Kia Sorento Hybrid review: A fuelish decision

RISING fuel prices got you down? Let the Kia Sorento Hybrid lift those sagging spirits. It's a big car with 7 seats, yet it sips less petrol than a Toyota Corolla. And it's actually nice.

Start with a BMW X5, subtract some of the surefootedness and pretty much all the prestige, and you're left with the Sorento, along with S$200,000 that you can either spend on wine, women and song, or squander.

If anything, it's hard to imagine that nearly half the S$216,999 price tag is for the certificate of entitlement alone, because the remainder (roughly half of which is for taxes) buys so much car.
