Pros and cons of the new KIA Sorento 2020

But this is not as serious as the 8-step preselective "robot"used in conjunction with it. In Russia, they are wary of such transmissions ("robots", variators) and the company's choice in favor of this motor-transmission scheme does not inspire confidence yet. After all, KIA could quite use the same 2.5-GDI and 8-speed "automatic" as on the K5 business sedan.

Another disadvantage is also associated with the diesel unit, because only a system for selecting driving modes is available for it - Terrain Mode Select. Both gasoline engines are in the span, despite the presence of all-wheel drive.

KIA Motors cars have always been distinguished by a good price-equipment ratio. And Sorento, as always, did not disappoint, offering a maximum of options for the D-SUV class in the database. The owner has access to R17 alloy wheels, two-zone climate control, LED head optics, a rear-view camera and cruise control. An infotainment system with an 8-inch screen and 7 speakers is responsible for the media part. Marketers did not forget about the Russian winters, having equipped the basic crossover with heated front seats, steering wheel and washer nozzles.
