Kia Sorento volume. Kia Sorento: Specifications, Photos, Modifications

Korean brand continues to please the quality and good technical characteristics. The model Kia Sorento first saw the world back in 2002, but the popularity and demand of the model always remained at height.

Of course, the constant desire of Koreans for improvement played a major role in this.

So, today there are already three generations of this medium sized crossover. Although it seems a bit strange to speak "the medium-sized" oh.

Indeed, in some modifications KIA SORENTO there is indeed additional standard seats of the third row. And, although climbing on the third row will not be easy, car enthusiasts note that you can travel "on the gallery" is very and very comfortable.

All generations Kia Sorento

As we said, at the moment there are three generations of this car.

For the first time, Kia Motors presented this model in 2002, in Chicago. The car immediately was appreciated, especially since the market was not filled with crossovers.

New Kia immediately went on sale, which also explains its popularity - still fresh in memory of the Chicago Motor Show and the brilliant Korean novelty, instantly produced in the market, showed good levels of sales.

Apparently, success inspired developers, since the first generation of Kia Sorento managed to survive two serious restyling:

• 2006 - increased the power of the car and seriously updated the exterior;
• 2008 - the radiator grille has completely changed.

The last update occurred a year before the company introduced the second generation of Kia Sorento. Perhaps management decided to increase interest in the model and prepare the soil for the expected premiere.

The debut of the second generation Kia Sorento took place in Seoul, in 2009. The car really experienced cardinal changes:

• the bomb appeared;
• there was a refusal of the framework;
• a new 197 liter engine on diesel fuel was installed;
• in the new version, the torque amounted to 435 N.M.

In addition, the new crossover KIA has become much spacious, which contributed to the increased overall dimensions, which was repeatedly noted by observers.

The second generation of Kia Sorento also received recognition, which confirms a significant amount of auto brand on the roads of the whole world. But Koreans were not going, and do not seem to be going, they will remain.

Four years later, the car survived restyling. So, in 2013, the crossover began to be made with three versions of upgraded engines, two of which worked on diesel fuel. Power rose, but. In general, the options looked like this:

• gasoline, 2.4 liters, with a capacity of 175 horses;
• diesel for two liters (150 hp) and by 2.3 liters, the power of the latter was almost two hundred horses, namely 197 hp

Such specifications for urban, in general, the crossover was really impressive. In addition, the description of the restyling version of the Kia Sorento 2013 model year included as well:

• new exterior and interior design (in particular, updated headlamps, radiator grille, framing by chrome plastic of some elements, an increase in air ducts and a bumper, which has acquired reflective cataphoths);
• improved auto handling;
• the presence of 19 inches light alloy disks as an option;
• improve the comfort and safety of the cabin.

Staying loyal, Kia Sorento manufacturers have released the third generation of the car literally in a year, after the impressive restyling 2013.

In 2014, in Paris, during the auto show, Kia Sorrento was represented, relating to the third generation of this model. For the whole world, the car was labeled as Kia Sorrento UM, but in Russia it is represented as Kia Sorrento Prime.

Prime literally fascinated car enthusiasts. First, abundance of complete sets. Among similar crossovers, KIA Sorrento is distinguished by a large number of functions in the basic configuration. No other crossover can boast such a set. Photo of the salon, the volume of the trunk and a large selection of body color - all this allowed the car to become a really popular crossover in a variety of countries where Russia is no exception. In addition, dimensions have changed:

• length 4759.96 mm;
• height 1685 mm;
• 1890 mm width;
• road clearance of 185 mm;
• wheelbase 2780 mm.

However, the creators of Kia were not going to relax on the laurels. The next restyling took place literally in a year or two after the Paris Debut.

Kia Sorento 2015-2016 model year

Kia Sorrento 2016 Model Year is a serious step forward. The car has become much spacious, by elongation. In general, the dimensions of Sorrento 2016 look like this:

• in length, the car added 95 mm, and a total of 4780 mm;
• the height has not changed 1685 mm;
• the width remained without change - 1890 mm;
• wheelbase 2780 mm.

