 The new R2.2-litre diesel produces 145kW @ 3800rpm and 445Nm @ 1800-2500rpm when partnered with the automatic, both significant increases over the previous 2.5 liter engine, but more importantly clearly ahead of many competitors in this segment of the market. The engine meets Euro 5 emission regulations and has claimed combined fuel consumption figures of 7.4L/100km for the automatic and 6.6L/100km for the manual.


Diesel particulates (soot) are trapped by the filter to help reduce air pollution (and ultimately lung related health issues) created by the combustion process, especially at high temperatures such as those found in a diesel engine. No doubt it will be fitted eventually, we certainly hope sooner rather than later.

The new four-wheel drive system is permanently on demand and in most driving conditions will power the front wheels only until it senses slippery conditions at which time drive is automatically feed to the rear. The system can also be locked into a 50:50 four-wheel drive mode for more extreme conditions. This will automatically disconnect once a predetermined road speed is reached.

In place of the previous more complicated low range gearing the new Sorento R four-wheel-drive models have Hill Descent Control which reduces the downhill momentum to a safe 8km/h and Hill Start Assist which prevents the vehicle rolling back on a slope.

In another first, the Sorento R will be available in front-wheel-drive only, for those who want the practicality of a 7-seater but don't have a need for 4WD.

In keeping with the crossover theme McPherson strut suspension is used in the front and a new fully independent multi-link system replacing the old live rear axle. In our recent press drive the Sorento R provided a comfortable and capable experience.
