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 2019 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 2019 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 2019 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

In 1994, Kia Motors Philippines was founded under the wing of Columbian Autocar Corporation (CAC). Today, KIA belongs to the leading car brands in the country’s automotive industry with a wide range of dealership network.

The company offers high-quality vehicles to the Filipinos. Some of the most sought-after KIA models in the Philippines are the Sorento, Soul, Rio, Carnival, Picanto, and Sportage.

KIA Motors Corporation was born in 1944, initially as a bicycles and steel tubing manufacturer. During the 1950s, the company focused fully on bicycle production and then entered the truck manufacturing industry in the 1960s.

Not until the 1970s did it start to build the very first automobiles. In the 1990s, due to the impact of the Asian Financial crisis, Kia faced up with bankruptcy but then was rescued by Hyundai Motor Company which owned 51% of Kia’s shares.

KIA Motors is known as the oldest automotive manufacturer in South Korea

Since then, both automakers have gained plenty of fruitful achievements in the motoring industry, not only in their domestic market but on a global scale. With such a long history of development, KIA Motors is known as the oldest automotive manufacturer in South Korea.

Kia is now developing with 32 dealerships in the Philippines

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.
