good old Kia Sorento in 2018 continues to go to dealers. Although in many markets, with the appearance of a new generation of Sorento, the old generation crossover disappeared from sale, we sell two generations of cars at once. True, the newer one is called Kia Sorento Prime. Demanded equipment and reasonable prices allow you to find buyers for two Kia Sorento at the same time.
The second generation Sorento, which can be bought in Russia, appeared in 2009. Minor restyling took place in 2013. When creating the car, the Hyundai Santa Fe platform was used. The model was delayed in the Russian market due to stable, albeit small, demand.
Exterior Soreno outdated to say the least. All the same, the model has been on the assembly line for almost 10 years. But if you're looking for a big crossover without much pretension to fancy design, then the car will do. See photos of the model in our gallery.

Kia Sorento II generation restyling 2012-present
In 2012, Kia Sorento went through a facelift. To be frank, the look of the car has become more modern, so that the model, which in 2002 (the beginning of the Sorento production) seemed like a gray mouse and was easily lost in the stream, has become a completely recognizable car with its own style and handwriting.
The front has become more powerful and prettier. The headlights have become slightly smaller, the “foglights” have become rectangular, the bumper has also received a new shape. As for the stern, the tasteless lanterns were replaced by new and very expressive “feet”. And LED elements were also implanted into the optics - apparently, the designers pay tribute to fashion.
Engines and transmission Kia Sorento
There are only 2 motors for cars. Not much. But the Koreans did not “stuff” the car with budget “engines”, so the choice should be made between 2.2 liter diesel And "petrol tank" with a volume of 2.4 liters. In general, the "tractor" looks preferable. He has 197 "horses" against 174 liters. With. at petrol. This also affects the dynamics - 9.7-9.9 seconds. for a "solar-eating" motor (depending on the gearbox) versus 10.5-11.5 sec. at petrol. Well, in terms of traction, the advantage of a diesel engine is simply overwhelming - 421 Nm of torque versus 225 Nm. Besides, the peak torque of the 2.2-liter "engine" is much lower(thanks to turbocharging), which can also be written in the benefits column. Yes and His fuel consumption is 2 liters lower. So the reason for choosing this motor is obvious.
Naturally, it cannot be said that the gasoline unit is bad, it just looks very pale against the background of its diesel counterpart. Interestingly, front-wheel drive is not provided for a 2.2-liter power unit, while it can be selected with a gasoline engine. As for the gearbox, for any “heart” of the car, you can choose a “mechanics” with 6 steps, or 6-band "automatic".
Regarding reviews - they are divided into 2 camps. Someone prefers to find fault with the car, someone praises it. How many people, so many opinions. But in that stiff suspension almost all car owners are the same.
Salon hasn't changed much. Only a slightly different color of the dashboard, the absence of a central well in the “tidy”, and also the silver edging of the air vents catches the eye. The steering wheel has changed a bit.
Options and equipment Kia Sorento
In the basic petrol version Koreans clearly saved on security- only pillows (front and side, as well as curtains). No electronic systems. Front-wheel drive, manual transmission, music, air conditioning, adjustable steering wheel and power accessories - a little for a car for 1 million 79 thousand 900 rubles.
Diesel with "mechanics" is much more expensive- 1 349 900 rubles. but it is also much more generously equipped - there is also HHC, HDC and ESP, all-wheel drive, dual-zone climate control, light and rain sensors, an adjustable multi-wheel and much more.
And here the most expensive modification with diesel, automatic transmission and all-wheel drive already estimated at 1,669,900 rubles. But it boasts a leather interior, headlight washer, xenon, LEDs, ventilated seats, navigation, a rearview camera and a host of other options.
Summary
In general, the updated Kia Sorento looks very good, but buying it in the basic version with a gasoline engine and “underdrive” is reasonable only with a strictly limited budget.
New Kia Sorento 2016 model year decided to position as another car. The next generation of a large Korean crossover suddenly received the Prime prefix and the maximum number of options even in the basic version. The manufacturer decided to make a premium SUV out of the Kia Sorento in a new body.
Restyling to call the new Sorento language does not turn. In fact, this is a new car that has retained its concept of a monocoque body, all-wheel drive capabilities and a spacious practical interior. Along with the increased dimensions, a new design appeared.
Appearance Sorento 2016 received new optics, bumpers, an enlarged grille, fog lights. With all the changes, the kinship of the exterior of cars of different generations is felt. Remained a recognizable silhouette, the architecture of building the design of the machine. Further photos of the new Korean SUV.

