When five seats simply aren't enough, meet the Kia Sorento.
Large, capable and exceptionally versatile, the Sorento sits towards the top of Kia's SUV range and provides genuine seating for seven across three rows.
Its bold exterior design is matched by a spacious, sophisticated interior packed with technology, while a choice of electrified and diesel powertrains means you can select the Sorento that best fits your lifestyle.
Whether you're carrying a full complement of passengers, towing, heading away on a family holiday or simply want the flexibility of a larger SUV, the Sorento is designed to take it all in its stride.
Unlike many modern SUVs, the Sorento doesn't force every driver into the same type of powertrain.
Choose from Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid or Diesel, depending on how and where you drive.
The Sorento Hybrid (HEV) combines a turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor and battery.
The system automatically switches between or combines petrol and electric power as you drive, helping improve efficiency without requiring you to change your routine.
There's no need to plug it in – the hybrid system manages charging automatically while you're driving.
It's an excellent option for drivers who want the benefits of electrification but don't want to regularly connect their car to a charger.
Want to make more of your shorter journeys using electric power?
The Sorento Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) combines a petrol engine with a larger rechargeable battery and electric motor.
Charge it regularly at home or work and you can use electric power for shorter everyday journeys, while the petrol engine remains available when you need to travel further.
For families who can charge regularly but still want the freedom and flexibility of a petrol engine for long-distance travel, the Sorento PHEV provides a useful middle ground.
For some drivers, diesel still makes a lot of sense.
If you regularly cover longer distances, carry heavier loads or need your Sorento for towing, the 2.2-litre CRDi diesel provides strong torque and effortless long-distance performance.
Paired with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, it's a particularly capable choice for drivers whose lifestyle demands more from their SUV.
The Sorento has been designed as a genuine seven-seat SUV rather than a five-seater with a couple of occasional seats squeezed into the boot.
Three rows provide flexible accommodation for family and friends, while the second and third rows can be configured to prioritise passengers or luggage depending on the journey.
When all seven seats aren't required, fold the third row away to create considerably more luggage space.
Need even more carrying capacity? Fold the second row too and the Sorento becomes an impressively versatile load carrier.
It's a car designed for all those occasions when you suddenly discover that apparently everybody – and everything they own – is coming with you.
The Sorento's exterior makes no attempt to hide its capabilities.
Strong proportions, distinctive vertical lighting and confident detailing give it substantial road presence, while Kia's latest design language keeps the overall appearance modern and sophisticated.
Its upright shape isn't purely about appearance either – it helps create the generous interior space that makes the Sorento such a useful family vehicle.
Depending on specification, larger alloy wheels and distinctive exterior detailing add an even more premium finish.
Inside, the Sorento combines practicality with a noticeably premium feel.
The wide dashboard incorporates Kia's latest digital technology, while carefully positioned controls keep important functions easy to access.
Depending on specification, features include:
With three rows of seating and plenty of useful storage throughout the cabin, there's space for both passengers and everything they bring with them.

Towing capacity varies according to engine and powertrain, so our team can help you choose the correct Sorento based on what you need to tow.
For regular heavy towing and long-distance use, the diesel model can be particularly appealing thanks to its strong torque delivery.
The best Sorento depends largely on the journeys you make.

You want improved efficiency without having to plug your car in.
Choose Sorento Plug-in Hybrid if:
You can charge regularly and want to make shorter everyday journeys using electric power while retaining petrol flexibility.

More and more motorists are choosing to drive electric and hybrid vehicles. As such, you’ll find plenty of charging points available across the UK, whether you’re in town, at work, or on the motorway.
Charging your electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) at home is simple. You can either use a standard three-pin socket, or invest in a wallbox. The wallbox is a much faster solution, cutting charge times down by several hours. And with manufacturer deals or government incentives often available on wallboxes, it’s a cost-effective option too.
Many workplaces are starting to provide rapid-charging facilities for employees’ vehicles. Indeed, government help is available for businesses, such as the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS), which is provided by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEZ). If your workplace doesn’t yet have rapid charging, you can plug into a three-pin socket.
