The Kia Sorento towing a horsebox
The new Kia Sorento is built to tow and thrives in the countryside, leaving aspiring “urban” off-roaders with their wheels spinning in the mud. It is totally dependable, just like your favourite horse. It’s a 4x4 for owners who can tell the difference between style and substance — and who demand the best towing and off-road capability available.
Whether you are clocking up the motorway miles to collect a new horse or just travelling to a local event — the Sorento will get you there in safety and style.
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,** a strong and increasingly hard to come by ladder-framed chassis and allindependent
suspension, the Sorento will take you and your trailer wherever you want to go.
Rough dirt tracks and sodden show grounds are no challenge for the Sorento thanks to a selectable or full-time 4WD system and a low ratio gearbox to cope with severe off-road conditions. Whether you are hauling hay, heading for a local riding club event or even just meeting friends for a hack, the Sorento will carry you in comfort.
A choice of newly revised engines provide all the power you need. The 2.5 litre turbo-diesel with its powerful climbing and towing ability and the sophisticated 3.3 litre V6 petrol engine deliver superb drive and performance while modified gear boxes ensure a smooth and responsive driving experience.
Discerning ride
The fine lines of the Kia Sorento speak for themselves. A stylish and contemporary interior ensures driver and passengers can relax after a hard day in the saddle. 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 as well as high quality finishes and a maximum of 1,880 litres of luggage space.
Owning a horse can feel like a full time job and demands an SUV that won’t let you down, whatever is asked of it. With prices starting at just £20,195 OTR***, the Kia Sorento is set to become a favourite in stable yards up and down the country.
