Kia Motors South Africa has added a new, range-topping derivative to its local Sorento line-up, dubbing the flagship the SXL.
Priced at R719 995, the SXL comes in some R20 000 above the current top-of-the-line SX variant. So, what do you get for the extra cash? Essentially, a seven-inch colour touchscreen with satellite navigation.
The new model is based on the seven-seater SX derivative, which means it also comes standard with blind-spot detection with lane-change assist, rear cross traffic alert, and a powered tailgate.
The SXL is powered by Kia’s familiar 2,2-litre turbodiesel engine, which develops 147 kW and 440 N.m and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
The newcomer also comes standard with a five-year/100 000 km maintenance plan, as well as a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty.
