The Sorento GT-Line sits at the top of the seven-seat SUV line-up and the standard gear and interior appointments are like that of a premium European car.

This grade includes 20-inch alloy wheels, quilted Nappa leather-appointed seats, mood lighting, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats, a head-up display, a premium sound system, a wireless charger and a digital rearview mirror. 

The 2024 facelift introduces an EV9-like exterior makeover, new curved multimedia and driver display, and a modernised dash and console, as well as improvements to ride and handling.

As with all grades it’s available with a 3.5-litre V6 petrol (2WD), or a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel (AWD), and while the latter will set you back an extra $3000 over the petrol, it’s the pick of the non-hybrid grades.

All Sorentos have a solid list of standard safety gear that includes auto emergency braking with a forward collision warning and vehicle, pedestrian, cyclist and junction detection, lane-keep assist, lane-follow assist, blind-spot collision assist, safe exit warning, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, a driver attention alert and a rear occupant alert.

Managing Editor

Calling out the make and model of every single car he saw as a toddler might have challenged his parents’ patience, but it was clearly a starting point for Tim Nicholson’s journey into automotive journalism. Tim launched the program, Fender Bender, on community radio station JOY 94.9 during completion of his Master of Arts (Media and Communications). This led to an entry role at industry publication GoAuto, before eventually taking the role of Managing Editor. A stint as RACV’s Motoring Editor – including being an Australia’s Best Cars judge – provided a different perspective to automotive media, before leading him to CarsGuide where he started as a Contributing Journalist in September 2021, and transitioned to Senior Editor in April 2022, before becoming Managing Editor in December 2022.
