The Kia Sorento was built to cope with the demands of a Highland track or sodden ground

The Kia Sorento has been designed for action. This is a car that will not give up when faced with a sodden field or on a Highland track. Kia designed this 4x4 for those who can distinguish between style and substance and who demand the best off-road and towing capability. The Sorento thrives in the countryside and leaves other urban off-road vehicles with their wheels spinning in the mud.

True off-road capability

A selectable or full-time four-wheel drive system and a low-ratio gearbox allow the Sorento to cope with even the harshest offroad conditions. The strong and increasingly hard to come by ladder-frame chassis and dual-frame body provide strength that you can rely on while the independent suspension ensures a smooth ride.

Whether you are towing a trailer or heading into the moors for grouse, there is a choice of newly revised engines to provide all the power you need. The 2.5-litre turbodiesel, with its powerful climbing and towing ability, and the 3.3-litre V6 petrol engine deliver the performance while modified gearboxes ensure a smooth and responsive driving experience.

The Sorento has won several “Tow Car of the Year” awards from organisations that understand the demands put on a vehicle that is used for regular towing. With a 3.5-tonne towing capacity* the Sorento will take you and a trailer wherever you want to go.

Strength and style

The good looks of the Sorento speak for themselves. A stylish, contemporary interior ensures the passengers can relax after a hard day in the field. A new dashboard and centre console design mean that controls and storage spaces are exactly where you want them. Both body and soul are catered for with a wealth of safety features, high-quality interior finishes and up to 1,880 litres of luggage space.

With prices starting at just £20,195 OTR** the Sorento is the perfect package for those for whom a 4x4 is a necessity. For more information visit www.kia.co.uk or text “SORENTO” to 84880
