2013 Kia Sorento starts from $37,490

The popular Korean-made Kia Sorento has been updated for the 2013 model year with a sharper look, an all new bodyshell, more variants and improvements to the interior.


The new Kia Sorento may appear as just a facelift from the outside, but the Koreans have updated the car's bodyshell, which is now the same as the all-new Hyundai Santa Fe.

Two engines remain in the range, the 3.5-litre V6 with 204kW of power and 335Nm of torque and the popular 2.2-litre turbodiesel with 145kW of power and 421-435Nm of torque (depending on transmission). The company has kept the same six-speed automatic transmission across the range, while offering a six-speed manual for the diesel.

Updates to the exterior include standard LED daytime running lamps (DRLs), a revised front and rear bumper as well as tailgate and newly designed alloy wheels.

Kia Motors Australia chief operating officer Tony Barlow believes the new Sorento represents everything the company itself strives to be.

“This latest Sorento is bigger, better, stronger, safer and better value, all the things Kia Motors values and strives to provide for our customers.”
