India are like offroad.
@LuvvSURYA
@LuvvSURYA 3 жыл бұрын
@@mikeykeyes : Well, that's not exactly is true. First, it's true that Seltos sold in India is not AWD (All Wheel Drive) but FWD (Front Wheel Drive) that kept the cost low, hence making it accessible to a large population. Still, it does not come cheap. But Kia brilliantly managed to mask the offroad incapabilities of Seltos by throwing in a lot of features, some of which are segment-first, in the car. This, somehow, made it feel like a Value-For-Money proposition. Second, it'd be an overstatement to say that 80% of roads in India are like offroad terrain. It might be in the past that pushed the automakers to develop a model for the Indian market different from the one offered in the international market. But its a passe. FYI, India is the largest growing market for the auto industry. This wouldn't be possible if the infrastructure in India was undeveloped for those auto companies.

Waited 18 months to get this car for my wife. She loves it and i do too. I disagree with the comment that the remote parking is a gimmick. Have you ever parked in an underground structure with its narrow spots and concrete pylons everywhere? Love the engine (got the 6 cylinder petrol) the driver aids, the space, the interior (got the gt line) and the look. Wish the towing capacity was higher. There are also some foibles when using the radar cruise control.

Beautiful car, Loved the design and features. I have a question, will this car come to Pakistan like do you know where else the Kia Sorento 2021 and the old model will launch. Because the old Sorento and the new one is yet not in Pakistan. Thanks for the reviews!☺️

Thanks for the comprehensive review. For suvs such as Sorento, Kluger and Palisade would it be possible to include off road reviews as well, given that these vehicles come with some off road capability.

Would be also great to add the New Hyundai Santa Fe to the comparison list as it will also be launched with some common features from the Kia stable.

The ambient sound tracks - they are fitted into Genesis vehicles, just part of elements that Hyundai / Kia group is adding to high end vehicles to add a sense of luxury.

Great review as always. Fuel economy was interesting. Have a 2011 Kia Sorento and thinking of upgrading soon and considering this but also the RAVk4 cruiser hybrid for the better fuel economy.

In my opinion you can't compare that hybrid is not convincing like all in their family feels really low rent the leather feels like vinyl (maybe it is), the plastics feels extremely scratchy and rattly, the door feels extremely light and like tin can and when you open there is hardly any resistance meaning the door can just swing open without any resistance. Did I mention the terrible cvt and engine drone? You will try to drive on ev mode all time. I'd rather pay for fuel to be honest than hearing harsh extremely loud sound whenever I put my foot down.