Even in the photo it is clear that the new model KIA became aggressive and modern. Sorento Prime has also become more maneuverable and stable. Although, early models had good performance.

Sorento Prime 2016 is made in five grafts:

• L is a new model of this year. Now it is she who is basic for all Sorento series. The compactation includes a lot of all nicensities, such as automatic gearbox for six steps, a high-quality audio system for six speakers of which can be controlled by connecting an external device. Wheel discs are also attached from an accommodated material, and the seats are dismissed to the touch cloth;
• LX is the second most popular equipment. Previously considered basic, however, the crisis contributes its own adjustments. It has all the features of the previous option, plus the touch screen of the KIA UVO audio system, the front heated seats, the ergonomic roof hatch and the presence of the front fog. The proposed engine - V6 Lambda by 3.3 liters, the car can be all-wheel drive or only with front-wheel drive;
• EX - In this configuration, leather seats are basic, which is already nice. The possibility of heating seats, beautiful cast wheeled wheels with black inserts, fog - all this is standard for this option. In EX Premium Package, the Infinity sound system appears, in combination with the usual KIA UVO. And due to the presence of a third row of seats, the car is very spacious. Standard machine is equipped with a two-liter turbocharged engine I4. However, the V6 Lambda also remains an option available. Power in 240 horses makes Kia Sorrento EX a very unusual crossover;
• SX - Today this equipment is the latter before the highest level. It includes a smart key, an infinity sound system, heated, leather in the cabin, and so much. Basic motor - V6, but you can choose from option proposals. Included an excellent navigation system plus touch screen. Probably, in the future, this option will take the "top" set;
• Limited is the highest level of prestige, premium class, the maximum possible basic kit. Previously, called SX Limited. Includes a salon, separated by Nappa - the best car skin of the world, the front seats have heated and ventilation, the rear - only heated. Luxurious hatch that enjoy the panorama of the surroundings. The engine can be selected: turbocharged i4 or V6. Previously, this package of KIA was called SX Limited and her fans should be hurried, because in 2017 this name will become part of the automotive history.

As can be seen, even in the simplest equipment, this crossover has something to surprise and please the buyer.

Specifications Kia Sorrento 2016

Among the innovations should be noted how the car platform has greatly improved. We add to this the appearance of an independent suspension - and we get a car, which brings only pleasure. Indeed, the level of driving comfort increased very significantly.

The gearbox can be both mechanical and automatic, the only general - all the same six steps of gears.

Pleases the ability to select the engine. In any configuration, the right of choice remains from the following options:

• two-liter turbocharged diesel with 185 horses;
• head-fuel unit for 2.2 liters and 200 hp respectively;
• installation on gasoline, whose volume is 2.4 liters, and power is 188 horses.

In addition, the machine can be all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive.

In principle, the technical characteristics of the new Kia Sorento 2016 are at the height and give freedom of action to fans of improvements.

New Kia interior

Photo of the cabin of the new model KIA is something. The interior survived the cardinal changes. Significantly improved functional potential, beautiful design, overall ergonomics of the cabin - all of this part of the updated appearance of Kia Sorento 2016.

To begin with, the interior can accommodate up to seven people. True, the third row of seats is an additional option, however, even if you refuse it, you still have a very impressive trunk. By the way, the shape of the seats has changed, due to which even a long trip will become a very comfortable pastime.

The control panel has greatly changed - now it is more reminiscent of the cabin of the aircraft than about the car. The steering wheel became the largest, more convenient and acquired more smooth forms.

Some attention deserves sound insulation - the noise of the motor is practically not heard in the cabin, which will certainly appreciate the parents of young children.

Also delivers the joy and ability to adjust the rear seats: they can move and even fully develop, which increases the luggage compartment trip.

Benefits and Disadvantages Kia Sorento 2016

Of course, the car is not only technical specifications, or dimensions, or fuel consumption. This driver is aware that each machine has a character, its positive and negative sides. As for the Kia Sorento 2016 model year, the advantages in it are clearly more than the flaws that are very relative.

