Introducing the all-new SUV from Kia – Sorento is dynamic in style and fresh in spirit, also with an inspiring cabin.
It is a robust, masculine and capable off-road vehicle.
With its beautifully defined lines and a cohesive suite of stylishly illuminated as well as intuitive controls and sporty gauge clusters, the cockpit is a perfect backdrop for technology that works together seamlessly to make driving a pleasure.
The stylish integrated audio system will be music to your ears, with a six-CD changer delivering your favourite sounds.
Both driver and passenger can control the fully automatic air-conditioning system with an eight-level fan adjustment to suit temperature preferences.
Sorento’s “monocoque” design is lightweight, with a high level of strength and rigidity.
This has been enhanced further with various reinforcements, including a rollover hoop and a safety chassis featuring ultra-high tension steel plates to absorb energies under impact.
Combine this with active safety features such as airbags, seatbelt pre-tensioners and electronic stability controls, and you will feel confident that Sorento is a very safe place to be.
Whether you are touring the country, heading off-road or driving in the city, you will want to know that you have the power and performance – Sorento has all the options.
For Brunei, there are four engine choices: the seven-seater 2.2 crdi 2WD (A) diesel, which costs around $37,000; seven-seater 2.2 crdi 4WD (A) diesel worth $41,000, five-seater 2.4 gasoline 2WD (M) that is $30,800, and five-seater 3.5 gasoline 2WD V6 (A) costing $36,000.
Kia is driven by innovation.
The exterior styling symbolises this forward-looking approach to vehicle design, with very European-style cues.
Its HID headlamps provide high-intensity discharge and wrap-around headlamps, giving a strong and dynamic image.
The signature front grille features a design representing a tiger’s roar.
The aggressive and futuristic style is completed with honeycomb mesh above the deep two-tone bumper.
The new Kia Sorento has plenty of space.
Even with the seven seats in use, you will find a host of creative storage ideas and thoughtful accessories.
The second-row seating features a walk-in device, reclining seatbacks and a centre armrest.
The headroom is higher and its legroom has been extended.
Meanwhile, the new two-door 2.0-litre Kia Cerato Koup’s petrol engine gives an agile yet stable handling in all road conditions.
Sporty tuning comes courtesy of a lowered-weight and strengthened suspension, tuned shock absorbers and power steering, as well as optimised aerodynamics.
The essence of the new Cerato is embodied by its frameless doors that provide more visibility for the driver and occupants.
It also features sporty and compact centre fascia, auto cruise control, electro-chromic rear view mirrors, out-sliding power sunroof, tilt and telescopic steering columns, auto light control and sun-visors with illuminated mirrors.
Other niceties include sunglass storage with dual map lamps, a glove compartment, centre console cup holders, rear-side trim cup holders, 60:40 split-folding rear-seat backrests and ample cargo space.
The high specification Koup 2.0 (A) costs about $27,000.
