About this listen

this episode of The Mega Car Review Podcast, Marv and Claudia turn their attention to one of the most practical and family-focused SUVs on the market – the Kia Sorento. Whether you’re a parent juggling the school run or someone looking for a spacious all-rounder with a touch of style, this episode unpacks everything you need to know about Kia’s flagship 7-seater.

Join our hosts as they delve into the Sorento’s design, technology, and reputation for value. Marv takes a closer look at Kia’s engine choices, including the hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants, and how they affect performance and economy. Meanwhile, Claudia focuses on the day-to-day usability of the Sorento – from cabin comfort and boot space to infotainment and driver assistance features.

They also examine how the Sorento stacks up against key rivals in the crowded SUV segment. Is Kia doing enough to stand out from the likes of the Hyundai Santa Fe, Skoda Kodiaq, or even premium contenders like the Volvo XC90? And does the Sorento still deliver the same strong value proposition that made it a hit in previous generations?

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Mega Car Review episode without a bit of straight talk. Marv and Claudia tackle the criticisms – from infotainment quirks to third-row practicality – and share their honest take on where the Sorento shines and where it could improve.

Beyond the features, they also discuss what the Sorento represents in the broader car market. Is it proof that Kia has fully shaken off its budget-brand roots? And what does the Sorento’s growing popularity say about the changing priorities of UK drivers?

If you’re considering a new family car or simply want to know if the Kia Sorento lives up to its growing reputation, this episode is for you.
