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.

  Luv my Sorento - 2003 Kia Sorento
  By pecksorento - May 21 - 10:00 am

  I never thought I would ever buy a kia in my life until I test drove one. I was shocked on how well it performed on the road. Not to mention how sharpe it looks on the outside. Everywhere I go someone compliments me on how good it looks and if I like it or not, and I tell them I love it.

  Excellent vehicle! - 2003 Kia Sorento

  Everything is perfect, except that I hate the massive "Kia" logo on the front. Why did they have to make it so big? Also, the fuel economy is crappy, but about par for many SUVs.

  fun ride - 2003 Kia Sorento
  By db4022 - March 23 - 2:00 am

  So far Ive enjoyed the Sorento it is the second vehicle Ive ever owned and compared to my last (a truck) it is very comfortable and quiet.Im also impressed with the build quality from the interior to exterior.The only think that is negative is the fuel mileage,which I figured since it weighs as much as a ford explorer it has alot of good metal weigh-which makes me feel really safe driving it-so a little extra change for the gas bill you get a good feeling of security from the vehicle.

  Real Candy for the Road! - 2003 Kia Sorento
  By TBKahuna - February 14 - 10:00 am

  Bought a EX with Luxe package. Considered buying Kia Sorento, Hyundai Sante Fe, Saturn Vue or Toyota Highlander. Found the Sorento to offer best value for the money and great looks. I have driven 11,000 miles in it so far, hauling camping gear and bikes, and every one has been nothing but Total Satisfaction.

  By new sorento owner - January 19 - 2:00 am

  I love this truck, for the money I spent, I am so glad that i didnt pick one of the other trucks i was concidering.Not that the others were bad and belive me i drove almost everyone of them. but to tell you the truth none of them would even come close to the performance and styling that i have found in my new SORENTO
