New Kia Sorento 2017 photo, equipment price and prices for additional options official dealers appeared relatively recently, can be called quite an attractive SUV. The appearance and equipment of the car suggests that it belongs to the premium class SUV. However, can this car be classified as full-fledged SUVs is a fairly common question. Consider a new Kia Sorento 2017 more.

New generation features

Considering the new generation, it should be noted that engineers from Korea, Germany and America worked during its creation. The production of the new generation began to be carried out due to the high popularity of previous generations. An SUV is popular, and the Russian Federation.

The new crossover can be called an advanced achievement modern automotive industry. At the same time, the changes that new kia Sorento 2017, affected the power part, the exterior, the materials used in the decoration.

Much attention is paid to the exterior of the vehicle. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the new generation is based on the Cross GT prototype, which premiered in 2103. It was on the basis of the prototype was created new car. If earlier the SUV was perceived as a representative of the middle class, now it is perceived as an expensive car.

Dimensions of the new generation SUV

Considering the previous and new model, then we note that the last generation has increased in length by 95 millimeters. At the same time, the dimensions were increased in width by 5 millimeters. Despite the insignificant increase in the dimensions of the car, it has become much more comfortable. Main characteristics:

  • The length is 478 cm.
  • Width 189 cm.
  • The base has increased slightly, is 278 cm.
  • The height remained almost unchanged - 168 cm.
  • The wheelbase is 162 cm.

The new Kia Sorento 2017 (photo), the price of which is relatively low, can have a full 3rd row. At the same time, it is dismantled, that is, it is possible to carry out the removal last row seats for a significant increase in volume luggage compartment.

Features of the new body

It should be borne in mind that the Kia Sorento 2017 in a new body, the photo and price of which became known relatively recently, is somewhat similar to the model. However, it should be borne in mind that the car was not completely copied. When considering the features of the exterior this vehicle the following points can be noted:

  • The model has unique features in appearance.
  • Much attention is paid to the radiator grille. It has the shape of an inverted trapezoid.
  • The changes also affected the head lighting. It was created by modern technologies through the application of LED technology. In general, we can say that the designers tried to focus the attention of everyone around on the head optics.
  • The image is complemented by a massive bumper, which has built-in fog lights. The headlights are highlighted, which makes the car more aggressive.
  • You should also pay attention to the features of the bumper. The unique curves make the bonnet more than just attractive. The curves are designed to increase the streamlining of the body, which improves the stability of the vehicle on the highway.
  • If we look at the car from the side, then we can pay attention to the fact that the model is similar to a sports car. A similar image is characterized by an unusual shape of glasses that emphasize the sporty SUV.
  • The standard equipment includes roof glazing. Due to this, the car looks easy and at ease.
  • Other important point can be called massive wheel arches. They allow the installation of disks, the dimension of which can reach 19 inches. Winter tires may have a larger profile and a smaller disc diameter.

The stern has expressive features. The installed LED filling makes the car more attractive. All other elements correspond to the features of the body: they are massive, have sharp features.

Special attention should be paid to the safety of the vehicle. The use of high-strength steel can significantly increase the reliability and strength of the body. The company's engineers have worked to create a new unique alloy, which has increased strength and low weight.

Technical features

If you believe the statement of the manufacturers, the car will be an example of a combination of quality, comfort and style. At the same time, it is expected that the SUV will be distributed across affordable price. It will appear on the Russian market this year. It will be sold at a fairly democratic price - from 1.3 million rubles. To features technical condition the following points can be:

  • You can choose from diesel or gasoline engines.
  • For the first time, an SUV from a Korean automaker will be fitted with hybrid motor. While accurate information about hybrid plant no, but there is a high probability that the inhabitants of Russia will be able to purchase a car with a similar unit.
  • Diesel engines can have a volume of 2 and 2.2 liters, the power of which is 186 and 202 Horse power respectively. Recently, diesel engines have gained little popularity, as they have a high cost and low reliability.
  • Gasoline engines can have a volume of 2.4 and 3.3 liters, the power of which is 170 and 270 horsepower. These power units have enough high reliability. There is enough power and torque to feel comfortable both in the city and on the highway.

The drive can be full and front, mechanical and automatic transmission. In this case, the installation of new units will not be carried out - all gearboxes were taken from the previous generation.

Occasion: restyling mid-size crossover Kia Sorento Prime

Scene: Petrozavodsk, Russia.

Impression: Kia Sorento Prime in Russia - the car is still young. We started selling it two years ago. In South Korea, where the car is known under the name Sorento (without the prefix Prime), it appeared a little earlier. It's time for an update, which also affected the Russian version.

