7 highlights from the stylish, spacious and tech-packed Kia Sorento

The Kia Sorento is the SUV that’s big on space, big on tech and big on style

  • 2025

    Everyone has their own standard expectations of an SUV. It’s got to be roomy, comfortable and easy to drive. But then what? What about technology designed for ultimate convenience? Design touches that make it not just your average SUV. Take a look at some of the Kia Sorento’s most exciting features

  • The Sorento’s seven-seat flexibility makes it the perfect people and cargo carrier. With 40:20:40 split-folding and reclining second row seats, as well as 50:50 split-folding third row seats, you can guarantee all your passengers a comfortable ride, as well as carry a sizeable haul of bulky items. Add to that positively cavernous leg and headroom for all seats and you’ve got yourself a pretty palatial four-wheel drive.

  • The adaptive smart cruise control is a Sorento first, constantly monitoring the distance to the vehicle in front, adjusting the speed of the car and even stopping if needed, all completely automatically.

  • Further improving the drivability is the intelligent All-Wheel-Drive technology. Building on its off-road pedigree to make everyday driving more comfortable, the Sorento automatically adjusts its height according to the total weight of the people and luggage on board. It also reverts to 2WD mode most of the time to boost fuel economy, but when conditions get more challenging it automatically adjusts to the requisite levels of traction.

  • Elsewhere, there’s an eight-inch touchscreen displaying the Sorento’s top-of-the-range satnav system, as well as the smart park assist camera, helping you squeeze into the tightest of spaces. You’ll also enjoy a ten-speaker infinity sound system, with access to all your favourite music through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

  • On the outside, the Sorento boasts the Smart power tailgate, which opens the boot after detection of the smart entry system key behind the car for three seconds, making trips from the supermarket effortless. Meanwhile, LED daytime running lights improve visibility for oncoming traffic, while the rear combination lights are integrated into the tail light cluster to create an attention-grabbing final flourish.
