The 2021 Sorento is a proper generational step forward, not just a nip and tuck. It is a large three-row SUV that arrives with more equipment, a cleaner design, and the sort of interior quality that makes rivals from the same price band look old overnight.
Jenny spends time with the family-hauler version of the school run, noting how a full seven-seater fares in everyday Australian use. Parking sensors earn their keep in Coles car parks. The third row is better than most, though it is still a row best left for smaller passengers. The hybrid drivetrain option in the lineup suits stop-start suburban driving well.
The GT-Line Sorento is not a cautious car. It asks a fair slice of money and delivers a fair slice of car in return. Families upgrading from a medium SUV will find it worth the stretch. Those who rarely need the third row should probably save themselves the cash.
