KIA Sorento gas consumption from DriverNotes. Kia Sorento: fuel consumption data (diesel, gasoline) Consumption Kia Sorento 2.4 mechanics

5.04.2018

The fuel consumption of the Kia Sorento is a topic that worries the owners of this car, as well as motorists who decide to purchase it. Sorento is a full-fledged crossover with all the attributes of an SUV, which began its history in 2002. Since then, the model has undergone many changes, and has also changed several generations. However, throughout the evolution, for connoisseurs of the brand, several modifications of engines were offered to choose from, consuming both gasoline and diesel fuel. Wide spectrum power plants allowed the buyer to independently choose what is more important for him - frisky acceleration and the amount Horse power or savings.

Generations of Kia Sorento and engine modifications

The first generation Sorento was produced from 2002 to 2009. In 2006, the model was restyled. During this period, the cars were equipped with engines that consumed gasoline with a volume of 2.4, 3.3, 3.5, as well as diesel, with a volume of 2.0, 2.2, 2.5 liters, respectively. Such a wide range of engines was somewhat narrowed down to the release of the second modification (from 2009 to 2014). Of the previously proposed options, the Russian market received cars equipped with 2.4, 3.3 and 3.5 liter gasoline engines, as well as 2.0 and 2.2 liter diesel units. Another change of generations took place in 2014, where updated engines were supplied along with restyled bodies. And although the range and volumes remained the same, their performance has changed significantly, including fuel consumption. Currently, the most common diesel engines in the secondary market are 2.5, 2.2 and 2.0 liters, as well as 2.4 liter gasoline engines.

Petrol modifications

The power of atmospheric gasoline engines directly depends on the displacement. For the most running engine V2.4 l. it was 139 hp. until 2009 and 175 hp after. The old V 3.3 liter engines produced 248 hp, the new ones -250 hp. At the same time, a larger engine of 3.5 liters produced only 195 hp, and 3.8 liters - 262 hp.

It is not difficult to guess that with an increase in the volume and power of the engine, fuel consumption also increases. In addition, this figure varies depending on the transmission and the number of drive wheels. The consumption of Kia Sorento 2.4 according to the manufacturer's data is approximately 8-5-8.9 l / 100 km in mixed mode. The presence of all-wheel drive and automatic transmission will further increase it.

In general, the basic indicators of the average amount of Kia Sorento gasoline consumed per 100 km can be seen in the list below:

2.4, manual transmission, 2WD - 8.5;
2.4, automatic transmission, 2WD - 8.8;
3.3, automatic transmission, 4WD - 10.8;
3.5, automatic transmission, 4WD - 12.6;
3.8, automatic transmission, 4WD - 14.5.

At the same time, these indicators are just figures given out by test cars at a special stand. IN real conditions fuel consumption of all the above modifications significantly exceeds the declared norms. Equipping a car with an automated gearbox adds at least 1.5–2 liters per 100 km to the initial figures, instead of 0.2 liters declared by the manufacturer.

Kia Sorento GT-Line, among other things, is a fairly efficient car in terms of the amount of gasoline burned

Reviews from real owners indicate that the most common 2.4-liter engine. on the machine and all-wheel drive consumes at least 13 liters of gasoline per hundred kilometers per summer period and about 15 in winter.

Engines larger than 3 liters, according to the most conservative estimates, consume from 15 to 28 liters, depending on operating conditions and driving style. Such motors are difficult to find on the market precisely because of their "gluttony". The “good appetite” of gasoline engines is most noticeable in an urban environment, as well as when driving in traffic jams. In addition, the old Kia Sorento automatic transmissions in the first generation, which had 4-5 gears each, cannot be called economical, forcing the car to constantly move at high speeds. The fuel consumption of a car equipped with such a transmission paired with a displacement naturally aspirated engine was rarely less than 15-18 l / 100 km in mixed mode. Fortunately, modern versions of the Sorento are equipped with more advanced and economical boxes, which has a positive effect on efficiency.

What about diesel?

Diesel engines of Kia Sorento 2 and 3 modifications look more economical in terms of fuel consumption. But until 2006, the most common engine was the 2.5 liter DCR with 140 hp. After restyling, the engine of the same volume with the designation CRDi was already capable of delivering 170 hp. Since 2009, CRDi 2.0l and 2.2l engines have been supplied to Russia, the power of which was 184 hp. and 197 hp respectively. The same working volumes have been preserved for more recent versions of the car.

