For each vehicle we consider buying, there are plenty of models in the range to choose from. Buyers pick a specific model not basically for its exterior design (most of them have almost the same design), but for its powertrain, safety, tech and interior facilities. For those who are indecisive while picking from a vehicle range, Kia has a solution. Kia UK offers its new Sorento mid-size SUV in just one trim level.
Yes, you have heard it right, Kia has combined all the trim levels in the Sorento lineup into just one model. Named, the Sorento Edition, it is perhaps an excellent option for all buyers who have a hard time deciding on the certain model in a range. You get a fully loaded model or you get nothing.
Interior
Kia has chosen the flagship 4 trim level and loaded it with all the good features from other variants. The seven-seater brings a lot of good facilities including Nappa leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, customizable head-up display, power tailgate, remote smart parking assist, Blind-spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, 360-degree around-view monitor, and blind-spot view monitor.
Other highly attractive features comprise Bose premium sound system with 12 speakers, a wireless mobile phone charger, a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support, and an integrated memory system, 8-way power-adjustable front passenger seat, front and outer rear heated seats, and front ventilated seats.
Exterior
The exterior is accessible in only three body shades including White Pearl, Graphite, and Midnight Black – all complemented by dark accents. The hybrid and plug-in hybrid models sport 19-inch alloy wheels, whereas the diesel model receives a pair of 20-inch black wheels, unique to this variant only.
While you will not have any exterior and interior choices for the new Sorento in the UK, you can pick from different powertrains.
It is still unclear if Kia will adopt the same strategy in other parts of the world as well, including the USA and the UAE. For the time being, Kia UAE sells the all-new Sorento in various flavours. The price starts from AED 103,000. Nevertheless, the Sorento Edition won’t be a bad idea for buyers seeking all the bells and whistles in this region.
