New Kia Sorento offers design and value for money
KIA Motors South Africa has expanded
its Sorento line-up with the introduction
of the new Sorento 2.2 CRDI LS.
The new derivative complements the
range’s previous entry point, the Sorento
2.4 LS, by offering the same award-winning
design, superior ride comfort, and
class-leading quality in a package that
now also excels in power, frugality and
exceptional value for money.
Originally launched at the 2014 Paris
Motor Show, and introduced to South
Africa in July 2015, the latest Sorento
represents a new level for KIA vehicles.
With its smooth, swept-back profile and
multiple award-winning design, the
Sorento spearheaded KIA’s unwavering
drive for quality. In fact, the KIA Sorento
was one of the first KIA models to consistently
rank at the top of its segment for
perceived quality in multiple global markets,
won the people’s vote in the 2015
Middle East Car of the Year competition,
and was also voted a finalist in the 2015
WesBank / SAGMJ Car of the Year competition.
“The Sorento remains a key model for KIA
in South Africa due to our affinity for the
SUV class of vehicles,” says David Sieff,
Marketing Director, KIA Motors South
Africa. “Representing KIA’s next step up
the quality and refinement ladder, it remains
one of our most awarded models
globally thanks to its unique combination
of space, practicality and refinement, all
factors that make owning and driving the
Sorento a pleasure.”
The new Sorento 2.2 CRDi LS model
bolsters the Sorento 2.4 LS model’s
strengths by combining vast practicality
and functionality with the increased power,
performance and fuel efficiency of
KIA’s renowned 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine,
and the convenience of a smooth
shifting 6-speed automatic transmission.
The model is ideal for growing families,
as well as those with active lifestyles
who value fuss-free motoring without
compromising on space or comfort.
KIA’s much-loved 2,2-litre ‘R’ turbodiesel
features the brand’s fourth-generation

fuel-injection system for greater fuel
economy, performance and engine response,
while simultaneously reducing
engine noise. An exhaust gas recirculation
cooler promotes recirculation of
clean, cold, low-pressure exhaust gas to
reduce nitrogen oxide emissions and
improve fuel efficiency, while an electronic
swirl control valve in the intake manifold
further reduces emissions by more
carefully controlling the intake of oxygen
to the combustion chamber.
As with all other Sorento models, the
Sorento 2.2 CRDi LS features a fully
independent suspension with MacPherson
struts at the front and KIA’s multi-link
system, with larger bushes and larger
shock absorbers mounted vertically behind
the axle line, at the rear. This suspension
setup, together with the
Sorento’s long wheelbase, ensures a
compliant ride with a more progressive
response to bumps in the road, as well
as improved body control.
Additionally, the Sorento’s driving characteristics
can also be matched to prevailing
driving conditions, thanks to the
Drive Mode Select system, activated via
a switch on the centre console. ‘Normal’
mode is best suited for day-to-day driving,
while ‘Eco’ mode reprograms the
shift points of the automatic transmission
to achieve optimum fuel economy. Finally,
‘Sport’ mode allows the gearbox to
delay shifting and reduces the level of
steering assistance for a sportier feel.
The Sorento 2.2 CRDi LS offers seating
for five passengers, as well as a range of
comfort and convenience features. An
LCD screen, located between two analogue
dials in the centre of the instrument
binnacle, displays all major trip
computer information such as vehicle
range and average and instant fuel consumption
in one place. It also features a
Radio / CD / MP3 player, multimedia
ports for USB and AUX-in connections,
and six speakers around the cabin. Rear
seats feature a 40:20:40 split folding
function, as well as a vast 660-litre cargo
space – big enough for the entire family’s
