New Kia Sorento: 2015 Price And Features For Australia

Kia’s all-new third-generation seven-seat Sorento SUV, revealed in August last year, is now on sale in Australia.

Bigger, better and safer than ever before, the new Sorento brings new tech, more space, and higher prices across the board.

Getting into a brand-new Sorento will cost you $40,990 plus on-roads, marking a $2000 increase to bring Kia’s SUV face-to-face with the new Toyota Kluger.

From the middle of the range, the new $45,990 SLi petrol, $49,490 SLi diesel and $55,990 Platinum diesel are $4500 pricier than their predecessors - but far more affordable than the Kluger’s petrol-only $53,990 GXL and $63,520 Grande models.

Kia Australia’s Chief Operating Officer, Damien Meredith, said today that the Sorento has improved dramatically with this new model, particularly in refinement, ride and handling.

“As with all models we introduce into Australia there has been extensive localisation work done for the Sorento,” Mr Meredith said.

“With hundreds of man-hours and thousands of kilometres invested, the outcomes are, in this case, particularly pleasing.”
