While the
Ford Escape 2020 has a starting price of KWD 6,700 and the
Toyota Fortuner 2020 of KWD 8,700, the Kia Sorento 2020 3.3L Base (AWD) stands at KWD 8,200 including VAT. One of 9 available trim levels, the 3.3L-BASE-AWD is equipped with essential features including 2 Airbags, BA (Brake Assist), EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), Immobilizer, Central Locking, and Cupholders. Additional features include Fabric Seats, Foldable Rear Seats, a Chrome Plated Radiator Grille, LED Daytime Running Lights, and Electric Door Mirrors with Side Turn Signal. This model also boasts Audio Controls on the Steering Wheel, an Auto Dimming Mirror, Automatic AC, and AUX connectivity.
This Korean crossover is powered by a robust 3.3-litre V6 Petrol engine that generates an impressive 290 horsepower and 342 Nm of torque. In comparison, the Ford Escape and Toyota Fortuner come with smaller 2.5-litre and 2.7-litre engines respectively, making the Sorento a more powerful option for performance enthusiasts.
In Kuwait, the average price of the Sorento across all versions is KWD 9,022. Considering an annual depreciation of 30%, we anticipate the 3.3L-BASE-AWD to be priced around KWD 5,740 on the
used car market by next year. The Sorento is well-regarded for its spacious interior and advanced safety features, making it a popular choice among families in the region. Additionally, the model's competitive pricing and reliability have solidified its reputation among SUV enthusiasts in Kuwait.
