The Sorento Hybrid is perhaps the best value full-sized family-centric SUV on the market today. It combines space, power and equipment levels that you'd traditionally only find in cars one class up.It is a legitimate seven seater, and does so atypically - there's little compromise to overall luggage capacity, so it'd be an ideal companion to any growing family's lifestyle.
Its stature is also equally impressive, with the large size offering you a sense of security, crucial if you are going to be using the vehicle to ferry your precious little ones.
And the size doesn't really come with drawbacks. The powerplant that provides the oomph for this Korean SUV is a 1.6 litre turbocharged four banger, supplemented by a hybrid system. The system is good for a combined 228 bhp and 350 Nm of torque.
Despite the power and the heft, this is by no means a sluggish car, and it achieves everything whilst also returning excellent fuel economy. How good? Try 15 km/l in less than ideal traffic conditions on for size.
Safety is of top priority for any manufacturer, and Kia is no different. As standard, the Sorento Hybrid is fitted with an extensive safety suite consisting of the Driver Attention Warning, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Surround View Monitor, Blind-Spot View Monitor, and Smart Cruise Control
The Kia Sorento Hybrid is a deserving winner of the SUV category for the Motorist Car of The Year award. Fuel efficient, highly comfortable, and with an extensive list of safety systems and features as standard, its value for money is almost unmatched by the other contenders!
