Kia Sorento Towing Review with The Camping and Caravanning Club

[@mattthwaites3924]

This Sorrento has a tow ball max weight of 100kg. In Australia this is a legal requirement - and you would not be able to tow the van in this video with tow ball weight of 140kg (10% of van weight). I assume the rules are different in the UK? Possibly legal, but is it safe? I’m curious if anyone knows.

It is a shame the new Sorento's are so low on towing. 1st generation and 1st generation facelifted models with their old box chassis where far more capable for towing. So much so that they where officially rated for 3500kg. A whole 1000kg more than the newer ones. I doubt they will be as common as the reviewer states once the old mk1s start dying off.

[@TimboSliceReal]

Maybe in UK. But the v6 current model can tow as much weight (5000 pounds) as any other sorento ever made..

[@BluTrollPro]

@@TimboSliceReal 5000lb is the UK towing capacity of the new one too roughly, the old one in global markets could tow 3500kg (7700lb).

How much does that trailer weigh

[@novaworld1297]

Just brought this exact version and it's amazing for the Mo eyyou csnt lose its very conformable and full. Of bits it'd very steady to drive and its quite economic we have the manual version and for any craavanner that's your best version auto you lose To much pull power as for mpg we have got out of ours for. Town and country 34.2mpg you don't beed to be on constant speed and power when neededas. For room the boot is huge we have the older sorento and thought that was huge in the boot area this is massi e so. Much stuff can be sorted and we are.a family of 5 Road boice isn't to bad its. A heavy car you do hear the tires but we noticed that after a few miles.say 30-40 everything seems to go quiet even the engine at constant 70 we brought ours with 56k on the clock and it was a 15plate we have the remaining kia excellent warrently on it so about 3 years and our had been serviced every 8000 miles by kia its like new and I paid 14.995 I would recommend shopping around and I mean shop around don't be fooled. By good offers on kias many will. Rip. You off with its good for the year and low millage always look at its Mot with the government sadly there's a few kia sorento lemons out there (ie always for ever problem cars) always look for ones if caravaner with tow bar already fitted as you will save a fortune and would probely be manufactured fitted not off the shelf I csnt. Complain about ours it's a fantastic car and a solid thanks to kia for giving top spec for a non silly price tag

What moddel of Sorento is this SX?

[@Aimeen_]

I’m not sure I’d consider the Sorento a “big” car. I’ve got an SXL model. I wish they offered the diesel or a manual in the US.

[@Aimeen_]

@shane cahill we consider the Sorento a midsized SUV here. It’s outsized by the telluride and dwarfed by the suburban and other vehicles. In the garage, I probably have another 7’ (2m) between the end of my Sorento and the wall if I’m parked near the door.

[@MX9000YT]

Big in the uk, medium in the us

[@forresg500]

Is 6 speed auto good in comparison to 8 speed in gt line s etc

[@GabRebSebas]

Hi there, just wondering what's the camper model you used for your vid, cheers.

[@epj900]

Swift Expression 626, he says so in the video

[@TheUpsetter]

I came here to hear a traveller calling out the Kia Sorento and all I got was a skinny guy with an overdraft talking rubbish, the traveller community will be very disappointed with this review, honestly they don't even say how many gas bottles you can carry in the back, Paddy Docherty should be burning yer campsites to the ground for this review.

[@MrSnookerballs]

all these tests should be done at the max MTPLM not MRO as nobody would go on holiday with no equipment. pathetic

[@Natschke_Family_Adventures]

They go on Vacation. A Holiday is a single day.

[@cussininthekitchen8224]

NATSCHKE FAMILY ADVENTURES this is a video made by a man in the UK, which is pretty obvious. It’s commonly known that Holiday is their representation of a vacation.

@@Natschke_Family_Adventures Holiday. Same as a hood is a bonnet, a fender is a bumper and the trunk is a boot. This is the UK, ok?