Salon Sorento 2016 will delight you with very high quality materials and filling. The database already has leather seats, a touch screen in the center console, which displays data from both the navigator and the rear view camera. The driver's seat has the ability to adjust in height, and the rear seats can be moved horizontally. In the 7-seat version, third-row passengers even have climate control available. The steering wheel is adjustable in various directions and has a lot of auxiliary keys for controlling multimedia and other functions. See photos of the interior of the new Sorento below.

Trunk of the new Sorento became significantly larger and allowed even the third row of seats to be placed there. But in addition to the 7-seater version, there is also a 5-seater saloon. According to the manufacturer, if you add up all the seats in the 5-seat version, then the loading volume will be equal to 2082 liters (according to SAE) or 1732 liters (according to VDA). Despite the various methods of calculating the volume, believe me, the volume is very impressive.

In addition to increasing the size in the length of the body of the Sorento Prime, the wheelbase of the SUV has also grown. Four-wheel drive comes in conjunction with a 6-band automatic, recall that the old generation of Sorento has front-wheel drive 2WD modifications. The novelty will please with a mass of electronic systems, such as assistants to help en climbs and descents, a traction control system in corners or a trailer stability control system. Customers are offered two motors to choose from. This is a diesel and petrol V6. Let's talk about power units separately.
Diesel Kia Sorento 2.2 liters produces 200 hp. (at a torque of 441 Nm). Supercharging allows a 16-valve 4-cylinder engine to accelerate a fairly heavy car to the first hundred in 9.6 seconds, while consuming an average of less than 8 liters. And in the city this figure is slightly more than 10 liters of diesel fuel.
Petrol Sorento V6 volume of 3.3 liters (24 valves) of course more dynamic. With a power of 250 horsepower, acceleration to hundreds takes 8.2 seconds. However, you have to pay for speed and dynamics with increased fuel consumption. The fuel consumption of a gasoline Sorento in urban conditions is approaching 15 liters, and on the highway the SUV eats more than 8.
The suspension of the load-bearing body of the new Sorento is still independent, spring, MacPherson type, with a front anti-roll bar. And lever-spring, with telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers, with a rear anti-roll bar. Actually, the absence of a frame and a continuous bridge may not be a plus on the roads, but for a large comfortable crossover, such a device is forgivable. Mass-dimensional characteristics of the Sorento in the new body further.