Among the positive moments:

• Beautiful design;
• A large selection of complete sets and the richness of each of them;
• Increased salon space;
• The trunk that opens after five seconds, if you just stand next to the keys in hand;
• The mass of the newest chips in the audio system.

In fact, a list of advantages can be continued for quite a long time. The disadvantages include only two points:

• weak ground clearance with good torque and large number of horses;
• a serious surge of the cost relative to the previous generation.

The exact cost of KIA Sorento 2016 is not yet yet determined, but experts are already predicted by the difference in half a million rubles, at a minimum. Is it worth a novelty of such money - this is what questions are asked by visitors of autoforums.

However, looking at the new model on the Internet, Kia Sorento 2016 will surely find its buyers as it was always.

Kia Sorento, 2012

I bought Kia Sorento in June 2012. Immediately went a lot, now smaller. No, not because of the fact that in the car disappointed, just such a job, in one word settled. Well, it is not about that. What can I say about this car - the car is excellent. The most important thing is the ratio of price, quality, efficiency and dynamic characteristics. Before that, many cars tested, well, she is far from the first. In six months of operation, Kia Sorento did not break anything, nothing creaks and changed nothing. She in my "Foreign Ministry" configuration, on the 17th tires - moderately rigid, and in moderation is stable. On the highway, the amateur quickly go - the maximum accelerates to 200 km / h, I think I would go and more. The main thing is that it takes such a speed quite in a short plot. What to talk about the flow rate - our town is not big, a lot of intersections, so - in economy mode 10 l / 100 km, in non-economic - 12/100. The car, who b, that I did not say - the track. So on the highway at a speed of 100-110 on the "cruise" - 5.9-6.3l \\ 100 km, at a speed of 120-140 7.4-7.8, at a speed of 160-170 8.5 liters / 100 km. I think more and nothing to talk.

Dignity : motor, chassis, sizes, price, four-wheel drive, 6-speed automatic.

disadvantages : So far I can not say anything, though, I would like soft plastic panel.

Alexander, Ivanovo.

Kia Sorento, 2013

Purchased in October 2012, Complection "Suite", leather interior. At first sight, I liked the car, the good although the hard plastic of the cabin, a variety of accompanying "causes", not a rattling salon, the skin is cool with the not heated cabin. The interior is very quickly heated, a good climate control, did not like it that the cabin filter is poorly filtered, i.e. The smell is not completely taken. I really liked the secret departments in the luggage compartment, folding mirrors, a large impline boxing, a plant with a button. The angle of turning Kia Sorento is unexpectedly small (compared to Mondeo 3). On the highway, he keeps the road very well, from "fur" does not fuse, although more than 110 have not yet traveled, a big road clearance, a good permeability for the "PARTNER". Kia Sorento is inexpensive. The machine is 6-mortar, works silently. While the car is pleased.

Dignity : reliable, inexpensive exploitation, high ground clearance, a large comfortable trunk, inappreciation, CASCO 3.2% of the cost.

disadvantages : Fuel consumption 14.5 liters. Putting a pant pants when leaving the car.

Alexander, Smolensk

Kia Sorento, 2012

Kia Sorento The most qualitative and most "packaged" from the fellow in this class for this money. Spring exploitation period - summer did not cause any problems - only pleasant emotions. Inside Kia Sorento, everything for a person - sledging from "Old Santa" you understand that ten years of progress was not in vain. Outside, too, no surprises - "rings" in any weather in dirt and into the water. You can not travel to Kia Sorento, but you need, it's not scary to turn with him from the asphalt to the forest without fearing that they get stuck. The family is very pleased with our "Syrika", and its capacity allows you to take with you everything you need and even more. Now winter begins, and the first snowfalls did not find me surprise.

Dignity : Comfort and safety for the driver and passengers. Sustainability, both on the high-speed highway and off-road. Excellent handling and visibility. That is quite inexpensive. 92th gasoline.

disadvantages : Fuel consumption does not match specifications.

