Kia Sorento Hybrid

Traded in my GLB for the brand new Hybrid 2026 with the updated steering wheel design. My first Hybrid as well, previously always driven ICE cars. Was advised by SA that the average range was about 900-1000KM, honestly I was a bit skeptical about this claim but so far, i'm clocking really almost 1000KM for every refuel. I collected the car in early Sept and have clocked 4k km as of today. Highest RPM reach is 4K, and fastest at 135Km/h (malaysia drive). Comparing with my previous ride (GLB 2021 model), the comfort quality of the sorento is better but corner handling is not as tight as GLB, with body rolling quite badly. Sound insulation is average, driving at 100+ and above you can hear the wind noise and tyre noise quite loudly. Engine noise during rev is not as bad as GLB. Cutoff from engine to electric is quite bad, with a loud thud sound, something which I will feedback during my next servicing. Driving along the highway at 120kmh with strong wind is quite dangerous as the car feels light and floaty, compared to GLB which is solid and doesn't sway easily. Sorento comes with rear aircon at cargo/luggage area, which I appreciate this because sometimes i put cakes/groceries at the back of my boot space and a little aircon really helps. One thing which really annoys me is the start/stop button, which is a filmsy loose piece of plastic. Dont understand why can't they make this basic component solid since its going to be pressed everytime we start and stop the car. I wonder how long can this plastic last..... Read More

I recently purchased the Kia Sorento, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The car itself is outstanding—sleek design, spacious interior, and impressive performance on the road. It drives smoothly, with excellent handling and a quiet cabin that makes the journey comfortable. The features are top-notch especially the intuitive infotainment system and advanced safety technologies, which give me great peace of mind. What truly made this experience exceptional, however, was the service from the sales agent Dom. From the very first interaction, his professionalism, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. He took the time to explain all the features clearly, and never pressured me into making a decision. Every question I had was answered thoroughly, and the entire process—from test drive to final purchase—was smooth and stress-free. Even after the sale, the follow-up service has been excellent, showing genuine care for customer satisfaction. Overall, I highly recommend the Kia Sorento—not just for its quality and performance, but also for the outstanding customer service that made the buying experience truly enjoyable.... Read More
