Compare the specs first. X90 will be using 1.5T engine, same as X50 if not mistaken

Sorento will be either 2.2 diesel, 2.5 turbo, or 1.6 turbo hybrid

if you want to put it that way.... you are paying 180k for a locally rebadged China car. still think you are getting a good deal?
but if you ask me, i dont think X90 will cost 180k. more like 150 - 160k range

Good car but gonna be hard to compete in our market at those prices. Some will say its fully speced and 7/6 seater, but most people dont care. The price already put them off

Yeah me too, been driving my 10yrs old Sorento with no issues at all, infact just repainted last month for a fresher look.

I doubt Kia would price much higher compared to other similar spec'ed brands. Is this price and spec confirmed for MY market? I couldnt find any official news on it, most of the article says TBC, btw.

Based on Kia Carnival KA4 8-seater Mid Spec, One owner has successfully upgraded the AV system to include the Surround View Monitor but that is an after-market solution and not one by KIA itself.

Within this week.

The car comes with FULL ADAS which comprise of latest technologies like

FCA - Front Collision Avoidance Assist with Junction Turning
SCC - Smart Cruise Control
LFA - Lane Keep Assist / Lane Following Assist
LDW - Lane Departure Warning
BCA - Blindspot Collision Avoidance Assist
RCCA - Rear Cross-Traffic Collission Assist
HBA - High Beam Assist
MCB - Multi Collision Brake Control
DAW - Driver Attention Warning

If you compare with the previous generation UM, it does not have any of the ADAS features mentioned above.
So one, has to look at the specs objectively.

Anyway, for the 2.2L Petrol 2WD version, it comes with semi fabric and semi leatherette and not full fabric.
