2021 Sorento Wins Large SUV of the Year at the 2021 What Car? Car Of The Year Awards

Kia’s flagship SUV, the 2021 Sorento, is off to a strong start for the New Year, being named ‘Large SUV of the Year’ at the 2021 What Car? Car of the Year Awards

The What Car? judging panel chose the Sorento as SUV of the year for its impressive fuel economy, driving dynamics, high levels of standard specification, and exceptional build quality.

The 1.6 T-GDi Hybrid Sorento was chosen as the preferred variant due to its long list of standard features such as a rearview camera, intelligent speed limit assist and forward collision avoidance.

Commenting on the Sorento win, Steve Huntingford, Editor of What Car? magazine said: “The Sorento’s hybrid tech combines good real-world fuel economy with comparatively low CO2 emissions, while the ride is comfortable and the steering accurate. Throw in a nicely made and well-equipped interior, a driving position that’s lofty enough to make HGV drivers jealous and Kia’s unmatched seven-year warranty, and the Sorento is an outstanding all-rounder.”

Won-Jeong Jeong, President at Kia Motors Europe commented: “It is always a great honor to receive awards for the vehicles that we produce, and particularly from such well-known and highly regarded publications as What Car? magazine. The fourth-generation Sorento is a car we are very proud of, particularly as it represents the first application of electrified power in our flagship SUV.”
