The Kia Sorento has long been known for its practicality. Available in Aurora black pearl, imperial bronze, metal stream, platinum graphite, silky silver, and snow-white pearl colors, as well as 2WD and 4WD variants, the third-generation Sorento stays true to its hard-working practicality label.

Only this time, it looks fresher, more stylish, more competitive, and more refined.

Its exterior boasts sophistication with the help of its European-style lining, 3D diamond-patterned tiger-nose grille, power tailgate, and alloy wheels. Of course, the Kia Sorento 2020 is not just all about looks and style! Kia also made sure of its durability by using approximately 52.70% of AHSS or Advanced High Strength Steel around its body.

If that was not enough, once you go inside the seven-seater SUV, you will be met by well-structured, contoured, and lined seats from the first to the third row. It can accommodate at most seven individuals, depending on body type.

The wrap-around dashboard extending to the trims of the door is loaded with an infotainment system that has a seven-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth connectivity capabilities. As such, you can connect it to and sync it with your phone.

You will also find controls for the air conditioning system that produces cool air through the vehicle’s front and rear vents, making sure the driver and all passengers are comfortable during humid days.

The cabin inside the Kia Sorento 2020 also has a mixed finishing of wood grain, soft-to-touch leather, and satin chrome. Additionally, it has power windows for more convenience and comfort, as well as USB ports for plugging in your devices.

III. Kia Sorento 2020 Philippines: To buy or not to buy?

As one of the most affordable SUVs available in the Philippines, most Filipino families would likely consider the Kia Sorento. Add that to the overview of what it offers, which Philkotse discussed earlier, then you might have included it on your list already. With that being said, it is worth looking at its benefits and drawbacks, as well as its specs.

The very first thing you’d love about the Kia Sorento once you enter and sit in the comfortable driver and passenger seats. Both have been ergonomically designed and have enough legroom as well as space for movement. However, such cannot be expected from the second and third rows.

The seats are not as ergonomically designed and somewhat stiff as compared to the first-row seats. Additionally, for the third-row, there is not much legroom, especially when the second-row seats are moved backward or inclined. Likewise, the third-row seats are quite slim, making the area more suited for children.

Cargo space is also quite problematic. Although it can be extended once the third-row seats are folded, when it comes to a family trip, it might not be enough. Nonetheless, there are plenty of compartments where both you and your passengers and stow away small and personal items!

Kia Sorento brings the smooth and accurate driving experience

On another note, once you start driving you would notice how smooth and accurate the steering wheel and gear are. Add that to the efficient blockage of background noises and wind sound if the windows are fully closed!

For you to know how you’re doing on the road, Kia Sorento presents you with clear information on speed, fuel level, and more. All controls are also easily accessible by the driver, so safety is reassured while driving and controlling simultaneously.

The infotainment system is also worth mentioning since it is full packed of advanced technology such as Android Auto and Bluetooth. Similarly, the interface is intuitive, so you don’t have to be a tech expert to use it.

The most impressive feature we would like to mention is the Kia Sorento’s fuel consumption. When driving on a highway, the vehicle works at approximately 25 mpg while in a busy city and town streets, it will work at 19 mpg.

IV. About Kia Philippines

Established in 1944 as the Kyungsung Precision Industry, the now 2nd largest automobile manufacturer initially made bicycles. In 1952, they then changed their name to Kia Industries. Later in 1957, they made Honda licensed motorcycles and eventually cars in 1974. In 1995, Kia sold a record 24,740 cars. This of course was the result of their expansion to the United States in the 90’s.

During the Asian Financial crisis in 1997, Kia was hit hard. What saved them though is another Korean car manufacturer by the name of Hyundai. And alas, both of these companies survived by exchanging ownership with Hyundai acquiring around 51% of Kia. In turn, Kia in the present owns around 22 Hyundai Motor subsidiaries.

Kia is now developing with 32 dealerships in the Philippines

In the Philippines, Kia was brought in by the Columbian Autocar Corporation, otherwise known as CAC. In 2018 however, the Ayala Group will be acquiring 60% of the company. Nevertheless, CAC, and by extension Kia made cars, have shown to be selling well in the Philippines.

Today, Kia Philippines’ model line-up consists of the Sportage, the Grand Carnival, Picanto, Sorento, Rio, Soluto, Stinger, Forte, and several commercial purpose vehicles. For more details about every single Kia model, check out our Kia car review section.

Kia started its operation in our country in 1994. Thanks to the support from Columbian Autocar Corporation (CAC) – the exclusive distributor of Kia Motors Philippines, the Korean automaker has quickly become a familiar brand to many Pinoy customers with the sales success of the Kia Pride.
