Kia Sorento KX2 auto 2016, caravan unsteady.

I had two of the original Sorento's both autos but the second one did not have self levelling suspension and I never felt that was as steady on the road towing as the original with SLS. I assume you have checked your noseweight? I would get that as near to the allowed maximum as I could.

Have a kx2 manual self leveling suspension late 14 plate have had the same problem with my kia. I pull a 1460 Kg van no where as good as the 2.5 model before this one. The only thing I can suggest raise tyre pressure to 36psi go to full noseeight witch on my kia is 100kg reduce the amount of stuff in the rear of your van to the center or put inside your car. Best of luck Kenny.G.

Thanks for both replies we are going to check nose weight again and get it to 100kg and try putting awning over the axle in van.

once again guys thanks for taking the time to reply.

 What's the difference in weight between the Jeep & the Kia? I suspect the Kia is much lighter 

The jeep weighs in at about 2183 Kg kia weight is adout 1919 Kg 260 Kg difference suppose it can make a big difference but I think the kia sorentos suspension isn't up to much.

Thanks for your reply I think you are right, the Jeep was a tank and would tow like it was solo so just have to get the loading correct.

for what it's worth my Sorento has SLS and have had no problems towing out 1600Kg caravan, I have however found it a much better towcar than the one before in terms of power 

We changed an Insignia SRi for a 15 Sorento KX2 and felt the Insignia was a better drive with a 1550 van behind.

As suggested the nose weight has a big effect I think with the SLS fitted.

There is a Kia owners web site with similar questions/comments posted.

As cornsteady said a lot moor power but still twitchy. 

well Kenny I've not personally found that's its twitchy at all? and CCC and Practical Caravan video reviews gives it a good wright up? Maybe down to loading?
