Question 1

Which new Kia models are available with a diesel engine?

Accepted Answer

Only the Sorento, with a 2.2 CRDi engine of 190 bhp. Kia's other new models in the UK are petrol, hybrid or electric.

Question 2

Should I choose the new Kia Sorento diesel or hybrid?

Accepted Answer

The diesel suits long motorway journeys and towing, while the hybrid and plug-in hybrid use less fuel in town. Every new Sorento is automatic with all-wheel drive.

Question 3

How much road tax does a new Kia Sorento diesel pay?

Accepted Answer

The first year is set by its CO₂ emissions, and a diesel meeting the RDE2 standard pays the same rate as a petrol car. From the second year it pays £200, plus £440 in years two to six when the list price was over £40,000.

Question 4

Is a new Kia diesel ULEZ compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every new diesel meets Euro 6, so the Sorento can drive in London's ULEZ without paying the daily charge.
