Nikki Cousins and Peter Anderson road test and review the 2016 Kia Sorento SLi diesel with specs, fuel consumption and verdict.
The Kia Sorento marched straight to the top of the large, seven-seat SUV segment when the third-generation model arrived in mid-2015, setting a new segment benchmark for refinement along with the important family credentials of value and room for all.
The mid-spec Sorento SLi scrapes just beneath the magical $50,000 barrier with the optional diesel engine, which also brings all-wheel drive.
A two-wheel drive petrol V6 version is available for $3500 less, and like all new Kias, the Sorento is backed by the brand's industry-leading seven-year, unlimited kilometre warranty.
But is it worthy of Nikki and Peter's families? They've put it to the Torquing Heads test to find out.