The updated Sorento Prime, like the pre-reform car, will be sold with us from gasoline engine 2.4 GDI with direct injection fuel (with a capacity of 188 hp) and a 2.2 CRDI diesel engine (200 hp, 441 N. m). But instead of a gasoline engine with a working volume of 3.3 liters, there is now a new 3.5-liter V-shaped six with a capacity of 249 hp. One of the main technical innovations is the 8-speed hydromechanics developed by the Hyundai-Kia concern. She made her debut on the second-generation Cadenza sedan (not for sale in Russia). For the Sorento Prime, the new 8-speed automatic will be available with either a diesel engine or a 3.5-liter gasoline engine. But the younger version 2.4 GDI relies on a 6-speed automatic, however, modernized.

As expected, the restyled car differs from its predecessor in a different form of bumpers. Because of this, the length of the car increased by 20 mm, reaching exactly 4.8 m. The radiator grille has also changed.

The cabin has become more comfortable. The chairs have four upholstery options to choose from. Plus new steering wheel. Now it's four-spoke. There is also an electric steering column position. In the center of the front panel is an eight-inch touch screen, and the music system is from Harman Kardon.





The chassis, as before, is well balanced, so driving is easy and pleasant. diesel operation for idling almost inaudible. As well as drumming pebbles on rear arches. At the driving mode selection system drive mode Select, in addition to the usual Comfort, Eco and Sport, there is another Smart mode. In it, the car adapts to the driver's driving style: if you press the accelerator pedal harder, it will switch to Sport, if you drive more calmly, it will switch to Eco.

With an eight-speed automatic, the crossover has become more economical. After I drove on the asphalt, and then ran through the dirt road while driving diesel machine, glanced at the readings of the trip computer. He flashed average consumption fuel: 8.5 liters per 100 km. Sorento Prime with a 3.5-liter gasoline engine rushes like a hurricane and eats up 16 liters per hundred. For such a powerful big car- good result.

Outlook: prices ... waiting. They will be announced closer to the start of sales, that is, by February. Given that the pre-reform Kia Sorento Prime was quite popular with Russian buyers(for eleven months of 2017, 5482 crossovers were sold, which is 84.5% more than in the same period of 2016), the restyled one will also be in demand.

Grade: the car has become prettier and more economical. As before, you can choose both a five-seater modification of the crossover and a seven-seater. This is a plus. And for those who want to save money, the old, more affordable, five-seater Sorento of the past generation remains on sale.

Details: ZR, 2018, No. 02.

Kia Sorento Prime 2017(Kia Sorento Prime) video review and test drive

Today in our video review - Kia Sorento, or rather Kia review Sorento Prime GT line. Here is her long beautiful name. She has a 3-liter engine, with a V-shaped six-cylinder design. This is very powerful car, which produces 250 horsepower and is equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission gear, which is good.

On the sand, it’s usually not happy when the car is on a robot or a variator, or on similar types of transmission. But an automatic is not worst decision for offroad. Let's see how this 2017 Kia Sorento Prime can conquer obstacles today.

What is in her arsenal

Shoe Kia Sorento 2017 regular tires, which we lowered a bit. The front wheels are up to about 1.6-1.5, and the rear wheels are a little smaller, somewhere up to 1.4. This is necessary in order to increase the contact patch with the road so that the Kia does not sink in mud or sand. It would be possible to lower even more, but we do not have large compressors. And in case of disassembly, it will be very problematic to put it back on.

The tires here are Hankook brand, and this is 100% road tires, no off-road tasks were set for it when it was invented. Its dimension is 235/55 R19. Big size wheels, but the profile allows.

I just want to point out the not very good shape front bumper. Still, it's more of a city car. Not the best for offroad the best option. The bottom of the bumper is unpainted, just black plastic. It is also on the arches. But Kia Sorento 2017 is not particularly afraid of collisions with the ground. There are also thresholds that seem to decently eat up ground clearance, but protect the car from any damage. Ground clearance 180 millimeters. Not some kind of record figure, but quite enough.

Kia Sorento 2017 is considered a full-fledged SUV and no off-road ambition this car does not pursue. But there is a "lock" here. Coupling center lock electronic. That is, you can press the button and it is blocked. There is also a button to turn off the traction control system, which is an important thing. Especially in the sand. Especially with such a powerful engine.

At the back, things are a little better, and in terms of appearance, she is very pleased with the back. High rear bumper, the cut is very loyal, and additionally secures from below spare wheel which is screwed on. That is, in case of contact with the ground, if the Kia Sorento Prime sits backwards, it will sit on this spare tire.

off-road test drive

The first obstacle is a sharp uphill. And here the main task is not to sit down tightly with your belly at the top. Let's go see how we get there. We turn on the lock, and turn off the traction control system, we try to climb. In general, we went. They even stalled a little, made contact with the ground on the ridge, but such traction is good. A lot of people smoke diesels, I think.

