Kia Sorento
Kia’s Sorento often gets overlooked in a segment hogged by the Toyota Fortuner and Ford Everest, but it’s got a trick up its sleeve. Seven seats, not just for show, but genuinely usable for families who need the space. At the moment, every Sorento on offer is second-hand – not a single new one in sight – and prices are all over the map: from R154,500 for a 2014 to nearly R520,000 for a fresh-faced 2023. Median price? R261,450. On paper at least, that’s solid value considering the Sorento’s spec and cabin space. The range stretches from 2.2-litre diesels (by far the most popular) to 2.4 and 2.2 petrols, and you’ll almost always find an automatic, though there’s the odd manual if you look hard enough. You’ll notice the 2.2D LX A/T dominates used listings, with prices from R263,900 to R399,500 depending on how many Gauteng school runs it’s done. That diesel-auto duo is what the Sorento should have been from the start, because it pairs the right torque with family-hauler comfort. Even the top-dog 2.2D SXL AWD is available, clocking in at R519,500. Yes, average mileage is 128,089 km, but that's to be expected given how long these have been on the road. What really sets it apart from the Fortuner? You get a softer, more car-like ride and a plush, well-trimmed interior—no pickup-truck bones here. If you’re after something that actually feels like a modern SUV on Joburg tar, the Sorento’s a smarter bet—though you’ll sacrifice a bit of resale muscle for the privilege.
Kia
Kia’s carved out a space in South Africa that’s equal parts sensible and strategic. It’s not aiming for plush status, but rather for that sweet spot where first-time buyers and upwardly mobile families both see value. With 126 live listings stretching from a wallet-friendly R71,500 to a frankly ambitious R869,950, the median at R229,900 tells you where the real action sits: sub-R350k, right where South African practicality meets monthly budgets. Most of what’s on offer is pre-owned, and that’s a good sign — it means Kias move in numbers big enough to stock the used market, which only happens when a brand’s found its groove here. Forget luxury badges; Kia’s banking on being the cleverer buy, and in this crowd — think Hyundai, Toyota, Suzuki — that matters. On paper at least, the Picanto is Kia’s bread-and-butter city hatch, and it needs to be sharp to take on the Suzuki Swift on sheer price. There are 32 Picantos from R71,500, proving it’s the real entry ticket. The Sportage, meanwhile, spans the widest price gulf (R135,900 to R549,900), thanks to everything from dated 2.0-litre petrols to the latest turbocharged crossovers. Rio’s for those who need a bit more hatch space without going full SUV, while the Seltos (R249,000–R499,990) is the new kid wedged between Picanto thrift and Sportage ambition. Eight K2700 single-cabs make a cameo, because Kia’s not just about commuters — it does honest bakkies too. Petrol dominates, diesel pops up mostly in bigger stuff, and the trim walk is refreshingly no-nonsense. It’s what the lineup should have been from the start.
