Kia Sorento
The Sorento midsize crossover was completely redesigned two years ago. There are no major changes to report for 2023. In addition to naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines, Kia offers hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. The latter can travel up to 51 km on pure battery power. It combines a turbocharged 1.6-litre engine with a 67kW (90 hp) electric motor for a combined output of 261 horsepower. The Sorento continues to be a high-value pick for families.
