SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) models, which provide high performance in difficult terrain conditions while providing confidence and comfort in city life, have become one of the most frequently preferred vehicles in recent years. These models also have some technical features that differ according to the place of use and performance. SUV models can be front wheel drive (Front Wheel Drive) or rear wheel drive (Rear Wheel Drive). Some SUV models have 4-wheel drive. These models, called 4×4, distribute the power taken from the engine to all 4 wheels.

All-wheel drive, or in other words, all-wheel drive, the New Kia Sorento offers high performance and impressive driving dynamics of the hybrid engine. We have brought together the highlights of Kia Sorento for you.
Style, Practicality, Safety and Comfort: The New Sorento
The Sorento, which has sold around 2002 million units since its debut in 1,5, remains one of Kia's most important and best-selling vehicles.
The design of the new Sorento builds on the strength and aesthetics of previous Sorento generations. The sharp lines, corners and dynamic body structure in the new design allow the vehicle to display a more sporty stance. A longer wheelbase, more space for passengers and their belongings, and upgraded technology make the 2022 model Sorento stand out among other SUVs.
The 2022 model New Sorento also draws attention as it is the first model produced with Kia's new SUV platform. The New Kia Sorento, which hit the roads in Europe with hybrid and diesel engine options, is on the road in Turkey as of 2022 with only its hybrid version.
Award-Winning Design
Sorento, with its fourth generation introduced in March 2020, was awarded in the "Design" category by Auto Bild Allrad, Europe's best selling automobile magazine.

Kia Sorento redefines the successful design of previous-generation SUVs, combining new styling elements with high-tech details.

While the interior of the Sorento includes glossy surfaces, metal textured and wood-like coatings, there are also leather embossed patterns on the optional leather-equipped models.

The driver only needs to touch the steering wheel when the buzzer sounds.
Vehicle Selections by Purpose of Use
If your purpose of use is to make more roads and have an off-road experience, you can buy an upper-middle or upper class SUV 4×4 vehicle.
