Kia has cut prices of the refreshed Sorento series and raised specifications.
The new seven-seat Sorento starts from £41,995, £3,030 less than the current entry-level Sorento.
With the updated model, Kia will offer three grades to Sorento buyers in the UK: ‘2’, ‘3’ and ‘4’. Each variant will be available with the choice of a 2.2-litre diesel, 1.6-litre turbocharged-petrol hybrid (HEV), or a 1.6-litre turbocharged-petrol plug-in hybrid (PHEV).
The HEV and PHEV Sorento variants are equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission (6AT), while diesel models receive an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (8DCT).
The Kia Sorento, which celebrates its 21st birthday this year, is a consistently popular model for Kia in the UK and has helped to transform perceptions of the brand in recent years.
The current fourth-generation model has been on sale since August 2020, and now benefits from a refreshed exterior and interior design, and an expanded specification line-up.
The most expensive version in the nine-model range costs from £55,995.
