Kia wouldn't have been top of our list when guessing the next manufacturer to enter the van market, but the Koreans obviously saw a niche waiting to be filled, They followed the well-trodden path of ripping the back seats out of an SUV, blanking the windows and calling it a van. On the whole, the exercise with the Sorento is successful. Car-like cab comfort and standard of equipment is a given, and performance is impressive thanks to a surprisingly effective and economical common-rail engine. Payload is
good by class standards.
It drives well on and off-road, until you happen upon a corner. Ask it to deviate from a straight line and it will show all the response of a hovercraft, before developing an exciting degree of oversteer, especially in the wet. Still, you might consider the wad of cash saved as just compensation.
