kia sorento sport review

The Kia Sorento Sport is the sensible-middle trim that pretends it’s posh, and mostly gets away with it. It seats seven without drama, with a third row that’s fine for kids and a boot that doesn’t vanish the moment you look at it. Ride comfort is relaxed, handling tidy for a big bus, and road noise civil unless you go full knobbly-tyre hero.

The diesel is the torquier, thriftier pick for long hauls and towing, while the petrol is smoother but thirstier around town. Sport trim brings the must-haves: a quality infotainment setup, solid safety kit (AEB, lane-keep, adaptive cruise) and sensible ergonomics. You miss a few luxuries and flash, but you keep the value—and that’s the clever bit.
