2015 Kia Sorento SLi : Long-term report two

But given that the SLi already has plenty of good bits, such as the same sumptuous leather trim, the same woodgrain on the dash and centre console, and electric seat adjustment for the front chairs, it hardly feels like a 'poverty pack'€™.

Many other members of the team here in the Sydney CA office have been spending some time behind the wheel of our SLi, including one regular driver, our chief financial officer John Smith.

To get a feel for how John had been finding the Sorento after about a month of on/off driving, I asked him a few questions, and it became clear that the Kia had grown on him, as he said the car had become “more stylish” in his eyes over time, and that he found the “sleek lines and easy access for all occupants” to be his favourite design features.

“Its obvious that Kia have put a lot of thought into the design of this new Sorento when compared to the previous model,” he said.

He called out interior elements such as that “great faux woodgrain trim”, as well as the “power tailgate” which makes for easy loading of big items. You can open the boot using the keyfob, too.
The interior â€" despite being exposed to the backsides of many and varied occupants over the past two months â€" hasn’t shown any indication of wear and tear, no squeaks or rattles, and there are plenty of charging options for occupants including three 12-volt outlets and two USB plugs.
