2017 Kia Sorento GT Line REVIEW | A New Range-Topping Model For Kia’s Competent Large Seven-Seat SUV
Kia has boosted the lineup of its Sorento seven-seat SUV with the addition of a new range-topping GT-Line model. Priced at $58,490 (plus on road costs), the latest Sorento variant takes square aim at the similarly-named Mazda CX-9 GT and Hyundai Santa Fe SR.
For family buyers, the Kia Sorento GT-Line delivers a while lot of car for your coin with plenty of luxury and technology included. In fact, short of a higher-priced German, large SUVs don’t come any better than this.

OVERVIEW
The GT-Line eclipses the Platinum grade as the range-topping Kia Sorento model. At $58,490 (plus on-road costs) it is $1900 more than the Platinum but stands-out with 19-inch chrome-finish alloy wheels, stainless steel side steps, red brake calipers, LED ‘ice cube’ fog lights, red leather interior and paddle shifters for the six-speed automatic transmission. Autonomous Emergency Braking is included in the GT-Line and has been added to the Platinum model.
