The Sorento is the mothership of Kia’s line-up. A big, seven-seater SUV which during the past decade has won over Aussie families for its spaciousness and practicality, its safety tech and the way it drives, while being great value for money.
Now the new-generation model has arrived looking leaner and meaner than the old Sorento. So, has it lost any of the charms which made it a winner, or has it only got better?

That's a stereotype that's quickly being washed away. In today's time, German cars have relatively similar build quality to Korean car manufacturers as well as Lexus, a Japanese brand.

@csamela1987 3 жыл бұрын

@Jack Wood Nowadays, many of the German cars especially Mercedes and BMW are consistently ranked at the top for highest annual maintenance costs. That means they're in the shop getting fixed a lot especially after several years of ownership. They're simply not as well made or long lasting like their older versions back in the late 80s/90s/early 00's. Albert Biermann who was former VP of BMW's M line is now in charge of R&D at Hyundai/KIA and was responsible for the Stinger and the N line Veloster. The head of their design department used to work for Bentley hence the reason why the quality of materials inside have improved drastically. Koreans finally wised up and hired the European competition to spice up their vehicles and it's working...very well judging by their recent sales uptick.

No tech, other than self driving, is really that complex in the grand scheme. The fact that for some reason luxury brands feel it is okay to charge an extra 2-3K for a 360 camera is just because "we are luxury, so we charge w.e we want"

Korean companies are doing great these days. Japanese were great in the 80s 90s and 2000s but not anymore. The Korean manufacturers are absolutely outperforming the old Japanese in many ways. I wasn't the biggest fan of the Korean products before but seriously who is still going for Sony these days when Samsung and LG does so much better in every aspects. Talking about the cars.. Kia, Hyundai and Genesis is far more innovative than Toyata, Mazda, Nissan, and Lexus these days.

Picked up our GT Line diesel yesterday. 100% agree with the review. It is a great car, loads of tech, great cameras, drives well, seems a little thirsty (getting 9.5km/l in my first day driving around the city), loads of room for us. I drive an AMG GLC43 to and from work. Kia is certainly making it hard to justify buying another Mercedes, BMW or Audi from a quality, cost, warranty and package perspective (albeit I can't give up that GLC43 engine!). Very happy with this car after the first 24 hours.
