The new 2023 Kia Sorento is a practical three-row SUV that is fuel efficient and very well equipped in terms of convenience and safety technologies.
Enough space for the family and its luggage
The 2023 Kia Sorento is a very practical vehicle that is popular with families due to the generous interior space that makes it possible to take up to seven passengers out on a trip while still having enough space to carry the necessary luggage. With more headroom and legroom than most of its competitors in all three rows of seats, the Sorento makes long drives more comfortable for every passenger, even those sitting in the third row. Despite this, the cargo compartment is not sacrificed since its capacity remains at 357 litres when all of the seats are in use, which means it is possible to carry a substantial amount of luggage and cargo even with seven people onboard. When larger items need to be transported, both of the rear seat rows fold flat into the floor, opening up 1,090 litres behind the second row or 2,138 litres behind the driver’s seat.
Four fuel-efficient powertrains to choose from
The 2023 Kia Sorento is available with four different powertrains that offer varying levels of power while remaining impressively fuel efficient. The standard Sorento is powered by a 2.5L four-cylinder engine that delivers 191 horsepower and a fuel consumption of only 8.7 L/100 km on the highway. For more power, a turbocharged version of this engine puts out 281 horsepower with a consumption of 9.2 L/100 km. Drivers who prioritize efficiency can turn to the hybrid version, with its 227 horsepower and 6.4 L/100 km city consumption figure, or the plug-in hybrid model with 261 horsepower and the addition of 51 kilometres of electric range.
A well-equipped SUV
Every trim level of the 2023 Kia Sorento offers an impressive number of desirable features despite its price being among the lowest in the segment, making it a great value proposition. Some of the technologies available on the Sorento include the heated and ventilated front seats, the wireless versions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the dual-screen digital dashboard, and many active safety systems such as the adaptive cruise control, the lane keeping assist, the rear cross-traffic alert and the blind-spot view monitor.
