New 'facelift' Kia Sorento 2.5 CRDi XE

[cokey1970]

Hi all.

I'm looking to change my car and have been considering the new facelifted Kia Sorento 2.5 CRDi XE with a manual box.

Does anyone have one of these and if so, what do you think? Have you compared it to the pre-facelift model?

Interestingly, according to WhatCar, the Sorento is due for a radical overhaul later this year.

I have a face lift model 2.5 XS auto. I had a 2.5 manual 54 reg before. The face lift model is a much smoother ride, more power and the auto box makes towing very easy I tow a Swift Utopia 530 van, but I have not missed the self levelling rear suspension

Fuel consumption is pretty poor, but only 3000 mile on clock.If it's like the last one this should improve as the mileage increases.

Thanks for the info Steve.

What MPG do you get towing and solo?
