----------------------------------------------
The Sorento’s redefined exterior design - with sharper lines, high-tech details, and elongated proportions - gives it a more confident and mature presence. Inside, its attractive cabin also introduces premium-quality materials, cutting-edge infotainment technologies, and a stunning new design.
The new Sorento is the first vehicle to be based on Kia’s new-generation midsize SUV platform. Paired with a larger body to maximise cargo and luggage space, the platform ensure the Sorento is one of the most versatile and spacious three-row SUVs on the road.
Sorento electrified for the first time with efficient new hybrid powertrains
Kia’s newest SUV will be available with hybrid power - a first for a Sorento - and buyers will eventually able to choose from hybrid or plug-in hybrid variants.
The Sorento Hybrid is powered by a new ‘Smartstream’ electrified powertrain, pairing a 1.6-litre T-GDi (turbocharged gasoline direct injection) with a 1.49 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery pack and 44.2 kW electric motor. The intelligent packaging of the Sorento’s new platform means the battery pack can be located under the floor, with minimal impact on cabin or luggage space.
Producing 230 ps and 350 Nm torque, this electrified powertrain combines low CO2 emissions with high levels of performance. The new 1.6-litre T-GDi engine features Kia’s new Continuously Variable Valve Duration (CVVD) technology, regulating valve opening time according to driving conditions, instead of operating on a fixed opening time. This boosts performance at low-to-mid engine speeds and enhances fuel efficiency.
Power is sent through the six-speed automatic transmission via a transmission-mounted electrical device, allowing the full power of the engine and motor to be transferred in parallel with minimal loss of energy. The result is immediacy in acceleration response at any speed, with direct access to available battery power at higher speeds.
The Sorento Hybrid will go on-sale in select European markets from launch, with others to follow later in 2020. The new Sorento will also be available as a Plug-in Hybrid variant from late in 2020.
The Sorento’s new four-cylinder 2.2-litre ‘Smartstream’ diesel engine is also available for European customers, producing 202 ps and 440 Nm torque. With a new aluminium block, 19.5 kg lighter than the cast iron block of its predecessor, the new engine is 38.2 kg lighter compared to that found in the third-generation Sorento. Furthermore, it is paired with Kia’s new eight-speed wet double-clutch transmission (8DCT). Designed to offer the smooth shifting characteristics of a conventional automatic, the 8DCT enhances fuel efficiency over a conventional eight-speed automatic, depending on application.
Fuel efficiency and emissions data for the Sorento’s new powertrains will be announced closer to the car’s European on-sale date later in 2020.
Ride and handling
A more enjoyable, satisfying drive and enhanced all-terrain capability
The first-generation Sorento (2002-2009) was based on a ladder-frame chassis, with the second-generation model (2009-2015) - the first monocoque-based Sorento - marking a step change in the car’s on-road behaviour. Now, the new platform represents a similar leap forward, engineered to maximise driving stability in all environments.
The car now delivers an even more assured, comfortable ride and more satisfying, enjoyable driving character than its predecessor, aided by heavily revised fully-independent suspension. Engineers have sought to reduce the effect that road surface imperfections have on the body, and to reduce noise and vibrations through the suspension, while also improving body control and steering responses under cornering. This has been achieved with a series of geometry changes and new components, as well as improvements to the structure of the suspension system. The 35 mm longer wheelbase also contributes to an overall improvement in cruising comfort, while the new bodyshell - with a 4% average increase to tensile strength throughout its structure - also results in lower body vibrations.
New for the fourth generation, the latest Sorento model offers enhanced all-terrain capability over its forebears thanks to a new Terrain Mode. Paired with the optional all-wheel drive system, Terrain Mode makes the Sorento more capable in mud, snow and sand. With each mode selectable from a dial on the centre console, Terrain Mode carefully controls the car’s standard electronic stability control (ESC), as well as the distribution of torque to all four wheels. It also adapts transmission shift times to help the car find and maintain traction in a range of driving environments.

Thank you so much for making this video on my request
What is the build quality in this Sorento, is it good for its price? Thanks!
In my opinion is very good 👍
Kann man nen Phev nicht auch einfsch als Unterstützung fahren? So dass man Bsp nur zuhause nachläd und damit den verbrauch eig besser reduziert? So wie mit nem einfachen HEV
? Ist das nicht effektiver wie teuer auf Arbeit nachzuladen? Oder kann man sich dann lieber gleich nur den einfachen hybrid nehmen?
Wenn fahrst du nur 50km jeder tag es ist besser plug in hybrid 👍
Nice review. I've checked this car by myself and yes it's awesome. A lot of space and it looks as it should from all angles. I'm waiting now for new Tuscon. In my location it will be offered at the beginning of the next year. Regards, Artur

Great car.... I'm un doubt between Sorento and Santa Fe.... which are really differences between them?
Lorenzo both have same technique. The only difference it is design. Go test both and then you can take a decision 👍👍
@@SDADanCars thankssss
Hi! how much was the fuel consumption? Thank you!
If I remember well around 8l but the car was not warm...

How much is it now?
Depend on country
I'm in Africa, I am looking for a used one.
All perfect, but I´m not sure about a 1.6 ltr engine in such a big car? Isn´t that underpowered? They took your attention away from that by giving you video of the side mirror in the front display..
I think the engine it is just fine ....I didn't feel the underpower ....plus you have 7 year guarantee 🙂👍
A brilliant looking car. Love it. It makes my Tucson look so plain! :-)
Andrew the new Tucson will come next week and it is fenomenal 🙂🍻👍
@@SDADanCars That will be interesting to see :-)
