There’s no denying that the all-new Kia Sorento SUV is a big step forward compared to previous generation model, and this latest review from Carbuyer confirms it.

The large seven-seat SUV looks better, has a plusher, better built interior and offers more space and versatility than before. It also offers a comfortable and quiet ride, as engineers made sure that the suspension provides a cushy response to road imperfections.

Obviously, this means the Kia Sorento is not the best SUV to drive for those who like an engaging experience behind the wheel.

Mat Watson says the crossover is only “okay” to drive, with the same adjective being used to describe the engine, a 2.2-liter diesel which is the only option for UK buyers. Scroll down to find out why from the video review.
