Practical Caravan

Kia Sorento – need to know

-

How much?

£11,000-£38,000

The earliest third-generation

Sorentos are only 3.5 years old, so still command a five-figure price, albeit only just. So, for

your £11,000 you’ll get a car that has spent a lot of time trawling the motorways of the UK, and the odometer will reflect that.

Up the budget by only £6000 and you’ll get a well-looked-after

2015/16 car with fewer than

60,000 miles. If you can stretch

beyond £20,000 you’ll net a low-mileage, high-spec example with full dealer history, which

has been very lightly used.

And remember, that warranty

applies to all examples of this model of Sorento, so you really can rest easy.
