The Kia Sorento combines good looks with a go-anywhere performance that will make it popular with yachtsmen up and down the country

The design team behind the new Kia Sorento have created a car capable of dealing with a rocky foreshore or a weed covered slipway. Like every great yacht, this is a car that is capable of going the distance. The Kia Sorento is a 4x4 for owners who could tell the difference between style and substance – and who demanded the best towing and off-road capability available.

True towing capability

The Kia Sorento has won numerous ‘Tow Car of the Year’ awards* from magazines and organisations that understand the demands put on a vehicle used for regular towing. With a 3.5 tonne towing capacity**, strong ladderframed chassis and all-independent suspension, the Sorento will take you and your yacht wherever you want to go.

aunching is simple and safe thanks to a selectable or full-time 4WD system and a low ratio gearbox to cope with severe off-road conditions. You may be pulling a trailer full of dinghies, a RIB, or a handsome daysailor. Perhaps you’re heading for your local slipway or maybe you’ve set course for further horizons and need to eat up the motorway miles before launching in a brand new sailing ground.

Wherever you are bound, there is a choice of newly revised engines to provide all the power you need. The 2.5 litre turbo-diesel with its powerful climbing and towing ability and the 3.3 litre V6 petrol engine deliver the drive and performance, while modified gear boxes ensure a smooth and
responsive driving experience.

The good looks of the Kia Sorento speak for themselves. A stylish and contemporary interior ensures driver and crew can relax after a hard day on the water. A new dashboard and centre console design mean that controls and storage spaces are exactly where you want them – just like aboard a well-designed yacht.

Both body and soul are catered for with a wealth of safety features as well as high quality interior finishes and a maximum of 1,880 litre of luggage
space. With prices starting at just £20,195 OTR*** the Kia Sorento is the perfect package for the serious sailor.
