Popular Sorento SUV is now available for a limited time with $3,400 worth of extra equipment that makes Sorento perfect for your next trip, whether it’s circumnavigating the world or just going away for the weekend. The new limited edition Sorento Global Circuit pack is available through Kia dealers across Australia from July to October this year.
The limited edition Sorento Global Circuit pack, with a retail value of $3,400, adds 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.
“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,” said Bill Gillespie, Director of Sales and Marketing at Kia Motors Australia.
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
Priced similarly to many compact SUVs, the new Sorento range offers real 4WD capability, best-in-class towing capacity of 2,800kg, and the choice in all grades of an efficient 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.
Sorento features a ladder-frame construction and a dual-range transfer case 4WD system – serious 4WD credentials when most competitors offer only ’soft-roader’ torque-split 4WD systems.
Sorento has been a global success story for Kia since it was launched late in 2002, with more than 750,000 sold around the world, and continues to rack up awards around the globe. [Source: Kia Australia]

I’m really impressed by its sales. More than 750.000 Sorentos sold across the world in six years, that’s a huge sales success for Kia!
And I can already imagine similar news about the Soul or Forte. I’m pretty sure Forte will pass a million mark in less than five years from now.

Anyone have part numbers for these accessories? Especially the running boards, they are a nice feature. Much better than the black ones here in US
