One word comes to mind when I look at the Kia Sorento: Sentinel.
Its towering presence, along with its formidable stature, hits you in the eyes. The pictures do not do it justice there s just a different air when you re in the presence of this seven-seater turbocharged diesel beast of a sports utility vehicle (SUV).
Ranging from $164,999 for the SX to $184,999 for the top trim, GT Tech, the Sorento is not the cheapest. But how does it perform?
Formidable facade
It stands tall at 1.7 metres upon 18-inch wheels (19-inch for the GT Tech), with a menacing piano-black front grill in a honeycomb pattern. The slivers of silver accents are barely noticeable from afar, adding to its ferocity.
