Overview
Safety
The Kia Sorento delivers a high level of passenger protection thanks to its advanced safety features, which include both active and passive systems. Among its key active safety technologies is the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system, which helps minimize collision risks by intervening if the driver fails to react in time. The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system adds extra confidence during lane changes, while a high definition rearview camera ensures clear visibility when parking.
On the passive safety side, the Sorento features a reinforced central structure designed with energy absorbing zones to reduce impact force during collisions. The vehicle is also equipped with multiple airbags covering both front and rear seating areas, offering comprehensive protection for all occupants.
Purchase Cost
In Saudi Arabia, the Kia Sorento starts at a price of 140,000 SAR, based on the latest market data. Assuming a 20 percent down payment, buyers would pay 28,000 SAR upfront. The remaining amount can be financed over 60 months at an annual interest rate of 1.9 percent, resulting in a monthly installment of approximately 1,918 SAR.
The Sorento is also known for retaining its value well in the Saudi market. On average, a three year old model holds a resale value of around 90,000 SAR, indicating strong residual performance among midsize SUVs.
Running Costs
Since the Kia Sorento runs on gasoline, owners should factor in fuel and maintenance expenses. The vehicle has an average fuel efficiency of about 12 km per liter. For an annual driving distance of 15,000 kilometers, this translates to a fuel requirement of roughly 1,250 liters per year. With the current gasoline price in Saudi Arabia at 0.91 SAR per liter, the estimated annual fuel cost comes to around 1,138 SAR, or approximately 95 SAR per month.
Regarding maintenance, Kia has a reputation for reasonable servicing costs and intervals. The Sorento requires routine maintenance every 10,000 kilometers, with each service visit costing between 700 and 900 SAR. This positions the Sorento as a balanced and economical choice within its segment.
