Is the KIA Sorento any good for a Family, Stick around for a minute and find out. Kia’s fourth generation Sorento is by far the best model yet. And the previous ones were excellent.
Designed for a large family, the new modern and elegant design hides a comfortable interior.
This is like a lounge room on wheels for the family. The front seats are extremely comfortable with heaters, electric adjustments as well as a heated steering wheel.
The middle seats are spacious and would certainly be comfortable for transporting the family and the third row are ok for shorter distances for shorter passengers and as a five seat SUV there is excellent luggage room.

The GT-Line is packed with standard features both for comfort and safety and some highlights are an in dash turn camera, interior LED mood lighting and a large user friendly infotainment screen.
The 3.5L petrol engine is responsive enough, but a little heavy on fuel so my pick would be the diesel engine with better economy and relaxed driving.
Its hard to describe just how comfortable the Sorento is, and how easy it is to live with every day.
Kia s 3.5L GT-Line Sorento is priced from just over $64,000 drive away.
