I'm not a big fan of Korean makes but this new Sorento really looks good....so un-Korean!

Some great pictures here, New Sorento Pictures

I must say, the cars looks pretty well specced for its price and has an European styling to it.

Yup, for the specs on offer, RM 158,888 (OTR) for a 2.4L with so many improvements seems good value to me.

You are right man...it's good value for money.

I am quite surprised why Kia did not bring in the Diesel version. Having tried the San Fe diesel, I think a diesel Kia Sorento would be a better value for money option - Looks and Spec wise.

I have checked it out and it is very impressive given the price is same as getting a crv but you get a 2.4 l and full spec as compared to crv plain vanilla.

Apart from the branding being Korean, I think it is overall a great car.

Speaking of Korean cars, here's a bit of news. The 3rd Gen Santa Fe was spotted on a trailer recently. I think it is set to be launched pretty soon. Brand preference aside, I wonder how it stacks up against the Sorento.

According to the , Malaysians would not be getting the long wheel base 7 seater. So if its just the normal 5 seater then it probably would lose out to the Sorento. But who knows, maybe Hyundai Malaysia will spec the short wheelbase variant with the extra two seats at the back since it shares the same wheelbase with the current model. Overall, its another great looking SUV.
