Kia Sorento wins ‘Large SUV’ category at 2020 Moto Awards Plebiscite The Moto Awards Plebiscite are voted for by readers of Auto Świat; considered one of the most prestigious accolades in the Polish automotive industry Kia’s high-tech new-generation SUV wins top prize in the second edition of the Polish ‘Car of the Year’ competition
The all-new Kia Sorento’s first Polish triumph came in the form of the highly coveted 2021 Polish ‘Car of the Year’ awards. The high-tech, new-generation SUV beat fierce competition to take victory, becoming Kia’s second successive victor following the Kia XCeed’s triumph at the first edition of the Polish ‘Car of the Year’ competition in 2020.
The Polish jury, which includes 21 of Poland’s leading automotive journalists, was particularly impressed with the SUV’s combination of functionality, safety, driving dynamics, ergonomics, advanced technology and value for money. The judges also recognised that the new Sorento, which is the first vehicle based on Kia’s new mid-size SUV architecture, accommodates state-of-the-art electrified powertrains, resulting in greater fuel efficiency, lower emissions and better performance than its predecessors and rivals. The new platform also allows for a larger vehicle body to maximise cargo and luggage space and makes the Sorento one of the most versatile and spacious three-row SUVs on the road.
