    2024 Kia Sorento Fuel Economy

    The 3.5-litre V6 engine has 200kW of power and 332Nm of torque. Fuel economy for the Front-wheel drive petrol is 9.7L/100km combined of regular unleaded (91 RON).

    The 2.2-litre diesel has 148kW of power and 440Nm of torque with fuel economy rated at 6.1L/100km of regular diesel driven via all four wheels.

    The top-spec all-wheel drive 1.6-litre hybrid model with its 192kW and 350Nm (combined petrol and electric) uses 1.6L/100km of regular unleaded petrol under the official limited testing cycle.

    That would include its roughly 68km of full electric range. If the battery is flat the fuel economy figure would be substantially higher.

    You should service your Sorento at your authorised Kia dealer or service centre, however servicing it at third party mechanics that follow OEM servicing instructions should not impact the Sorento’s warranty.

    How does the 2024 Kia Sorento drive?

    Our expert take on Kia Sorento drivability.

    The driving dynamics are really dependent on the variant you pick. The front-wheel drive petrol models drive rather differently to the all-wheel drive diesel models. Meanwhile, the plug-in hybrid is a different beast entirely. We recommend reading the reviews of each model (look for review section above).

    Even so, the main differences from a dynamics perspective are the various wheel and tyre packages (the Sport+ and GT-Line are worse at ironing out sharp bumps); the diesel’s AWD with locking centre and terrain-specific throttle modes; and extra tare weight. 

    All Sorento models have electrically-assisted power steering, MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension with an Australian-specific damper tune, and 325mm-rotor ventilated disc brakes front and rear.
