It soaks out most lumps and speed bumps with a firm but comfortable ride and it handles reasonably well; while it is not by any means sporty to drive it is stable at speed and corners without rolling too much.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And Safety?<\/strong>\u00a0There is no reason to fret about safety as the Kia Sorento has been awarded the maximum five-star crash safety rating by Euro NCAP. It scored highly in all four areas \u00a0( Adult , Child , Pedestrian \u00a0and Safety Assist and comes equipped with a \u00a0wealth of safety technologies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about fuel economy? <\/strong>Kia has worked hard to keep fuel consumption and emissions down in the new model and the results are impressive. \u00a0Manual models have combined economy of 5.7 litres per 100 (49.5mpg) \u00a0with CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions of only 149g\/km, while the corresponding figures for the automatic are 6.5 litres per 100 (43.4mpg) and 172g\/km.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Options? <\/strong>If five seats is all you need then the entry level \u00a0EX Sorento is the one to choose at \u20ac38,995. However, the one most likely to be the best seller of the range is the Platinum version with seven seats at \u20ac43,995. \u00a0It\u2019s generously equipped for the price trumping many rivals with 17\u201d alloys, rear privacy glass ,super vision instrument cluster and 7\u201d Sat Nav with reversing camera all as standard. Plump for the Platinum version and you get extras such as panoramic sunroof, Xenon lights, \u00a0leather and heated (front and 2<sup>nd<\/sup> row\u00a0 rear ) seats, heated steering wheel, 8 way power adjustable driver\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12094\" style=\"width: 435px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Kia-Sorento-main3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12094\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12094\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Kia-Sorento-main3.jpg\" alt=\"The boot can now swallow up to 600 litres\" width=\"425\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Kia-Sorento-main3.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Kia-Sorento-main3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Kia-Sorento-main3-321x214.jpg 321w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Kia-Sorento-main3-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The boot can now swallow up to 600 litres<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Will it break the bank? \u00a0<\/strong>You shouldn&#8217;t have to worry about breaking down or it needing costly repairs, as Kia is known to build reliable cars backed by their reassuring seven year \u00a0warranty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Verdict?<\/strong> The new\u00a0Sorento strikes a really good balance between comfort, functionality and style.
