The Kia Sorento SUV — Key Highlights

Kia Sorento is a three-row midsize SUV that is targeted at families and people who require versatility.

• Seat rows (i.e. a kia sorento 7 seater) -this is a key selling point to a family. 

• Offers has multiple drive modes,

• state of the art safety, and state of the art infotainment. 

Being a kia sorento suv, it competes in a category with other three-row SUVs, featuring a tradeoff between on-road civility and practical room instead of off-road capability.

Performance specs (approximate) include:

• V6 produces ~269 hp and torque around 331 Nm.

• Hybrid setup: combined output of ~238 hp with torque in the 367 Nm range.

These variants allow buyers to prioritize power or efficiency depending on preference.

Kia Sorento Pricing in Pakistan

The older Sorentos (varying with 2.4L models) may be seen in the used car market at very lower prices. An example would be a second-hand Kia Sorento 2.4 AWD that can be sold at PKR 7,455,000 (prices vary depending on the condition and the model year). 

It is always important to ensure when the kia sorento is being compared to sale, whether it is ex-factory price, on-road price (including the GST, delivery, and registration), or a resale price of a used car.

What to Look For: Features, Comfort & Safety

The Following are the features that one must look before buying Kia Sorento: 

Seating & Interior

Since the Sorento is a Kia Sorento 7 seater, the third row is meant for occasional use, which is best applied to children or short journeys. Row 3 has less legroom compared to the front 2 rows. 

The interior, ambient lighting, and comfort (heated/ventilated seats, high-quality audio, panorama sunroof) can be different depending on the trim. 

Technology & Infotainment

Premium models have huge infotainment displays, connectivity (Apple CarPlay / Android Auto), wireless chargers, multiple USB-C, and other driver amenities such as lane keep aid, blind-spot detection, and surround-view cameras. 

Safety & Driver Aids

Abs are frequently fitted with safety systems such as ABS, stability control, multiple airbags, autonomous emergency braking (AEB), lane-keep-assist and parking collision-avoidance. 

AWD version can include terrain options (Snow, Mud, Sand) and enhanced grip in extremely unfavorable circumstances. 

Ride & Handling

The Sorento is more of a comfort than a sports car. The V6 model has more passing power and smoother overtaking whereas the hybrid models are fuel efficient. Variants of AWD offer added grip under slippery conditions at the expense of fuel economy.

Tips for Buying a Kia Sorento

1. Choose Your Type of Variant: When you need frequent access or usage of all 7 seats, then you should focus more on comfort and access to the 3rd row, when you need most 5-seats, then the hybrid FWD might be a better choice.

2. Check On-Road Costs: This is an ex-factory price, which consists of factors in GST, registration, delivery costs, and import taxes.

3. Look at the Used Listings: In the case of Kia Sorento for sale, look at the mileage, maintenance record, battery (hybrid) and condition of the car.
