I had the Sorento GT-Line all wheel drive hybrid electric vehicle.

This is the top spec model that comes equipped with everything you could possibly want in terms of comfort, safety and luxury features. It also looks quite smart with the design refresh last year.

Priced from around $73,300 plus the usual costs the Sorento Hybrid GT-Line is actually great value.

I really like the huge screen that seems to flow from in front of the driver through to the central stack area. Its clear and easy to read.  Especially the reverse camera.

Other features I Like are the exceptionally comfortable front seats. Heated, ventilated and supportive.

Middle row seats are great for taller people, but the third row is really for early teens. There are five top tether and 4 isofix Child Restraint Anchorage Points. The flexibility of rear folding seats is another plus point.

The 1,6 litre hybrid petrol engine has enough performance for most drivers and is particularly economical. I averaged around 6.5 litres per hundred kilometres for the time I was driving. With a new dial transmission, it takes a little getting used to but works well when you do.

Its easy to see why the Sorento is so popular with families. It is so easy to live with.

The post Kia Sorento Hybrid GT Line driven for 2025 appeared first on Motoring Minute.

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.

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.