The manufacturer of the brand declared diesel consumption to be much more modest than that of gasoline, and looked like this:

DCR 2.5 - 8.5;
CRDi 2.5 - 10;
CRDi 2.0 - 6.6;
CRDi 2.2 - 6.8.

Despite the fact that, according to the technical data sheets, diesel consumption looks quite acceptable, the responses of real owners still indicate that the real figures are somewhat higher. At the same time, if the diesel Sorento II and III can be conditionally called economical cars, it is difficult to draw such a conclusion about the Sorento I, whose owners complained about the consumption of diesel fuel within 20 liters in the combined cycle (DCR 2.5 engine).

Common diesel engine Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDi 16V

Front-wheel drive cars were equipped with 2.0-liter engines, and their real numbers fit into 10-11 liters, more frisky 2.2, according to some reviews, did not exceed 15 liters per hundred. Equipping a car with all-wheel drive and automatic transmission also increases the appetite of a diesel engine by an average of 2 liters. Thus, the energy efficiency of a diesel crossover looks very good. Perhaps in this regard, heavy fuel Sorentos are in great demand in the Russian market.

Real owner reviews about fuel consumption on the Kia Sorento:

2.4 petrol engine, manual

Too much fuel consumption for such a clumsy car with a capacity of 2.4 liters. IN winter time years, these figures exceed 19.8 liters per 100 km. It's too much for such a car. In the summer, on the highway at a speed of 126-128 km, about 14.3 liters are obtained. I am dissatisfied with such consumption, I am thinking about changing cars.

Personally, I was pleasantly surprised by the economical fuel consumption of the Kia Sorento 2, despite good engine with a volume of 2.4 liters. In the city, 11 liters per 100 km is enough for me. This is just an excellent indicator of consumption, so I proudly recommend this car to everyone.

Petrol engine 3.5, automatic transmission

Just a huge consumption of gasoline in the city on a 3.5 liter engine. Even without traffic jams, it takes me almost 21 liters per 100 km of the distance traveled. Of course, engine power is pleasantly pleasing, but the exorbitant consumption of gasoline crosses out all the pluses, this is too much consumption for this car.

Fuel consumption on the highway is pleasant, as it is only 10.2 liters per 100 kilometers. In the city, the figures are slightly increasing, but still do not cease to please. I think that the consumption of gasoline in the city at 12.4-13.2 liters is quite normal and even economical for an engine with a volume of 3.5. I myself read the reviews before buying, but I did not think that he would please me so much.

Diesel engine 2.5, automatic transmission

The real fuel consumption for Kia Sorento 2 in the city is only 11.8-12.3l. These figures are more than satisfactory for me on a 2.5 liter diesel engine. Unfortunately, I didn’t measure it on the track, but I don’t think that there will be a deplorable picture. I am very satisfied with the consumption of diesel fuel in my car.

Solar oil leaves rather neatly and modestly. The real fuel consumption for the Kia Sorento pleases me, since 10.3l is enough for a hundred. And this is in the city during rush hour. The appetite of a car with a 2.5 liter engine is just great. Diesel as always surprises me. All the same, reviews are a useful thing.

I drive constantly in a mixed cycle, and diesel fuel consumption in the city usually does not exceed 11.4 liters per 100 km of the road traveled. Such a car is absolutely suitable for me in all respects, it was not in vain that I took this diesel engine.

Diesel engine 2.2, mileage 187 thousand km

It was very interesting for me to measure the real fuel consumption in the city myself. It turned out that for a hundred kilometers traveled, 10.2-11.8l was enough for me. You can independently determine the economy of this consumption, but I am more than satisfied with such figures. I have a 2.2 liter engine automatic transmission transmission, diesel

After the acquisition, I could not figure out the consumption of diesel fuel, since the number 8.7 liters was indicated in the passport data, no more. In practice, my consumption rate in the city was as much as 12.3 liters per 100 km. I couldn't figure out why until I was in another country with clear speed limits of 90 km/h. And then my consumption rate dropped to the promised 8l. Now I can say with confidence that the fuel consumption in this car with a 2.2 engine is quite economical.

Engine 2.2, gearbox - automatic

For me, this fuel consumption on the Kia Sorento is too high. I think that 14.3 liters in the city is a bit much. I would like to shorten it, but so far I have not been able to do this on a 2.2 liter engine.

As it turned out, fuel consumption in this car decreases with a set of mileage. After I scored 5500 km, diesel consumption has become 15% less. But I still think that for such a car, the appetite could be somewhat more economical.

