Highlights include LED lighting, electrically folding mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, heated front seats, a 12.3-inch touchscreen navigation system, and advanced safety systems, ensuring the Sorento remains one of the safest vehicles in its class.
The Sorento ‘2’, priced from £41,995, serves as the entry point to this distinguished lineup, offering a wealth of standard features along with some model-specific highlights such as 17-inch alloy wheels (19-inch on PHEV) and tinted glass. The ‘3’ variant, starting at £46,195, elevates the driving experience with luxury additions including 19-inch alloy wheels, black leather upholstery, and enhanced technology like a Bose™ premium sound system and a 360-degree around view monitor.
