KIA Sorento; Dedicated Discussion, Owner/ Fan Club Thread

[waqasahmed03]

i have been saying this again and agin that they should come with non hybrid sorento and santa fe. aray bhai, 1.3 crore walay banday ku fuel ka ziada masla nahin. get it down to 1.1 crore (savign hybrid kit cost) and do more sales as evident from new cross pricing. Hybrids are a sham if you see it on economic terms and if you are under 150 liters per month.

when will they launch this car in 2025?

Is it a good decision to buy a used V6 3.5L kia sorento for about Rs 80 lakh these days?

[mgalaxy3]

Car as a product is great .. except a bit low fuel efficiency. Very roomy and filled with features, good build quality.

The only issue I see is low resale and possibly very expensive parts or even low/non availability in case you ever need them.

If you understand that it will be difficult to resell it later I’d say it’s a good option in 7 seaters.

The only issue I see is low resale

It is getting much popular nowadays specially after they announced the instalment plans.

@Panther
You're requirement is of 7 seats?

[Panther]

At present I have second gen honda HR-V thai version that were imported as CBU by honda Pakistan starting 2016. This vehicle generally fulfils our routine usage but when my grownup kids are around than we have to hire a second car to travel out of city. Travelling separately isn't much fun. Therefore I was considering a 7 seater. The available options are kia sorento, hyundai santa fe, oshan X7, 580 pro. Santa fe is too expensive and other are Chinese but are feature rich. As regards parts, I think all of them have expensive parts and non are available in kabari bazar. I am the type who doesn't change cars very often. Mostly , I change cars after 5-8 years. I don't want to spend anything plus of Rs10M.

[Panther]

Yes, sort of....we may be needing 7 seats max twice a year.

[mgalaxy3]

7 seats are always a plus.

The only viable options you have are Sorento or Oshan X7. Glory, Tiggo, and Santa Fe should be avoided imo.

Oshan right now seems to be selling quite well and you will often see it in northern areas families coming on trips thanks to the very large interior and 7 seats.

You can also get it brand new, the facelift 7 seater future sense that also comes with radar / adaptive cruise.

Sorento will be used and does not have adaptive cruise.

I would say visit a Changan showroom and test drive the Oshan X7. It’s quite powerful too thanks to its turbo boost and you will not find it sluggish.

If you are not a brand name fan and if you like Oshan in person go for it. Also read posts in the dedicated Oshan X7 thread.

[Panther]

I will definitely consider X7 as an option. Thanks for suggesting.