Kia Sorento II

Petrol engine 2.4, automatic transmission

Gasoline consumption can be called moderate. On the highway, you can reach a mark of 10.4 liters per 100 km. For me, this is normal, so the machine is very happy. By the way, what fuel consumption is considered normal for a Kia Sorento?

Petrol engine 2.4, mechanics

I was very pleased not only with the fuel consumption of the Kia Sorento, but also with the fact that the engine happily eats 92nd gasoline. In winter, gasoline consumption in the city is slightly higher than summer figures, 13.4l, but still it suits me perfectly.

I'm just shocked by such consumption of gasoline. I always knew that passport data is a little different from practice, but this just horrified me. Fuel consumption is large, the city exceeds 19.7l. This is simply unacceptable! Such a merciless "zhor" in this car is a clear minus.

Hello everyone ... I will continue the story about the miracle of the Korean automobile industry ... albeit a shabby one, on lousy tires Nordman SUV)))

In Tula (like in Moscow time too) it’s been sweeping for two days ... snow on the roads, they clean it badly, on the middle row of three-lane roads (in both directions) there is swept snow ... in general, a standard local road in Russia)))

Yesterday Tula was completely skidded, the streets were not cleaned, I left work .. and a real struggle with the car began ... ESP works very rudely, four-wheel drive it doesn’t turn on, the car doesn’t drive from the word at all ... it doesn’t skid, it doesn’t drive .... in general, I spat after 15 minutes of torment .. and turned off the ESP nafig ... and lo and behold ... the car drove off ... friends .. I don’t know what it is .. but damn it, after a couple of three experiments on the front-wheel drive, I managed to drive this car with enthusiasm))) yes, I remembered my youth ... and about entering a turn under power (fortunately in Tula it’s very a lot of circles))) and turn back on the spot)))) in general, I felt this car)))

How really different is the driving style of front-wheel drive from rear-wheel drive ... these are generally two different lives from different planets ... in the back it's more natural ... there you let go of the gas to skid and the car stabilizes .. you just need to literally put the car into a turn and add gas ... i.e. to level the car you have to go with the gas just below the gas at this speed

it’s not so on the Front ... here you need to discard fear .. and put pressure on the gas .. bulging your eyes ... yes, without ESP the car is more stable ... what is it? bad job ESP? Or is it the features of the ESP on the front drive? without ESP it is much more pleasant to ride on it, you feel exactly how the trajectory of the car changes to work with the gas pedal .. but it went over a little .. and drags your face to the side of the road ... yes .. without ESP it is possible to pull out the car ... by the way, without ESP and rubber works better ..... but it still slows down much worse than Hakki8 ....

In general, I am in some shock ... I had cars on the front-wheel drive with ESP .. but there it worked differently ... but here it jams everything in the bud ... perhaps this is due to the fact that the four-wheel drive does not work. ..those. in theory, the ESP disturbs the slipping of the front axle, trying to transfer to the rear one ... but there is no rear one .. so the car drives incomprehensibly how ...

I sat down and drove off ... before leaving, I reset the fuel consumption

I was driving calmly along the road for a maximum of 100 km / h ... overtaking a couple of times ... I arrived (it was somewhere around 60-65 km)

here is the cost..

Yes, I remember .. that I promised not to write about Takha's consumption anymore .... but !!! this is still a record about Sorento))))))) ... and, damn it .. I just can’t help but write ... two days ago, I was driving exactly the same road in the Tula region on Takhe .. about the same mode, because it was slippery ... no more than 100 km / h .. a couple of times overtaking a ride ....

The Korean gasoline engine .. really eats like crazy .. for nothing that the 92nd gasoline ... but, damn it ... 177 horses 11.7 liters ... against 400 horses and 11.5 liters ... how is it? ????

Kia Sorento has been known in Russia since 2002. During this time, this SUV has a lot of fans. Latest restyling model range passed in 2014, and the current version of the Sorento is simply incredibly convenient and comfortable, as reputable auto magazines and TV channels have repeatedly stated. The manufacturer introduced 2 engines and 2 transmissions for this car.