Next, let's go to the sand, let's see what she can do there. We drove up the hill without even deactivating any systems. Power is just super enough. That is, the six-cylinder engine does its job. It strikes strongly enough belly, the absence of any serious stock of ground clearance.

Now the second lift. And since there is a lot of power, we will try to drive closer to it and get there without any unnecessary overclocking. The situation is as follows: loose sand under the wheels, a sharp rise with loose sand, no acceleration, all systems are on. Anti-slip enabled rear axle is connected only when slipping the front. Let's go, gas to the floor.

So, here is a small limit we have found. Now we will turn off the anti-slip mode, and now, I think, it will be straight fry. No, it's a little lacking. This machine absorbs some of the power. We turn on the lock and sport mode.

Since there is no off-road mode here, but there is a sport. Sport will help us to break forward more cheerfully. Attempt number three, must drive in. A little bit missing. By the way, I want to note that it is a pleasure to move along a horizontal sandy surface, it rides very easily.

KIA Sorento Prime Big test drive / Big Test Drive

Every review Korean auto industry makes the leading "Big testdrive to state the fact that...

Let's pick up a little more acceleration now, and I'm sure that this time we'll stop by.

In fact, from the trail that Kia leaves behind, it is very clear that there is not enough ground clearance. Because she leaves such a smooth path behind her. It feels like on some all-wheel drive sedan came here.

Now let's try a fresh slide. We did not drive SUVs here. And I think that not a single SUV will come here without overclocking. And off-road vehicles, it seems, climbed here.

So, all systems are activated at us now. We turn off the sport mode so that we don’t suddenly dig in the sand, I’ll even turn on eco and try without any serious overclocking. Way up, we'll see where we'll go.

So, we try to dial a little more accelerator, turn on sport mode and we go. A little lacking, but there is not a very good exit from the top. Now if I accelerate again, I will go there anyway, but I will not do it, because there is not a very beautiful exit there. There is a chance that it will go somewhere else.

loose sand

Let's see how she just rides on loose sand. Let's look at the work of imitation of locks and so on. Now, as you can see, we are gradually creeping forward. I feel exactly how the imitation of locks works. Here it is an ordinary road tire, you do not burrow, but slowly go forward. Let's try to speed up the process a bit.

As you can see, blocking is triggered. So let's not boil the machine. Now let's drive back and see what we have with the prints. This foreign car gets out super easily, it feels like it is driving on smooth asphalt. Let's see what we got.

We don't have contact anywhere. Rides and does not burrow.

Good tires, by the way. For beginner off-roaders, such tires will be even more interesting than some more combat ones, since they do not burrow. You can try to go somewhere, and if you fail, you can go back. Still, let's try to crawl a little further in that direction, let's see what happens. Let's turn a little to the side.

Note that the rear clutch does not overheat, as is often the case on crossovers. So, all four wheels are rowing. Now we are starting to sit on the belly. The blocking simulation system works flawlessly. Moreover, what is most interesting, you can’t hear some kind of crunch, some kind of shocks so incomprehensible. That is, the wheels are seized gradually, loyally enough, the car does not scare you with scary sounds.

In principle, everything, here we passed the difference. We will not go down further yet, we are trying to go back. Great. Excellent cross, and given the initial predisposition of the Kia Sorento 2017 to off-road (she has long base, not very high ground clearance), she climbs very well.

Now we are trying a long ride on loose sand, and climbing a hill. Off now traction control system, and the interaxle lock is on (the clutch is locked) and the sport mode is on. We press the gas to the floor. We slow down in front of the hill and climb up. Easily!

So, for now, let's try to return to the original one, press the gas to the floor. Great! There is simply more than enough power. Rides a little better diesel options With large capacities. Here is a very high hill big very backbone. Let's go and find some smaller hill. Let's leave this one. Let's set up an account. Because, in principle, she calls in. Just a pity to break the car. Now you can press the gas to the floor and hold it, and it will take off right on the hind legs of the ship. But there is a possibility of damage to something. It stands there, as far as I have noticed, a plastic full-time protection.

Kia Sorento 2017 is not designed for some kind of cruel off-road. This can be seen from the beautiful bumpers, constriction leather interior with seat ventilation and so on. In general, the car is specifically urban. So, we found a diagonal. Kia shamelessly warns me that there is something dangerous ahead. Okay, let's try. In principle, it is taken without difficulty.

