Overview & Reviews

The Sorento is an all-new SUV from Kia. Larger and more powerful than the pint-size Sportage (which is expected to return for 2004 after a 2003 hiatus, by the way), the Sorento straddles the emerging middle ground between small SUVs and midsize SUVs. And it does so while offering interested buyers true off-road ability. Key competitors are the Ford Escape, the Honda CR-V, the Jeep Liberty, the Nissan Xterra and the Toyota Highlander.

• Great value, class-leading warranty coverage, long list of standard features, solid construction, true off-road capability.

• Engine needs more power, subpar fuel economy, seat upholstery could stand improvement.

  Great SUV - 2003 Kia Sorento
  By Bob Jones - January 24 - 2:00 am

  Ive only had my Sorento for about 3 weeks and I already have over 3000 miles on it. I was skeptical about buying a Kia but so far I am pleasatly surprised. It is a great SUV for the money. Fun to drive and looks good too.

  look no further - 2003 Kia Sorento
  By joseph mangione - January 13 - 10:00 am

  In the market for a SUV? Look no further!I am so impressed with this product, that Im telling you to run not walk to your KIA dealer to buy one. I love everything about this car. Its sturdy well built feeling gives you the felling of driving a much more "exspensive vehichle", and having the opportunity to drive my wifes BMW 5 series car, I think I can make that comparrison with confidence. Dont hesitate and have fun with your new Sorento.

  Kia unable to repair. - 2003 Kia Sorento
  By Gunter Dresler - December 31 - 9:00 pm

  After driving my 1.5 year old 20,000 km Sorento for 10 meters in 50 cm deep water, it stopped running. The Dealer/Importer had the car for over 6 month in the shop and could NOT get it running again. I paid for a new Computer, but still, as of today it is not running. The location of the air intake is for an SUV on one of the most stupid places you can find in an 4 weal ATV. and so is the location of the Computer.

  Fun SUV! - 2003 Kia Sorento
  By Becca - December 24 - 11:40 pm

  We downsized from a minivan to this and I have loved everything about it since the minute I sat in it. It looks and drives great. It was a mothers day gift for me, but my husband loves to drive it! He has compared it to other suvs in the same class, and there is no comparison. It drives like a sports car. I get so many comments about it by everyone. Only problems we have encountered is we cant have one window down at a time or it sounds like were in a helicopter. Its also a tight squeeze for a family with 3 kids in car seats, but are able to make it work. Oh another thing - buy the 4 wheel drive. This cutie (we purchased the base model) does not like to drive in snow or ice!

  Head Turner - 2003 Kia Sorento
  By Bmcbd - December 12 - 2:00 am

  Bought base LE 4 x4 in January for $1,300 under sticker. I Did a lot of research and after test drives the decision was easy. Would buy again in a heartbeat. Local Boston just named it the best mid size SUV for N.E. weather.

  What a great SUV ! - 2003 Kia Sorento
  By Fisherman - December 12 - 2:00 am

  I love this car. I was debating whether to purchase this SUV or Acura MDX. And I decided to get Sorento not only for the value but for the performance too ! A well-built car- sturdy construction, good looking vehicle. It handles very well on the snow. I cant wait to take this baby for a ride on the beach when fishing season starts !
