The GT-Line sits at the top of the Kia Sorento range with its list price of $60,070 for the petrol variant and $63,070 for the diesel version.

Coming standard on the GT-Line are 20-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers, Nappa leather seats (heated front and second row), a 10.25-inch display and also sat nav, dual-zone climate, proximity key with push-button start, power tailgate, privacy glass, LED tail-lights and remote engine start. There’s also a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, mood lighting, 12-speaker Bose sound system, head-up display, wireless phone charger and a panoramic sunroof.

As with the previous Sorento there’s a choice of a 3.5-litre petrol V6 or a turbo-diesel four-cylinder. Essentially, they are the same engines from the previous model and the outputs are almost unchanged with the diesel making 148kW/440Nm, while the petrol produces 206kW/336Nm.

All petrol variants are front-wheel drive, while diesel versions are all-wheel drive.

The Kia Sorento has yet to be crash tested, but it would be shocking if this new-gen SUV does not score the maximum five-star ANCAP rating, when the results come out.

All grades come with AEB with pedestrian and cyclist detection, rear cross-traffic alert and blind spot collision avoidance and then the GT-Line also has blind spot view monitor which shows the view behind you on whichever side you’re indicating towards.

Richard Berry
Senior Journalist
Richard had wanted to be an astrophysicist since he was a small child. He was so determined that he made it through two years of a physics degree, despite zero mathematical ability. Unable to build a laser in an exam and failing to solve the theoretical challenge of keeping a satellite in orbit, his professor noted the success Richard was enjoying in the drama and writing courses he had been doing on the side. Even though Richard couldn’t see how a degree in story-telling and pretending would ever get him a job, he completed one anyway. Richard has since been a best-selling author and a journalist for 20 years, writing about science, music, finance, cars, TV, art, film, cars, theatre, architecture, food, and cars. He also really likes cars, and has owned an HQ ute, Citroen 2CV, XW Falcon, CV8 Monaro and currently, a 1951 Ford Tudor. A husband and dad, Richard’s hobbies also include astronomy.
