KIA Sorento MQ4 2.2 CRDi Platinum AWD DCT8 - Towing vehicle

Is a KIA Sorento MQ4 2.2 CRDi Platinum AWD DCT8 a good towing vehicle?

KIA Sorento MQ4  2.2 CRDi Platinum AWD DCT8

You want to use the KIA Sorento also as a towing vehicle for trailers? In order to answer this question the automobile must be considered from all points of view, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

With a towing capacity of 2500 kg, the KIA Sorento is a real workhorse. For him, there is hardly anything that you can not pull, at most a full-grown sailboat.
The torque is at the KIA Sorento decisive for acceleration even under load - the more torque the better!

. Torque is available at 440 Nm, which is already a decent value and guarantees that you won't have any problems getting off the mark as a rule. If you want to take the trailer off-road, all-wheel drive is absolutely essential. On surfaces where you would otherwise have no problems, the additional weight of the trailer quickly becomes noticeable and a real problem. It's a good thing that this car distributes the power over all four wheels.

However, this deal does not yet include trailer coupling and must be ordered in addition.

Evaluation - is the KIA Sorento suitable as a towing vehicle?: The automobile can pull trailers with up to 2500 kg own weight . It can thereby be set to a maximum torque of 440 Nm access. The KIA Sorento is therefore very suitable for just about all typical towing loads in the private sector. Horse trailers with one horse (or two if necessary) are no problem. Please note that you may need a driver's license B96 or even BE / class 3 here. However, this particular offer is an immediately available vehicle that does not have a trailer hitch installed. It is therefore not suitable for use in trailer operation. However, this motor vehicle may be available as an order vehicle with trailer hitch, so be sure to also check new vehicle offers on our website.
