This is my second drive in some months in the new Kia Sorento and this time it’s at home on Irish roads. The new model has an obvious bigger feel to it, and matches the Hyundai Santa Fé with a stronger look. The larger, more vertical grille gives a stronger first impression than the previous model.The Sorento is a seven-seat 4x4 that delivers comfort and driving smoothness. The 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine remains largely unchanged from before, but there’s marginally more power and torque, and it seems smoother and quieter to drive.
