AT £37,550, the Kia Sorento KX-3 automatic is the most expensive choice here (although our pictures show a top-spec KX-4 model). We know there are plenty of positives about the car, but are they enough to look past the price tag as it lines up against the new Mitsubishi and its Hyundai cousin? not too bad. The gearbox is similar to the Santa Fe’s in that there’s not much point in using the manual mode. It’s not the swiftest-shifting unit, either, but around town it slips changes through smoothly.
