This edition’s car review will feature two cars, the Kia Sorento GT-Line HEV and the Kia Carnival GT-Line HEV.
Kia Sorento GT-Line HEV
The Kia Sorento is a seven-seat large SUV that puts the focus on family and luxury.
It’s more spacious, more versatile and features class-leading innovations wrapped in finely tailored style.
The Kia Sorento is not only one of the most high-tech Kia cars ever made, but also leads the way in large SUV design.
Inside, the seamless and fully digital screens provide important driving information and infotainment data.
Customise to your preference by drag and drop of different information widgets on the infotainment touchscreen.
Enjoy long journeys in comfort with 14-way power driver’s seat, including four-way lumbar support, cushion extension and two-seating position memory function.
For the front passenger, 10-way power seat with two-way lumbar support and walk-in switch is available.
Stay comfortable in any weather with dual-zone climate control – in addition, switch the functions of the same set of controls between the climate and infotainment systems with just the press of a button.
The Kia Sorento has also been subjected to an extensive local ride and handling tuning program over thousands of kilometres across urban, country and outback roads in Australia to ensure comfort and dependability to suit the unique conditions.
Kia Carnival GT-Line HEV
The Kia Carnival is quite unlike anything Kia has crafted before.
Combining SUV-inspired design with an unstoppable attitude, the Kia Carnival uses progressive styling that boasts an aesthetic like no other.
Featuring a luxurious interior for eight, lavishly equipped with next-generation Kia technology, the Carnival lets you and your passengers travel in comfort and style.
Inside, keep your eyes on the road with the colour head-up display projecting driving information within your field of view.
The system display alerts from the car’s numerous driver assistance technologies, details of vehicle speed and turn-by-turn navigation instructions.
The digital centre mirror uses a camera positioned in the rear spoiler, providing improved visibility unhindered by luggage, seats, passengers, water and stains on rear glass and more.
Distinctive 3D patterned colour customisable mood lighting adds a touch of elegance to the ambience.
The Carnival also prioritises safety, with features such as Autonomous Emergency Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Advanced Smart Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Assist working to keep the driver and passengers safe on the road.
