Kia Sorento GT Line 2024 drive review

Kia Sorento GT Line – Last week I drove one of my favourite cars. The Kia Sorento GT-Line

The latest generation was launched in 2020 and received an upgrade early this year.

The Sorento comes in a four-model range and a number of engine choices. Models are the S, Sport, Sport + and the GT-Line

There is a 3.5 litre petrol, version in all four models and comes in front wheel drive only with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The familiar 2.2 litre turbo diesel comes in all four models and all-wheel drive only along with an eight speed DCT.

There is also the 1.6L Hybrid engine that comes in the GT-Line in both front wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The PHEV is coming soon.

The updated styling makes the Sorento look even better. Inside the GT-Line ambience is excellent. It’s comfortable, spacious and quiet.

I love the 12.5-inch central touch screen and the huge digital instrument cluster. Also, on those cold winter morning the heated seats are much appreciated.

My favourite version of the Sorento is the diesel GT-Line but I could be tempted by the hybrid GT-Line in all wheel drive.

There is a reason the Kia Sorento is popular, That’s because its exceptionally good.

What is good?

Digital displays and infotainment connectivity
Interior space and ambience
Smooth diesel and hybrid engine and transmission and economical

What is not so good?

Third row seats a bit tight and no airbag
No massage seats
Intrusive safety features (speed assist and LKA) and annoying to turn off every time

Instead of the Kia Sorento GT Line buyers could look at:

This size SUV is ideal for families, that’s why the segment is so popular with buyer and thus car brands. They come with seven seats mostly, usually AWD and plenty of space for a family.

Buyers could look at the: Hyundai Santa Fe, Peugeot 5008 GT, Toyota Kluger, Mitsubishi Outlander, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Outback and Skoda Kodiaq.
