The Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDi is a larger SUV diesel platform, often approached for towing-related torque as much as outright performance.

Larger family SUV owners who tow regularly and want more usable low-down torque for heavier loads.

What to expect

Remapping the Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDi

A Stage 1 remap recalibrates the factory ECU software to improve throttle response and smooth out power delivery, within limits appropriate for a standard, unmodified Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDi.

As a turbo diesel, this platform is also commonly approached for economy-focused tuning, which can improve drivability and reduce gear changes on longer journeys. We don't publish generic bhp or torque figures, since actual results depend on the specific vehicle's condition, mileage, and history, confirmed properly during a suitability check.
