About the Kia Sorento MQ4
The fourth-generation Kia Sorento (MQ4) represents a significant move upmarket for the brand, featuring a sharper 'tiger nose' design and a vastly improved interior. This '3' trim hybrid variant pairs a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine with a 44.2kW electric motor, providing a smooth transition between power sources and standard all-wheel drive in the UK. It is noted for its high-quality cabin materials, featuring a 10.25-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital cluster. As a family-focused SUV, it offers genuine seven-seat practicality and a comprehensive suite of safety technologies, making it a competitive alternative to established European rivals.