Owner reviews

George, Moscow. I bought a Sorento to replace the Kia Sportage, the car is just heaven and earth when compared, although the Sorento is of a completely different class, the consumption in the city comes out more - about 12 liters.
Dmitry, Ryazan. I've been driving for six months, while I like everything, the consumption for such a machine and volume is just excellent.
Pavel, Sochi. I took it a couple of months ago, the consumption in the city is at least 15 liters, I don’t know how the rest fit into 12.
Sergei, Gdansk. I took a gasoline one, I thought it would be a high appetite, but everything turned out to be not bad, it pulls only 7 liters on the highway, but this is with the air conditioner turned off.
Leonid, Kaliningrad. I have been driving it for about a year, in principle, the consumption is excellent, in total 13 liters are spent in the city.

Kia Sorento 2.2 MT+AT diesel

Fuel consumption rate per 100 km

The diesel engine was created specifically for the Kia Sorento, its power is 197 hp. Consumption, according to the manufacturer, is not so low for such an engine: in the urban cycle, no more than 9 liters, on the highway in the region of 5.

Real consumption

Peter, Nikolaevsk. I bought a mechanic for myself, of course I always liked the diesel more, but it simply does not start at a temperature of -20 degrees. Consumption in the city is only 9 liters.
Dmitry, Pyatigorsk. The car suits everything, I only regret that I took a weak engine. He, of course, is not bad and economical, but it does not matter to me.
Boris, Moscow. I took it for trips out of town, the road to the house is very bad, but the car copes with any difficulties. Consumption on the track just 5-6 liters, a fairy tale and not a car!
Gennady, Ivanovo. I've been driving for 3 months now, I still don't understand the flow, sometimes a lot, sometimes a little, an average of 10 liters in a city without a Conder.
Eugene, Petropavlovsk. I drive a work car, the Sorento is just super, but it costs a lot of money, I would not buy one for myself because of the fuel consumption. Large consumption — 11 liters in the city.

Kia Sorento 3.5 AT

Official Information

The top motor is installed on the luxury version of the car. The power of this engine is 276 hp. Consumption according to the declared characteristics of the manufacturer in the urban cycle - 9.4 liters, on the highway - in the region of 6.

Gasoline consumption

Philip, Moscow. I bought a luxury version, it is expensive for a Korean, but the car justifies itself, the consumption in the city is only 10 liters with cooling turned on.
Yakov, Vologda. I bought it and am simply shocked that a gasoline engine can eat so little gasoline.
Anton, Izhevsk. I've been riding for about a year, the car is just great, the consumption is generally 10 liters in the city with such and such a volume.
Efim, Moscow. I took it for my wife, she does not drive almost, I fill it every couple of months, the consumption is excellent.
Cyril Samara. Just a super car, consumption is very small for such a powerful engine, in the city of 9 liters, no more.

This car has earned immense popularity among the wealthy segments of the population, especially after the onset of the crisis, because the car began to be bought up even more.

The first appearance of a middle-class SUV was noted in 2002, after which it became one of the most attractive among motorists in many countries. The car was upgraded in 2006, 2009 produced the 2nd generation of Kia Sorento. In 2012, manufacturers completed the next stage of modernization, the appearance of the 3rd generation was noted in 2014. The Hyundai Santa Fe SUV, which is considered the main competitor of the Kia Sorento, was taken as the basis for this car.

The average fuel consumption of the Kia Sorento ranges from 7.7 liters to 12.9 liters per hundred, depending on the configuration. For Kia Sorento, fuel consumption per 100 km is comparable to SUV brands from other well-known manufacturers. The power units for this car can run on gasoline and diesel fuel.

First generation Sorento

It is rare that a car buyer is not interested in the car's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. This fully applies to this SUV. I would like to immediately note the fact that the average fuel consumption of the Sorento is small, about 8 liters for a trip of 100 km. This indicator depends on the type, working volume of the motor that is installed on the machine. For the first generation, manufacturers used two gasoline engines, these are 2.4 MT, 3.5 AT, as well as a 2.5d AT + MT diesel power unit. What consumption is real consumption can be seen in the table:

After the restyling of this model in 2006, the power readings of the power units have changed. They began to install gasoline engines with a working volume of 3300 cm3 and 3500 cm3. Their power became equal to 248 and 262 hp, respectively. The diesel engine began to develop 170 hp. Fuel consumption for gasoline engines has become equal (l / 100 km):

In the city 14.2.
Route 8.9.
Mixed trips will require up to 12.

For diesel engine (l/100 km):

11 in the city.
Route up to 10.
Mixed cycle 7.3.

Second generation

In 2009, motorists Russian Federation were able to see and purchase the second generation Kia Sorento. To complete it, it was planned to manufacture and install five models of power units. Among them are two models of engines for diesel fuel, three gasoline engines. For such a Kia Corento, fuel consumption depends on the engine model, its working volume. Specific figures can be found in the table.

