    Kia Sorento 2013: Diesel real-world economy?

    Kia Kia Advice Kia Sorento Kia Sorento Advice Kia Sorento 2013

    I am looking to buy a MY13 Kia Sorento AWD 2.2-litre diesel 7-seater. What sort of real life fuel economy can I expect to get around town?

    There are so many things that can affect fuel consumption in real life that it’s difficult to precisely predict what you might get. But you can take the claimed fuel consumption figures published by every carmaker as a guide. Kia’s published figures for the car you are considering are: 9.7 L/100 km (urban), 7.3 L/100 km (combined) and 5.9 L/100 km (hwy). If most of your travel is around town, with little highway or freeway driving, I would expect your fuel consumption should be 7.5-8.0 L/100 km. If you do short runs only it will tend to be closer to 9.7 L/100 km, if you’re regularly on the freeway it could be less than the combined figure.