In fact, her base is very long, and she storms any drops, in terms of hanging, calmly.

Belly, of course, sits down, but does not hang out. Here the difference is very large. It seems to me that I'm lying there with my face on him. Now I'll try again. An imitation of the block is triggered, and slowly rakes up. I will even stop. The lift is really big. A little pressure on the gas, and we are quite easy to climb up.

Conclusion

So, it was a big YouTube offroad test. drive kia Sorento 2017. The car showed itself perfectly. From my personal remarks, I can say: it does not turn off here rear drive, as often happens on crossovers due to overheating of the clutch.

The box also works adequately, the gears are long. That is, the first gear is enough to climb quite high. But, as shown by this Kia review Sorento, there is a small flaw — it's an electronic handbrake. It's not off-road. If you want to stop somewhere at a good slope and turn on the parking, the handbrake is turned on and the car still rolls back, giving a load to the box. And then it's hard enough to pull the lever. That is, a mechanical handbrake is better in this regard. And so there is enough power.

Ground clearance is low, to be honest. It could have been more, a twenty would not hurt here. In principle, with the wheels lowered, it is similar in terms of ground clearance to the usual “puzoterku”. But still, for her patency, I would put hard four. Because she climbs well. Even if it's a belly bump, it's good. The protection here is great, everything is protected, everything is fine.

You can drive this foreign car around the city and go on a picnic. Of course, I would not recommend fishing. But in general - a record.

Specifications

The KIA brand received a pass to the segment premium crossovers in 2015, when the first Sorento Prime appeared, offering the consumer excellent design, driving properties and quality. And at the right price. After update crossover Sorento Prime has become even better: prettier, more modern, more technologically advanced. When the KIA Sorento Prime appeared, its appearance was highly rated by the public. Moreover, the model received a couple of prestigious international design awards. With this in mind, when updating the Sorento Prime, it was decided to limit itself to minimal changes that emphasize the status of the car.

The novelty has changed the front and rear bumpers (due to which the overall length has increased by 20 mm, reaching exactly 4.8 m). New design received main and fog lights, rear lights. And the radiator grille in the corporate style "Tiger Smile" was made according to new technology, which made it more textured. Has Prime become more visually attractive? In my opinion, yes. After all, high style is determined by the details. For the updated KIA Sorento Prime reserved a new "ornament" alloy wheels, 17th, 18th and 19th dimensions. The color scheme of the body has also changed: noble dark brown and dark blue colors appeared in it.

The center console now also has a lodgment for wireless charging mobile devices. Highly impressive new Harman/Kardon premium sound system with proprietary technology surround sound. Perhaps even a music lover will be satisfied.

If we talk about the ergonomics of the front panel, about the quality of its manufacture and about the style, we will have to operate mainly with enthusiastic epithets. As well as about the convenience of the cabin as a whole. The reason for this, for example, can be a flat floor in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe inhabitants of the second row, personal air deflectors for them. As well as a center armrest, window blinds and USB connectors for mobile devices. For third-row passengers, a separate climate control unit is a bonus.

This provides the effect of a “power cell” of the body in the event of an accident, and also improves the torsional rigidity of the body, which has a beneficial effect on handling and comfort. Of course, other elements safe car, such as, for example, an assistant at the exit from the parking lot in reverse, a surround view system with four video cameras, a blind spot monitoring system, etc., are also on top.

System all-wheel drive It has an intelligent action algorithm that provides for operation before the wheels slip, which ensures excellent driving stability. Additional stability in the tread of the updated flagship crossover contributes to the cornering traction control system. It also comes into action before the stabilization system is triggered. And it does not affect the fuel supply. The system controls the distribution of traction and braking forces applied to specific wheels, thereby counteracting skidding.

As in the previous updated version a GT Line package is available, reflecting the owner's personality. TO technical details GT Line includes an original electric power steering design that creates more precise steering responses and more transparent feedback, as well as increased to 18 inches front brake discs, which provides best process braking.

And the most powerful new engine with an increase compared to previous version, working volume. The volume of the most powerful V6 with multipoint injection increased to 3.5 liters, which allowed to reduce speed by maximum power.

As a result, the system that guards fuel economy is ready to activate on demand (when you press the gas), turning the car into a rocket.

The folded third row of seats turns into a flat luggage compartment floor.

In summary, it is worth noting that the former Sorento Prime was good. The current one is even better. As for the prices for the updated KIA Sorento Prime, this is still a secret with seven seals. Government games with excise values ​​and disposal fee do not allow to operate with exact figures. But, according to representatives of KIA, base price at 2.2 million (as well as the cost of other versions), if it changes, it will be insignificant.
