The 2024 Kia Sorento has finally arrived in Australia, where it introduces a major facelift for the fourth generation of the large SUV. As before, the seven-seater finds itself going tyre to tyre with its twin under the skin, the Hyundai Santa Fe, among other key models in the mainstream segment.

So, what has changed with the updated Sorento? Well, for starters, the front end has been redesigned to bring it more in line with another of Kia's seven-seat SUVs, the upper-large EV9 electric car. Inside, the multimedia system has been upgraded with the Korean brand's latest software, which finally supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto across the range.

In this expert review, CarsGuide Managing Editor Tim Nicholson gets behind the wheel of the new Sorento at its local media launch to find out how much better it has become. He tests petrol and diesel variants, with 'self-charging' and plug-in hybrid options to follow later this year.
