2021 Kia Sorento vs 2023

What's the difference?

Much like the wider Sorento range, the GT-Line petrol is an absolute knockout and therefore should be on top of the shopping list of any family looking for a seven-seater.

In fact, the Sorento GT-Line petrol’s brilliant combination of good looks, cutting-edge technology, seven-seat versatility and overall driving comfort is worthy of Olympic gold.

While it might be hard to look past the lack of third-row curtain airbags, families that don’t need seven seats full-time should be able to, and they’ll be rewarded for doing so.

The Kia Sorento HEV GT-Line AWD is a mouthful to say but the all-round experience is light-hearted and practical. The amenities inside are really good and definitely make it feel top-spec. The driving experience is a bit mixed for me to truly love it as the everyday car but families wanting comfort won’t be disappointed. I would still be inclined to consider the bigger Carnival, considering the price but the hybrid powertrain makes it fairly fuel efficient and that makes up for the driving.

My son really enjoyed the amenities in his row and felt comfortable.
