120 Series |
This is a brief comparison between the Prado and the new 2 generation 2010 Kia Sorrento. I put this page up so that you can compare purely for personal interest reasons. Kia has finally released the new generation of the Sorrento. It is quite different from the original version and much better targeted in the market. It's logical rivals are the 7 seat Holden Captiva or what ever they call it else where, Ford Territory and even the Toyota Kluger. The new Sorrento even comes in 2WD or part time 4WD options! The Sorrento is now an urban bias 4WD with a completely new monocoque body and brings together a host of styling clues from other Kia and indeed Toyota, Honda, Holden, Suzuki and even Lexus. It is quite a good looking car - in a conservative way. You wouldn't pick it as South Korean model let alone a Kia based on its past model designs. Note that the Sorrento is a smaller car than the Prado and
not technically comparable in size only purpose. |
The updated interior again mimics existing manufacturers with similarities to Mazda. On the whole better materials make it a nicer place to be in. The range of engines includes a LPG version (or gas) powered engine. If this version makes it to Australia it should at least be a decent seller. More details as it becomes available! So if you like the current Kia Sorrento check out your local dealer before they run out of the existing model! KIA claims to have sold over 900,000 of them since the initial launch! Note that specifications will change according to
the trim models available and additional or less accessories.
You should check the official Kia website for your country for
the most up to date information. |
