Kia Sorento Global Circuit


Despite the escalating cost of petrol, Aussie car buyers have not shied away from SUVs, in particular, the medium-sized 4WD variety according to the VFACTS figures for June 2008.

Korean car maker Kia is doing its bit to help continue this trend by releasing a limited edition of its popular Sorento mid-sized SUV. The Global Circuit edition Kia Sorento draws its inspiration from Swedish adventurer Christer Gerlach who used the SUV for his 2005 solo circumnavigation of the world.


The limited edition Sorento Global Circuit pack, features $3,400 worth of extra equipment including a towbar with wiring, nudge bar, roof bar set, genuine tailored carpet mats, rear parking sensors, alloy side steps, rubber cargo mat, ARB recovery kit and unique Global Circuit badging - at no extra cost.

Bill Gillespie, Director of Sales and Marketing at Kia Motors Australia said: "In Australia, Sorento appeals to buyers who want 4WD capability, strong towing capacity, comprehensive equipment, outstanding value and the confidence of a 5-year unlimited kilometre warranty.

"Sorento now offers a choice of 2.5-litre common rail diesel or 3.3-litre V6 petrol engine, with lower running costs and emissions, renowned quality and higher levels of safety.

"This limited edition Global Circuit pack recognises the significance of his achievements by bringing together some of the equipment most sought by Sorento customers who want to undertake their own big adventure.

"Best of all, this equipment comes at no extra cost - it's a great deal."


The Global Circuit pack is available across the Sorento range including both the 3.3-litre petrol V6 engine producing 180kW or the new, torquey 2.5-litre turbo-diesel with common rail direct injection (CRDi) producing 125kW.

The new limited edition Sorento Global Circuit pack is on sale now until October this year.
