KIA Sorento

The three-spoke leather steering wheel is made of fine material, but is a bit thin and feels empty. What I like is the design of double rollers + double levers on both sides, which control the volume, tracks, instrument display information and cruise control speed respectively. It is particularly easy to use.

The color scheme of Sorento L's dashboard is very clear and supports multi-level light and dark adjustment. The display in the center of the speedometer can display various driving information such as current speed and average fuel consumption, but this also causes the speedometer pointer to be less eye-catching. Coupled with the interference of the dual units of kilometers/miles, it is sometimes difficult to capture the instantaneous speed at a glance.

Below the screen is the air conditioning control area. Sorento L is equipped with dual-zone automatic air conditioning. The left and right sides of the first two rows can be independently controlled, while the third row has manual air conditioning. Sorento L uses soft materials on the sides of the center console where the knees are often in contact, which is very considerate.

The steering wheel heating function can be seen on Sorento L Elite and above models. It heats up very quickly, you can feel the temperature change in 30 seconds, and the temperature is right in two minutes. The steering wheel heating function is highly popular in Korean cars and has become a configuration advantage.

Paired with the engine is a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. The shifting control feels very strong.

The front seats provide very good side wrapping, and the 520mm long seat cushion also provides excellent thigh support, making it very comfortable to sit.

There is 13cm of movement space in the front and rear of the second-row seats. The legroom is adjustable from three fingers to two fists, and there is room for four fingers on the head. In the same way, adjusting the second-row seats can give third-row passengers four to two fists of legroom. However, sitting upright will make your head hit the roof of the car, making it more comfortable to sit slightly lying down.

There is a USB charging port under the second air outlet, which is very user-friendly and passengers do not have to worry about whether they have brought a mobile power supply.

Sorento L is equipped with a panoramic sunroof that is rare in its class. For a 7-seat SUV, this configuration is very important and can improve the riding comfort of third-row passengers.

There are folding handles on both sides of the trunk for the second row of seats, which can be folded down without having to walk to the front row, which is very convenient.
