Kia's medium sized SUV, Sorento, receives a number of new upgrade
for 2011 with a long list of enhancements ranging from Bluetooth
technology to leather wrapped instrument cluster housing.
All vehicles across the Sorento range from the
entry level Si to the range topping Platinum will receive the latest
Bluetooth technology providing hands-free mobile phone connectivity and
media streaming, all operated through steering wheel mounted controls.
"Kia
Motors is constantly working with, and forming strategic partnerships
with, technology suppliers who can make the Kia experience more
enjoyable for our customers," said Kia Motors Australia
Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Tony Barlow
"As new
technology becomes available and if it passes our stringent quality
controls, we make it accessible to our customers as quickly as
possible."
Other upgrades across the range include a headlamp
escort function where low beam illuminates the ground in front of the
car at night after it has been turned off, providing occupants with
enough light to get from the car to the house safely.
The top two models receive revised in-mirror
display rear view camera offering a higher resolution image and parking
guide lines, making the accidental 'touch park' a thing of the past.
Also on the SLi and Platinum models, the
instrument cluster housing has received a new leather wrap and the
front passenger window is now automatic both up and down with a
built-in safety function.
The Platinum's panoramic sunroof is now alarmed
which is activated when the car is "OFF" and the driver's door is
opened.
Recommended Retail Pricing for the Sorento Si
remains unchanged with the 2WD automatic, 2.4-litre petrol staying at
$36,490 just like its 2.2-litre diesel counterparts in manual and
automatic which also remain unchanged at $39,990 and $41,990
respectively.
The 2.2-litre diesel automatic SLi and Platinum
models receive the list of enhancements for an additional $200 making
the new recommended retail prices $46,190 and $49,190
respectively.