A detailed video review of a new generation SUV. The test drive of the Sorento took place without the top-end gasoline engine, which has appeared just now. We watch a video with a 2.2 liter diesel engine.
Prices and equipment Kia Sorento 2016 model year
The price of the new Sorento in Russia is no secret. The version with a 2.2-liter diesel engine with all-wheel drive and a 6-speed hydromechanical automatic will cost 2 129 900 rubles. The 3.3 liter petrol engine makes the car a little more expensive 2 269 900 rubles. But if you pay attention, then in principle the basic configurations with different engines have a similar package of options, except for one detail. The initial version with a diesel engine has a 5-seater saloon, all other configurations are already 7-seater.
A logical question arises why the new generation of Sorento in Russia has a prefix to the name - Prime? The reason is quite simple, the manufacturer decided to sell both the old generation of the SUV and the new one at the same time. In addition to the name of the machine, models and price ranges differ. In the new body, the Kia Sorento is much more expensive and is offered only in all-wheel drive, automatic, with climate and cruise control, a touch screen, a rear-view camera ... in general, the car is stuffed even in the base very seriously.
Well, dear friends, the time is coming for the European debut of the new KIA Sorento! The car will be shown from day to day in Paris. We have already expressed our conflicting impressions of the appearance of the new Sorento and positively assessed its interior. Now it's time to understand the crossover technique in detail.
Specifications
The new KIA Sorento was predicted to have a hybrid power plant. Until it came true. Under the hood of the car, one of three, quite ordinary, engines is installed. One of them is gasoline. Its volume is 2.4 liters, and its power is 188 horsepower. The ultimate thrust of 241 Nm is reached at 4,000 rpm. In comparison with its predecessor, the increase in returns was 13 "horses", torque - 16 "Newtons". The new gasoline Sorento with a 6-speed "mechanics" develops a top speed of 202 km / h and accelerates from standstill to hundreds in 10.5 seconds. With automatic transmission, it turns out slower by 7 km / h and 0.1 seconds, respectively.
Diesels are represented by engines of 2.0 and 2.2 liters. The first works only in tandem with a 6-speed "automatic". Motor power - 185 forces, thrust - as much as 402 Nm, but in a relatively small range - from 1,750 to 2,750 rpm. Even better is the situation with the 2.2-liter diesel. It has 39 Nm more thrust, but in the same range. And the return is equal to 200 forces. Against the background of its predecessor, the increase in power is small, only 3 forces. But "Newtons" became 20 more. Unfortunately, KIA does not yet indicate the fuel consumption indicators of the new Sorento. Let's wait for his arrival in Russia, and we'll see.
Now about the suspension. Fundamentally, it has not changed, but there are some improvements on the rear axle. For example, from now on, shock absorbers are mounted vertically and behind the axle, and enlarged subframe mounting bushings are also used. These measures, combined with the increased wheelbase, are designed to give the new Sorento more stability.
The steering of the new KIA Sorento is completely new, with electric power steering. For greater steering responsiveness, the electric motor that drives the system was removed from the steering column and transplanted to the steering rack.
Let's move on to the consideration of the body of the new Kia Sorento. The percentage of super-strong hot-forming steel has increased from 4.1 to 10.1. This made it possible to strengthen, in particular, the front and middle window pillars. In addition, if the old Sorento had 24.1% ultra-strong steels, now it is 52.7%. It is used, among other things, to increase the rigidity of the wheel arches and the rear.
Trunk
In the five-seater version, the trunk volume of the new Sorento has not changed - it is equal to 660 liters. With the second row seats folded down, you get 1,732 liters. With the seven-seat variant, things are a little different. For example, the second row seats can be adjusted in the longitudinal position. Thus, the minimum volume of the trunk, behind the second row, is 605 liters. For the third - 142 liters. The maximum volume is 1,662 liters.
Please note that even the third row of seats on the sides come with separate air ducts for climate control.
Complete set
The new Kia Sorento can be equipped with adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, all-round visibility and lane departure warning. In general, almost a complete set of active safety systems characteristic of the modern auto industry.
Preliminary price and start of sales
We are waiting for the new KIA Sorento to Russia by the spring of 2015! The car is promising. Compared to the previous Sorento, he really took a decent step forward. We hope that the starting price will not step up like that and will remain within the limits of 1,300,000 rubles.

Today we will talk about the new generation of KIA Sorento 2016-2017, which was presented to the public at the Paris Motor Show in 2015. The manufacturer is developing very quickly and often releases new cars, as Russian buyers buy models of this brand well.
This is the third generation of the crossover, the last two generations sold well and it was decided to release a new version. Since this is one of the most popular cars of the brand, we will tell you about it in detail and perhaps start with the exterior.
Design
The manufacturer has changed the exterior very much, but the similarity with the previous generation can still be traced. Also, if you look closely, you can find similarities with. The muzzle received a narrow, partially aggressive LED optics, which is connected to a huge chrome grille. The grille has chrome dots on the inside, similar to some Mercedes-Benz models.
On the massive bumper there are plastic inserts that protect the bumper and talk about the off-road capabilities of the car. Also inserted into the bumper are really large fog lights, which in the case of fog do their job perfectly.
The profile of the KIA Sorento 2017 model immediately makes it clear how big the car is. On this side, the plastic protection is also noticeable. Slightly inflated wheel arches and deep stamping in the lower part of the body will delight. The window has a chrome frame around it, and the handles for opening the doors are also made of polished aluminum. In principle, the car has good wheels, and behind them you can notice powerful brakes.
Behind, everything is a little simpler, but still looks quite brutal. Here, large headlights with LED filling are used, which shine excellent and look good. The trunk lid is simple in shape, in the upper part it has a large thin spoiler, on which there is an LED brake light repeater. On the massive bumper there is plastic protection and large reflectors.

All three engines comply with Euro 6 standards and are paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The car has four-wheel drive, which allows you to show good off-road data.
The suspension characteristics are good for off-road, the car is equipped with a fully independent suspension. Behind it is multi-link, and in front it is racks.
