First drive: 2015 Kia Sorento

Kia Motors

Sorrento (with two Rs) is a hugely popular resort near Naples on Italy's Amalfi coast. Sorento (with one R) probably doesn't exude quite the same levels of exclusivity but nonetheless it's still a big draw to lovers of reliable, reasonably priced SUVs. Kia has revamped its large 4x4 and is in the process of launching it across Europe, with UK sales due to start in April.
