Kia Sorento
This mid-size SUV has undergone a facelift this year, and the whole line looks great! Buyers can choose from a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine or a robust 3.5-litre V6. Gone is the Sorento’s independent chassis, but it remains sufficiently strong while the all-wheel drive is more sophisticated. Also of note is the excellent and comfortable passenger compartment that features a third row of seats.