Kia Sorento, 2016

For a year and a half, the Kia Sorento ownership ran almost 58 thousand kilometers. Pleased wear brake pads. The front pads "lived" to 56 thousand. And this is an excellent result - I think. At Subaru Forester changed them every 20 thousand, and the price tags are very different on them. Xenon at each could have been corrected. Over time, the beam of light goes down. I did not find out why. For 56 thousand replaced the right rear bearing hub under warranty. The service said - this is often found on this model. Periodically began to "appeal" an audio system - started a car, and only speakers play in the door of the second row of seats. It was treated simply - turned off the car and after a couple of minutes I started again. Panoramic hatch did not encrypt never. Although the car and in Astrakhan climbed, and in the Archangels forests, federal routes, where there is no asphalt ride. In general, Panorama is a gorgeous thing. For some reason, many are afraid, but I really liked it. Petrol 62 liters. In my opinion - very small. From the "light bulb" to the "light bulb" was driving a maximum of 425 km. Polished only the 92nd. The consumption of gasoline - in the city of 11.7 liters per hundred, and on the highway, with a cruise 120-130 km / h consumption was 11.2 liters. In general, I am stranged that there is almost no difference. Again, the service said that in the city I had a very small consumption, 12.5 is the norm for Kia Sorento with 2.4 engines. I have a 5-seater version, instead of a third row, a comfortable closed huge niche for the necessary things. She calmly laid at the same time: three 4 liter canisters with "non-freezing", a first-line, compressor, cable, fire extinguisher, 10 liter canister, and still on trifles. Closed with a lid, and the trunk is empty. None of the car has not seen such a large "sample". The harsh suspension is harsh, and on bad roads it makes it easy. Full alarm and invisible access worked on excellent. As a result, according to my general impressions - not a bad car. Practical and reliable crossover with its advantages and minuses.

Dignity : Practicality. Road capacity. Reliability.

disadvantages : Little benzobac. Hard suspension.

Kia Sorento, 2014

Good day. Maybe someone will find useful in my writer. When choosing a car, I had several mandatory requirements - a four-wheel drive, mechanics (well, I got used to her, and it is necessary to buck in winter), a spacious trunk, well, it is desirable climate. Why Kia Sorento, before that there was a "sporting", took a used 2-year-old, departure 2 years - the car was satisfied with the car, and Kia still gives 5 years warranty (and this is valid for the buyer), in general, such a complete set It was not ordered and waited 3 months. It cost 1.25 million. When it came - at first it seemed somehow not very, but after washing and polishing the mood was better. I own 1 year old, mileage 35000, the longest route Smolensk - Gelendzhik-Smolensk (August) 3800 km. The car behaved perfectly, the climate at height, went to the four-way (place for the eyes). Kia Sorento satisfied. In the trunk with the unfolded seat, the bath is 170 cm, the sink with a pedestal and a wall cabinet in the bathroom, and the place remains. In the trunk, the second floor, where everything is cleaned. What I will add over time, so it is "Shumkov" in a circle, but this is already so, "Shumka" and so quite. Consumption on the highway at 120 km - 10.5 liters, the city is 11.5 liters, in winter 12-13 liters. I recommend as a family car.

Dignity : Spacious salon. Huge trunk. Controllability. Safety.

disadvantages : Weak LCP.

Nikolay, Smolensk

Kia Sorento, 2017

So, Kia Sorento is 2.4 liters. 175 hp, luxury equipment. About breakdowns and repairs to talk early. On the pros and cons. Pros - the size of the cabin and especially the trunk. The fact that I have 1/3 of the trunk in my "Sportsage" is placed in special compartments between the wheel and the main luggage compartment. The trunk for me is just a huge. The salon is also more pleasant and more, in the "Sports" when two were sitting in front of the front, on the central armrest, there are no hands together, they will not be free, the places went here. The brakes - in Kia Sorento is better, possibly due to the fact that there are two cylinders in front here on the block. Additional chips appeared, which I did not have before (there was a minimum equipment) - automatic folding mirrors, rear view camera, heated zone of wipers, leather, tape recorder with sensory display). Of the minuses - the dimensions during parking, but since I live the area, and not in Moscow, not critical. Shumka is also not so hot, better than in a "sporty", but I expected more. Feeling the device Fire, lacked the speakers, made chip tuning, became more relieved, about 200 hp, it is especially felt when overclocking up to hundreds. It so happened that I was raised at work, a service "Camry" appeared, 277 hp, I go every day by the wheel. Honestly, Kia Sorento is more pleasant, yes "Camry" turning far away, and everything else in Kia Sorento is more comfortable. While there is a mileage of about 4 thousand

Dignity : Sizes of the cabin and trunk. Good brakes. Pleasant in management.

disadvantages : Noise insulation is not the best. Dimensions (parking).

