TT Score

7/10

A promising large SUV on paper, with hybrid and diesel choices, six- or seven-seat layouts and available AWD, but the low-confidence, pre-launch data makes the score provisional.

Who it suits

Large-family buyer — The Sorento is offered in both 6- and 7-seat configurations, giving families flexibility for people carrying and cabin access.
Highway-focused SUV buyer — The listed 2.1-litre diesel produces 442Nm and AWD is available on higher variants, supporting a strong long-distance specification.
Buyer seeking hybrid efficiency — A petrol-electric hybrid powertrain is listed, giving buyers an alternative to the diesel for everyday running.

Worth knowing

· The vehicle is not yet on sale, so real-world fuel economy, ride quality, service costs and reliability cannot be judged from the supplied data.
· The supplied safety data conflicts: one section lists 7 airbags while the published safety table lists 10, so the exact safety equipment needs confirmation.
· The supplied specifications conflict on engine outputs and drivetrain, including 178bhp/265Nm/AWD versus the separately listed 190bhp/442Nm and FWD/AWD combinat
