The face-lifted Kia Sorento 2.5 auto maintained most of the high standards set by our Towcar of the Year 2006 winner, but this time it didn’t walk away with the big prize. Although it still felt well ‘planted’ on the road, this year’s entry lost marks on my score sheet for a slight ‘wobble’ at high speed, though I seemed to be in a minority here.
The revised engine certainly shifts the car along at a pace. No price was available as we went to press but you can assume that the Sorento will still be competitively priced for such a well put together towcar.