Kia Sorento, 2015

In 2015, I bought Kia Sorento to replace Rio. For the first time, sowing behind the wheel after a compact sedan immediately remembered the driving school, where I handed over to the category S. But then I was used to it. A comfortable and spacious car for a family of 4 people. Purchased to drive around the city and summer primers. With its function copes "perfectly", but after chip tuning. Before him, the car was tight. While I was waiting for the TCP, rode on the submenu Kia Sorento, who kindly provided a car dealership. Rerep on his, was a little disappointed: on overtakers, the engine screamed like a wounded hippo, but did not want to accelerate. After "Chipovka" - the car seemed to be replaced. Overclocking is more confident, the box also began to work clearer. In general, I recommend. Some more deficiencies that for some reason are manifested only in frosts: while the cabin does not warm the sound from the radio - as from the cheapest smartphone. With frosts, the Activ Hood (active hood) control lamp lights up, but when warming goes out. Another little disadvantage is quite thick in front of the roof racks. Breaks visibility. Pedestrians can not be noticed. The overall impression is a good enough reliable car for a comfortable distance to long distances, both along the highway and in the primer of varying degrees of murdration.

Dignity : The main plus is the price / equipment ratio. Reliable. Pretty dynamic (but only after flashing).

disadvantages : Thick front roof racks.

Maxim, St. Petersburg

The exterior of the crossover complies with corporate brand trends. The radiator lattice has become less aggressive, chromium was reduced in its design, now in design the main focus is made on optics. Its inner drawing is adjusted, stressed ribbons of running lights. The niches of the fog headlamps are moderate in size and are located vertically. On some cars, it does not appear: the light of their xenon headlights can be configured to the too high beam. Correct this will help the first maintenance of Kia Sorento.

The modern shape of the rear lamps and the recycled tail bumper saved the body from heavyweight. To coupled with the thoughtful position of the rear racks and the drop-down lines of the roof this was refreshing the silhouette of the car; Update definitely benefited. In addition, the body has a small coefficient of aerodynamic resistance (0.38) and created using high-quality steel. Its lightweight design has stiffness increased by 18% - special superproof elements absorb the energy of the impact, protect Sorento from tipping and guarantee its passengers maximum safety. Improve security indicators according to the EURO NCAP technique allowed the new Active Hood system (active hood), in a collision, protecting pedestrians from the impact of the windshield.

In Kia Sorento, the salon is very spacious - there is enough space on the second row of seats for convenient accommodation of three passengers, the distance to the back of the front armchairs increased by 30 cm. The seats are pleased with the comfortable fit and abundance of electrically regulators. There is also a third row, designed for two people, however, not very tall. If there is no need for additional places, they can be folded, and in Kia Sorento the trunk will increase more than halved - from 530 to 1081 liters. By continuing the transformation and lowering the back of the seats of the second row, it will be possible to fit even more baggage in Kia Sorento. The only thing that surprises is even in the most expensive configuration there is no mechanism for automatic closure of the fifth door. In addition, the quality of materials in the design of the cabin is still not the best, but more soft plastic was used in the decoration, the leather upholstery of the KP lever and the steering wheel became more pleasant. There was heated seats with an intensity adjustment, and on top versions - also ventilation. In general, logical and necessary modifications.

The central console has become more practical, there is no overload with the buttons, which has already become a rarity in modern cars. The Kia Sorento automatic transmission selector moves in a straight line, and not by "snake", as in the previous version of the crossover. In expensive versions of equipping on the control panel, a 7-inch touchscreen display is installed, on which the image from the rear view camera, navigation and multimedia control interface are displayed. The instrument shield is unified with that. Instead of speedometer, a full-color liquid crystal display, displaying speed readings and data on the operation of the vehicle nodes, is used.

