FOR whatever reason, the saying 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' always seems to ring true. But apparently that is not good enough for the boffins at Kia, because they have given the beloved Sorento seven-seat large SUV a once over.
This updates comes just over two years into the latest model's life cycle, but increasing pressure for higher safety standards has prompted the Korean company to improve the Sorento's game. As such, a suite of Drive Wise technologies have been added alongside small price rises.
At the same time, engineers have been tasked with elevating the seven-seater's ride and handling, which continues to be tuned to Australian tastes. Want more? Well, they have also set upon the interior, stretching it and adding more high-quality materials.
So, did Kia manage to spoil the previously brilliant Sorento, or has it taken the model's prowess to another level? We drive the diesel-powered GT-Line flagship to find out.
