I still remember the first time Sorento came to our market back in 2004/2005 when it was promoted by Andre Agassi globally. The base model was 4x2 that launched with an SRP of 995k php.

Never got the chance to own it as when we wanted to order it that time, color was out of stock and they wanted to push the higher more expensive trim. We ended up purchasing an Innova 2.0G MT instead of similar price point.

Ive always preferred Kia Sorento's packaginf over the Hyundai Sta Fe. Heck, i think ive always preferred Kias over Hyundais.

Though the current Sorentos are no longer at practical price points I'd consider, i kind of understand why and the packaging has improved/evolved over the years as well.