More details revised the creators of SORENTO. Specifications and off-road crossover potential. The car received an improved suspension. Its schemes remained standard: in front - two-way, rear - five-dimensional. Replaced subframes and longitudinal levers, new dampers are applied with improved characteristics, springs are reconfigured. Such modernization, coupled with an increase in the rut and the understatement of the clearance, has a positive effect on manageability. On the road Kia demonstrates the smoothness, longitudinal and transverse swing during riding. Sorento calmly overcomes primer, without becoming vibrations or suspension breakdowns.

Achieve a similar behavior at rough terrain allowed the system of full drive with a viscous coupling that distributes torque on demand. By default, the front wheels are activated, but with the loss of adhesion with the road, hanging the wheels of the Viscounts passes up to 50% of the moment and the rear axle joins the work. You can connect it and manually by activating the "LOCK" mode. At Kia Sorento, the drive can be the front, but to move away from the asphalt coating on the mono-drive car is unlikely to succeed. In general, not counting the system of assistance during the descent, this is the entire off-road arsenal. The standard scheme for the car assembled not on the frame, the efficiency and accuracy of its work is enough for light off-road. Therefore, there are cons. On Off-Round, the car is unpredictable behaves in turns. Sorento has to be slowed down in those devices with which any other parckarter would cope with much greater speed. Otherwise, he seeks to increase the rotation radius. With a disconnected stabilization system, the car behaves at all as a rear-wheel drive, which can confuse an inexperienced driver. But this is only observed on off-road. In the city of Kia Sorento, whose technical specifications are designed for a quiet ride, moves much more confident.

Crossover is available on sale with two types of motors. In our country, Kia Sorento are presented, the engines of which are not equipped with the particulate filters and are created according to EURO-4 standard, while on the European market - only engines that meet Euro-5 eco-5. But "our" motors are better in dynamics. The Sorento diesel engine is available only in combination with the drive on both axis. It is equipped with a turbine capable of changing the trajectory and piezoelectric nozzles, so in Kia Sorento fuel consumption is significantly reduced. Diesel has a volume of 2.2 liters and reaches 197 hp Due to turbocharging. Already in the range of 1800-2400 rpm, 436 Nm of the moment are available, until the first "hundred" cars accelerates for 9.9 seconds. At the same time in the combined mode in Kia Sorento, diesel consumes 6.6 l / 100 km and does not lose the pickup, regardless of fuel quality. In a pair with an automatic box, even with small revisions, a confident thrust is felt. True, the response rate of the crossover response to pressing the accelerator has changed: a sharp acceleration characteristic of the precursor changed by a small papillance. But the delay is minimal, the drive of the gas pedal is informative and acceleration increases adequately by pressing.

The gasoline version is equipped with a motor volume of 2.4 liters, with a capacity of 192 hp A moment in 242 nm is achieved at 3750 rpm. On such a Kia Sorento, the engine is presented in modifications with the immediate injection of GDI. This motor has not in a hurry for a long time to supply to Russia, because for Kia Sorento gasoline should be of good quality, which in our country could not be guaranteed, but now the gamma aggregates have been replenished with such an engine. Gasoline Sorento works more productively with a 6-speed mechanical KP. Acceleration up to 100 km / h occupies 11 seconds, and fuel consumption in a mixed cycle is no more than 8.8 liters. However, Eco mode, which allows to reduce the fuel consumption in Kia Sorento, is available only with automatic transmission.

Meanwhile, it is pleasant to surprise the smoothness of switching gear in the box, but the steering is not as informative as I would like. Calculate the angle to which you need to turn the steering wheel for maneuver, is already in the process of its execution. The reason is the electric powerful, so fond of the manufacturer. A little to correct driving impression helps the Flex Steer system that can vary the effort on the steering wheel. Its three modes - Sport, Normal and Comfort - allow each driver to set up the steering wheel individually. In addition, in comparison with the outgoing version, the renovated Sorento reduced the gear ratio - the steering wheel can not be twisted so active.

