1. Safety

The Kia Sorento comes with exceptional safety features that are designed to provide maximum safety for the driver and passengers. Effective safety systems include Intelligent Vehicle Stability Control (ESC), which helps keep the vehicle stable while driving, and anti-lock braking system (ABS), which enhances emergency braking power.

As for passive safety, the Kia Sorento is equipped with multiple airbags that include front, side and curtain airbags, which ensures minimal danger during a collision. The car also has a durable steel chassis with deformation-resistant areas to improve the car's absorption capacity upon impact.

2. The cost of buying a car

Prices for a new Kia Sorento in the UAE start at around AED 115,000. If you make a down payment of 20% (AED 23,000) and the monthly installments continue for 60 months with an interest rate of 1.9%, the monthly installment will be approximately AED 1,813.

Regarding the residual value of the car, the data indicate that the Sorento retains its value quite well. For example, a three-year-old Sorento in good condition can be sold for an average price of about AED 75,000, which means that the car retains about 65% of its original value, which is a strong indicator of its economics as a long-term investment.

3. The cost of using the car

The Kia Sorento has an efficient engine that makes it fuel-efficient. With an average consumption of about 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers, if we assume that you drive 15,000 kilometers per year in the UAE, with an average fuel cost (the price of gasoline is about 3.3 dirhams per liter), the annual fuel cost is about 3,861 dirhams, equivalent to about 322 dirhams per month.

For maintenance, Kia offers regular maintenance cycles often every 10,000 km, with an average annual maintenance cost ranging from AED 1,200 to AED 1,800. This makes the car one of the most economical options in everyday use, with low operating costs compared to many other cars in the same class.
