· Sorento praised for its fuel economy, driving dynamics and well equipped interior
· Sorento highly praised since launch in 2020
Kia’s flagship SUV, the All-New Sorento has made a strong start to the year by picking up ‘Large SUV of the Year’ at the 2021 What Car? Car of the Year Awards.
Up against worthy competition in the Large SUV category, the What Car? judging panel chose the Sorento for its impressive fuel economy, driving dynamics, high levels of standard specification and exceptional build quality.
The variant chosen by the judges at What Car? was the 1.6 T-GDi HEV ‘2’ grade that is available from Wilsons Of Rathkenny priced from £38,845. This entry grade of the large SUV is packed full of standard features such as a Reversing Camera System, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist and Forward Collision Avoidance including Pedestrian, Cyclist and Junction detection.
Commenting on the Sorento win, Steve Huntingford, Editor of What Car? magazine said: “The Sorento's hybrid tech combines good real-world fuel economy with comparatively low CO2emissions, while the ride is comfortable and the steering accurate. Throw in a nicely made and well-equipped interior, a driving position that’s lofty enough to make HGV drivers jealous and Kia’s unmatched seven-year warranty, and the Sorento is an outstanding all-rounder.”
David Simpson, Kia Sales Manager commented: “The All-New Sorento is a fantastic customer proposition, offering seven seats as standard backed by the latest hybrid technology and it’s great to see What Car?’s recognition of this with its latest award.
This is the latest in a fast-growing list of accolades Sorento has already picked up, including at the 2021 Carbuyer Best Car Awards where it won ‘Overall Car of the Year’ and ‘Best Large Family Car’.
