  • The Kia Sorento, now under the care of Dinamikjaya, the new distributors for the Kia brand, comes in gasoline and diesel versions, also with options of 6 or seven seats, 2WD for the 2.5 gasoline version, and 6 seater with AWD for the Diesel and Gasoline versions.
    The simplified interpretation says there is
    1) 2.5 lit gasoline 7 seater, 2WD,
    2) 2.5 liter gasoline engone with 6 seats and AWD
    3) 2.2 Diesel 6 seats and AWD.
    So which one would I choose?
    We have taken all three up the moubtain - watch the video, and see for yourself.

    I have the GT line diesel Sorento in Australia. It is almost 2 years old now with 55,000 kms. I love this car so much. There is nothing about this car I wish it had. I have tested the autonomous ability of the car with me alone in it. I put something on the steering wheel to fool the car I had my hand on it. It drove for 90kms by itself at 110kms/h along the express way. It does rely heavily on the quality of the centre and side markings/lines of the road. I consistently get over 900kms (939 - 979) range from a tank of fuel, either town driving or highway. I always had V6 petrol cars before this diesel. Wow, I wished I had the diesel many years ago. Better fuel economy and much punchier driving. Great torque from the engine, even towing 1 ton in a trailer. I fitted a dongle and now have wireless Android auto.

      A great share. Thank you for your input. However, do keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. The steering assist relies very heavily on the lines as you said, and turns off when it cannot read: we need the infrasture to be 100 percent before venturing into autonomous driving.

    Currently owning 2015 Santa Fe Diesel … already satisfied with its performance, so effortless to pick up the pace, going uphills with no sweat. I appreciate Hyundai/Kia continuing 2.2 diesel engine in their cars… judging from the video I can see how much refined the Kia Sorento is.
    Thanks for the video uncle! 👍🏻👍🏻

    Even Some Korean Cars Brand Haters Say Kia Sorento Is Expensive Not Worthy But For Me It Is Very Worth For Money Even More Expensive Than Japan Because Korean Cars Have More Reliable And Looks More Solid And Premium When Handling.👍🏻

    I am from Sri Lanka and must be of your age. I have an older 2.2 AWD Diesel model. Can you remember how often you said "good car'' and "nice". Those expressions said everything about this car. I also felt the power of the car the way you were driving. Often I drive fast but as not as you especially when taking corners. Thank you for this superb video. It was quite an exhilarating driving experience throughout.👍👍👍👍👍

    Sistem safety Kia/Hyundai semakin advance, Kia global price sudah naik lebih 17%.
    Smooth engine diesel 2.2T x bising teruk bila layan bukit.
    Carnival full tank can go maximum 1.2Kkm I think sorento can go long distance 1Kkm.

    • @YSKhongDriving
      @YSKhongDriving  2 місяці тому +1

      Buy what you need. If you need a lower operating cost, then that is the more important factor.
      If you can afford the Carnival, then go for it.
      Enjoyment is more important, so if you can afford it, go for it.
