The new top specced Sorento diesel comes with the 2.2 CRDi engine which produces 200 PS and 440 Nm of torque, the engine is mated with a six-speed automatic transmission.You've seen this in the low end variant Sorento when it was first launched some months ago.

I do believe NAZA Kia has now answered the lack of a high end Sorento diesel with this new variant and also answered another question as to the lack of a torquey diesel for the Sportage. Of course, now I am hearing affordability issues from some people as to the price(s). Aiyoh. You can't win 'em all sometimes. But kudos to Naza Kia for bringing in these models quickly.