Restyling Sorento, of course, went up, but the price is only adjusted for the cost of added options. The initial equipment is still too simple, at least in the crossover of the gasoline version. The basic diesel modification is richer, however, by paying for a car one and a half million rubles, I want to see more. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the Prestige and Premium configuration. The first is supplemented by a set of necessary smallest things like duplicate rotation pointers on the rear-view mirrors and backlight in the thresholds. It also provides additional adjustments of the driver's seat and a Russified navigation system. The second has all the listed, and besides this, it is richer on air conditioning, a panoramic roof and a system of automatic alignment of the body position.

The overall characteristic of Kia Sorento leaves a positive impression. Moreover, if you closely look at the segment of medium-sized SUV, you can understand that the crossover is not so much competitors. Obviously, the European analogues of Sorento still does not reach quality. And he does not suit the role of a serious conqueror of off-road. Therefore, Japanese and individual French classmates become equal to rivals. In Sorento, characteristics, ideology and possibilities are similar to. However, Korean is still more economical, more dynamic and more comfortable. In addition, the maintenance of Kia Sorento will require less costs. His advantages - the wealth of functional equipment, decent behavior in different modes and the non-domesticity of the diesel engine to the quality of fuel. The main disadvantage is the lack of ability to change the suspension settings. But every car has its own shortcomings. In this case, they are justified by a good compromise: a large crossover is offered to the buyer, quite frisky and comfortable for little money.

Russian buyers Kia Sorento second generation (XM) was available in several levels of equipment, including the possibility of purchasing the simplest front-wheel drive modification of SORENTO in the basic version with a gasoline engine. Even this version of the name "Classic", with front-wheel drive and manual gear, is quite well equipped: alloy wheels, rear fog lights, steering column with telescopic and vertical adjustments, multi-tissue, tissue upholstery, separating armrests in front and rear, Electropacket (glass, mirrors, central locking), air conditioning with salon filter, CD / MP3 audio system, on-board computer. More expensive complete sets will be offered the front fog lights, rails, the steering wheel in the leather braid, heated the front seats, climate control. Functions as a 6.5-inch touch screen with a rear review camera and navigation, starting the engine with a button, panoramic glass hatch and a panoramic roof are available in the top vessel.

For Europe and Russia, the second generation KIA SORENTO has been supplied with two power units: 2,4-liter gasoline, which has a power reserve in 175 hp (225 nm, at 3750 rpm), and a 197-strong turbodiesel of 2.2 liters, which issues an impressive torque of 421 nm (at 1800 rpm). The diesel version is distinguished by a decent acceleration - 9.6 seconds per sprint up to 100 km / h. The gasoline version will be needed at least 10.5 seconds. Transmission for SORENTO - mechanical or automatic 6-speed. Consumption for gasoline motor - 7.1-8.8 l / 100 km, for diesel - 6.6-7.4 l / 100 km. The fuel tank accommodates 70 liters.

In front of Kia Sorento II, an independent macpherson suspension is installed, the rear suspension is now multi-dimensional. The car has the following dimensions: 4.69 m in length and 1.89 m wide, height - 1.71 m. Compared to the predecessor, the internal space is optimized: the reserve of the legs has increased, the volume of the luggage compartment has increased - up to 525 liters, decreased Loading height. The wheelbase is only a bit inferior to the previous generation: 2700 mm (10 mm less). The diameter of the reversal is 10.9 m. Front and back disc brakes are installed, providing a better slowdown, while the default braking system is equipped with "helpers" ABS, EBD, BAS.

The second generation Kia Sorento has a safe body and chassis with superproof elements, damping the energy of the blow. As part of the equipment of all complete sets - front airbags (passenger - with deactivation function), belts with pretensioners, fastening of children's chairs. As further equipment, an electronic course stability system, side cushions and security curtains are added. As an option, features such as radar cruise control, parking assistance system and other features. The presence of a transmission with automatically connected full-wheel drive in itself provides increased safety in complex road conditions. In the crash test, the Euroncap car received five points.
