The 2021 Kia Sorento crossover finds a new look but the same mission: it’s the smaller hauler compared to the Telluride.
PROS Better style Available hybrid powertrains Bigger interior Telluride’s looks
CONS What’s with the door tooth? Is the second row more comfortable? Not appreciably bigger
The all-new Sorento is expected to make its debut at the Geneva auto show in March. Disguised and undisguised spy photos and several official images of the Kia have given us a pretty good idea of what to expect from the redesigned mid-size crossover. Its boxier proportions and bolder styling mark a stark departure from the curvier and softer appearance of the current Sorento. The Korean automaker has also said that the next-gen model will ride on an all-new platform that helps make it bigger inside and out. It will also feature a hybrid powertrain as well as an eventual plug-in variant.
T-Cross offers just enough over a Polo to make it worth thinking about.
Pros Spacious and agreeable to drive Different to a Polo, Refined enough
Cons Less refined and more expensive than the car it’s based on. Low quality interior
The VW T-Cross is a compact yet roomy SUV which comes with loads of standard equipment. It doesn’t look as dramatic or feel quite as comfortable as some alternatives.
Pros Big boot Lots of passenger space Loads of standard equipment
Cons Noisy at speed Materials feel a bit cheap Alternatives look more exciting
The Volkswagen T-Cross is one of the class leaders in the small SUV sector.
PROS
