Following our earlier report of the all-new 2021 Kia Grand Carnival heading to Indonesia, we have also learnt that it'll be joined by the all-new 2021 Kia Sorento as well.

Indonesia is the second country to receive the fourth-generation Sorento in the

Earlier, we’ve established that if you want to buy a new car in Malaysian without tax, get a pick-up truck. But what about pick-up trucks that offer the best RM-per-PS ratio?
