The 2015 Kia Sorento has already managed some mighty impressive scores in reviews here at CarAdvice, so we thought we should get one to spend some quality time in.
As such, we’ve recently taken delivery of a 2015 Kia Sorento SLi diesel, a model that could be the pick of the range for those looking for a good balance between luxury fittings and an affordable price tag.
The mid-range diesel model kicks off at $49,490 plus on-road costs, and it comes pretty handsomely equipped for the cash.
Indeed, all Sorentos are well-specced, as no matter which model you choose, you get a six-speed automatic, reverse-view camera, touchscreen media system and satellite navigation. Yep, even the base model at $40,990 has all that â€" and seven seats, too.
Highlights for the SLi include 18-inch alloy wheels with a full-size alloy spare, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, leather interior trim, eight-way electric seat for the driver, and push-button start with smart key. There’s also a 10-speaker Infinity stereo system to keep everyone quiet … er, entertained.

There is a petrol version of the SLi, which has a 3.3-litre V6 petrol engine, but it is available only with front-wheel drive.
As such, we’ve decided to get the more adventure-friendly diesel all-wheel-drive option, because, well, who knows? Someone in the CarAdvice office might follow the lead of many of those family buyers who opt for the AWD model on the off chance they may, one day, go camping or soft-roading. It’s our intention to do that at some point over the coming months that we have the Sorento.
