Detailed analysis of the KIA Sorento Concept 2.2 CRDi 2WD · 200 CV (2018-2019)
General description
The 2018 KIA Sorento presents itself as a statement of intent: a large, spacious, and versatile SUV, designed for families who do not compromise on comfort or capacity. With its robust 200 HP diesel engine, this Sorento promises to be a tireless travel companion, capable of devouring kilometers with admirable solvency and an interior space that feels like a second home.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel of the Sorento is an experience of power and control. The 2.2-liter diesel engine pushes with forceful strength from low revs, making the 1874 kg weight feel surprisingly agile. The acceleration is linear and vigorous, conveying great confidence in overtaking. Its poise on the road is exceptional, with a suspension that filters out road irregularities with a smoothness that invites long journeys, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and confidence.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2018 Sorento radiates an imposing and elegant presence. Its lines are fluid yet muscular, with a 'tiger-nose' grille that defines its character and headlights that give it a serious and sophisticated look. Inside, space is the real star. The feeling of spaciousness is immediate, with well-fitted materials and a design oriented towards functionality and comfort for its up to seven occupants. It is a cabin designed for living, where every detail is designed to make life on board easier and more pleasant.
Technology and features
In its Concept version, the Sorento focuses on the essentials without neglecting basic connectivity. Although it doesn't dazzle with gigantic screens or latest-generation assistants, it provides what is necessary for daily life. It includes a functional infotainment system, cruise control, and safety features that ensure protection. The technology here does not seek to overwhelm, but to serve as silent and effective support, like the Stop & Start system that contributes to more contained consumption.
Competition
In the competitive seven-seater SUV segment, the Sorento faced titans like its sibling, the Hyundai Santa Fe, with which it shares a platform. Other significant rivals were the Peugeot 5008, which stood out for its avant-garde interior design, the Skoda Kodiaq, a benchmark in practicality and smart solutions, and the Nissan X-Trail, another pillar of the market. Against them, the Sorento played the card of balance between power, space, and an unbeatable warranty.
Conclusion
The 2018 KIA Sorento is much more than just a family vehicle; it is a refuge on wheels. Its combination of a powerful and reliable engine, a cavernous interior, and superb ride comfort make it an extraordinarily logical and at the same time emotional choice. It is the perfect choice for those who value space, safety, and the peace of mind of knowing they have a car capable of taking them anywhere with the whole family, without drama and with a smile on their face.
