Is KIA sorento the ultimate family vehicle of 2023?

ISLAMABAD: In Pakistan, large families have always cherished their togetherness, and their need for spacious vehicles has led to a heartwarming trend.

The demand for 7-seater cars is soaring, offering more than just convenience; they are now turning out to be cost-efficient choices as well.

One shining example of this trend is the third-generation Kia Sorento, which made its grand entrance into the Pakistani market in February 2021.

This versatile vehicle is available in three impressive variants: the 2.4L Front Wheel Drive (FWD), 2.4L All Wheel Drive (AWD), and the 3.5L Front Wheel Drive (FWD).

The third-generation Kia Sorento, a prime example of this movement, made its much-anticipated debut in the Pakistani market in February 2021. This remarkable vehicle offers a range of three captivating variants: the 2.4L Front Wheel Drive (FWD), 2.4L All Wheel Drive (AWD), and the 3.5L Front Wheel Drive (FWD).

KIA car prices reduced by RS 500,000 after rupee’s appreciation

Kia Sorento is more than just a car; it’s a mid-size crossover SUV loaded with comfort and top-tier safety features. But what makes it truly shine is its ability to comfortably seat seven individuals, making it the quintessential family vehicle. The robust engine ensures every ride is an enjoyable experience.

Lucky Motor Corporation (LMC) announced a reduction of up to Rs500,000 in the prices of KIA vehicles, citing the appreciation of the rupee against the US dollar. This has made the Kia Sorento even more accessible for families across Pakistan.

The company decided to pass the benefit of reduced prices to its esteemed customers, particularly with a significant reduction of Rs500,000 for the 3.5L FWD, 2.4L AWD, and 2.4FWD Sorento variants, bringing their new prices down to Rs11.29 million, Rs11.2 million, and Rs10.3 million, respectively. It’s worth noting that these price reductions are applicable for full payment options.

The Kia Sorento is brimming with features like 18-inch alloy wheels, electronic stability control, brake assist, hill start assist, vehicle stability, ABS, panoramic sunroof, cruise control, and even an air purifier, ensuring a premium driving experience. The vehicle’s responsiveness and a suspension system that seems to magically absorb potholes and shocks guarantee a smooth and comfortable journey. Even sharp turns are a breeze, with minimal body roll, showcasing the car’s remarkable control.

In the competitive arena, the Kia Sorento 2023 boldly faces off against automotive giants like the Toyota Fortuner, Toyota Prado, and Corolla Cross. What truly sets the Sorento apart is its affordable price tag, a feat made even more impressive with the recent reductions. While the Fortuner competes in terms of cost, it still boasts a larger fuel tank and a dedicated fanbase, serving as a symbol of status and economic achievement in Pakistan.

The Prado offers a similar level of luxury and comfort, but it comes at a significantly higher price. With a rich history of representing wealth and power in Pakistan, the Prado, while impressive, still cannot overshadow the Kia Sorento’s legacy.

As for the Corolla Cross, it remains a distant contender for the Kia Sorento. Pricier and accommodating only five passengers, it pales in comparison to the Sorento’s affordability and spaciousness.

In summary, the Kia Sorento has redefined family vehicles in Pakistan, offering both affordability and premium features. Families across the country now have more accessible options for their adventures.
