Can the KIA Sorento MQ4 1.6 T-GDI Plug-in-Hybrid Platinum AWD Automatik also be used off-road? Here usually a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. Wanting to go into real off-road it needs more than just an all-wheel drive. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many models that look off-road capable but have limited capability to do so.

The KIA Sorento has all-wheel drive, which means that the basic requirement is already met. Ground clearance, another important criterion, is 174 mm for this vehicle. This allows it to move forward even in hilly terrain and, for example, on muddy paths in the forest without sitting up, assuming all-wheel drive.

The integrated 360-degree camera can also help you move forward on rough terrain and avoid damage.

Rating: The KIA Sorento has all-wheel drive as well as acceptable ground clearance. Occasional off-road excursions are no problem. However, it is not a real off-road vehicle.
