Yes, I managed to get a Hyundai Tucson hybrid Ultimate with a reasonable discount and ordered before the price rise. Took 10 weeks from order. Smaller car and to much black shiny plastic inside which attracts dust and requires a microfibre cloth kept ready. With hindsight, should have gone with Kia Sportage 4 hybrid, same chassis but fabulous finish inside matching the Sorento 4 and made in Slovakia. Longer waiting list than Tucson which but at least the Sportage is a Kia model actually coming off the production line.

Hey Andrew

Thanks for the comment. Sorry to hear you had to cancel your order – I think car production worldwide is still experiencing delays, though some makes/models are more affected than others. I myself am waiting on a confirmed build date for a car (different make/model) and seems to be no update forthcoming from the dealer, so I share your frustration there!

Since you cancelled your Sorento order – have you managed to get something else instead?

Cheers
Dan

What’s the point of reviewing a car that is simply not being built (south Korea) and cannot be ordered. I cancelled my order after 14 months as my car had not even been put on the build schedule. There is a stop on Sorrento orders now because of a huge backlog in North America and Australia.