Fuel consumption Kia Sorento second generation:

The 2.4 gasoline engine is the most underpowered for this generation. For lovers of an “aggressive” driving style, it is not enough, but for trips out of town, fishing, to the country house as part of a family, it is quite enough, fuel consumption will be optimal.

Restyling of the second modification

Kia engineers did not sit idly by, but were engaged in further modification of the SUV. In 2012, the restyling of the second generation Kia Corento appeared before motorists. The changes affected almost the entire car, both the appearance and other components, assemblies, including the engine.

For the regions of the Russian Federation and the CIS countries, two types of power units are installed on the Kia Sorento, this is a gasoline engine with a working volume of 2400 cm3, as well as diesel variant engine displacement of which is equal to 2200 cm3.

Cars with diesel engines are available with all-wheel drive. Petrol options can be front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Gasoline consumption depends on the drive, all-wheel drive will require large quantity fuel, on average from 8.6 to 8.8 l / 100 km. The fuel consumption rate of a Kia Sorento with a gasoline engine, according to manufacturers, is (l / per hundred):

Urban travel conditions 11.9.
Mixed type of trips will require up to 10.
Outside the city on the highway only 6.7.

For diesel modifications, they will be as follows (l / 100 km):

City 8.8.
Mixed travel.
On the highway 5.4.

third generation

In 2015, the world of motorists saw the third generation of Kia Sorento, for Russia they added the prefix Prime. For the most part, the changes affected both gasoline and diesel engines. Diesels with the same working volume of 2.0 and 2.2 liters became more powerful, and gasoline 3.5 liter ones began to have a smaller working volume and power. There are such indicators about the appetite of the Kia Sorento Prime engines. The official data on the consumption of gasoline engines are as follows (l / 100):

City 11.3.
The track requires 7.0.
Mixed cycle 8.6.

For Kia 5 diesel, the indicators are somewhat different (l / 100 km):

In the city 7.2.
On the highway 6.1.
In the combined cycle 7.9.

Kia Corento owner reviews

For the Kia Sorento car, owner reviews are available in in large numbers. They affect all released generations of this model, including restyling. They talk about cars bought in the salon and on the secondary market, the whole range of power units is covered. The owners of the Kia crossover share their impressions about the car, talk about the real fuel consumption of the car.

Generation 1

Stepan, Vladimir purchased a car in the showroom at the end of 2003. I am using an SUV for the first time. The engine is 2.4 liters, automatic transmission 4 speeds gasoline AI 92. I am satisfied with the machine, I serve it myself in the post-warranty period. The average consumption is about 15 liters per hundred. In winter, consumption increases, mileage is more than 200 thousand km. The figures are honest generation justified itself.
Nikolay, Podolsk. I changed the Niva to the beushny Kia Sorento, which I do not regret at all. I have been using the car for over 5 years. A car with a 2.3-liter engine performs well both in the city and on rough terrain. Depending on the operating conditions, the consumption ranges from 7 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers. Most often in the combined cycle 8 l / 100 km.

Generation 2

Svetlana from St. Petersburg. Kia Sorento was presented by her husband after the birth of her son in 2012, restyling. I make trips around the city, on weekends to the village to the country. Used fuel 2.2 liter engine 92 gasoline. About 10 liters are spent in the city, no more than 8 liters on the highway. Until it broke down, scheduled maintenance was carried out in a car service.
Sergey, Tula, purchased an SUV in the cabin in the fall of 2014. Gasoline engine, automatic front-wheel drive. It seems to me that the consumption is too big for an automatic transmission, I already regret that I did not opt for a diesel engine. The city eats almost 18 liters of fuel per hundred. The dynamics of the car is excellent, I love the speed, which is probably why the high consumption. This is my second car, but I'm using an SUV for the first time.

3rd generation

Sergey, Kemerovo. It has long dreamed of buying an SUV, and now this moment has come. I bought a Kia Corento Prime in the salon in the spring of 2015 with a 2.2-liter diesel engine. Mileage during operation is more than 150 thousand km. Trips take place in the most different conditions, so the fuel consumption differs from that indicated in the operating instructions. On a circle it turns out about 10-11 liters per hundred.
Vladimir, Sverdlovsk. At work, my Kia Sorento drives 150 km a day, sometimes even more. Trips are most often away from the city, so in the combined cycle 2 diesel diesel fuel consumes 12 liters per hundred.
