The Kia Sorento is a large seven-seat SUV and the diesel-only GT-Line sits at the top of the range at $58,990.

Standard features include the leather seats, an eight-inch display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a 10-speaker Harman Kardon stereo with digital radio. There’s also sat nav, a 360-degree camera, dual-zone climate control, proximity unlocking, an auto tailgate, powered front seats, tinted rear glass, alloy pedals, LED auto headlights with LED DRLs, a sun roof, heated front and rear seats, roof rails, a rear spoiler and 19-inch alloy wheels.

The GT-Line comes only with the 2.2-litre diesel which makes 147kW and 441Nm. The six-speed automatic transmission in the old car has now been replaced by an eight-speed auto.

Kia says you can expect to use 7.6L/100km of diesel under combined driving conditions.

Scoring a maximum five-star ANCAP rating, advanced safety kit includes AEB, lane keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, blind spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert.

Three top tether mounts and two ISOFIX points can be found in the second row only.

Laura Berry is a best-selling Australian author and journalist who has been reviewing cars for almost 20 years.  Much more of a Hot Wheels girl than a Matchbox one, she grew up in a family that would spend every Friday night sitting on a hill at the Speedway watching Sprintcars slide in the mud. The best part of this was being given money to buy stickers. She loved stickers… which then turned into a love of tattoos. Out of boredom, she learnt to drive at 14 on her parents’ bush property in what can only be described as a heavily modified Toyota LandCruiser.   At the age of 17 she was told she couldn’t have a V8 Holden ute by her mother, which led to Laura and her father laying in the driveway for three months building a six-cylinder ute with more horsepower than a V8.   Since then she’s only ever owned V8s, with a Ford Falcon XW and a Holden Monaro CV8 part of her collection over the years.  Laura has authored two books and worked as a journalist writing about science, cars, music, TV, cars, art, food, cars, finance, architecture, theatre, cars, film and cars. But, mainly cars.   A wife and parent, her current daily driver is a chopped 1951 Ford Tudor with a V8.
