Overview & Reviews
The optional sport package now includes blacked-out headlamps and, on LX models, a premium audio system. A five-speed automatic transmission replaces last year's four-speed unit.
- Great value, long list of standard features, high-quality interior materials, solid construction, true off-road capability, lengthy warranty coverage.
- Mediocre fuel economy, harsh ride over sharp bumps.

Liked it so much I bought another - 2005 Kia Sorento
By onephatgrl - June 7 - 8:26 pmVery well designed and laid out. Build quality is very nice and not cheap looking. Have an Ex and LX both 4WD wich perform well in the snow. Ride is smooth but sometimes choppy at low speds otherwise a good alternative to honda crv and the ever so ugly rav 4

love it - 2005 Kia Sorento
By sandi - May 25 - 1:56 amEven though we have just purchased this model of kia we have had a sportage for years. I really love this car it is fun,responsive and extremely comfortable. We are getting about 24 mpg, but that is the only drawback. We managed to get everything we wanted in a good sized SUV without spending a fortune. Good value and the headroom and legroom are terrific. My husband and I are both over 6 feet and we have no problem with either. I enjoy this car and would say you cant go wrong buying a Kia they stand behind their vehicles.

Sorento, trade your old Sportage in . - 2005 Kia Sorento
By HD Harris - April 20 - 5:26 pmIt has been an excellent upgrade from my 1998 Sportage. It has adequate room for five. It has been excellent for my two young boys. The 3.5l v6 has plenty of power and the with the auto-stick option, it can be definitely fun going stoplight to stoplight. The styling is more upscale than you would expect from Kia. I feel its more along the lines of the ML series or Lexus and Acura. I always have people asking me about it and complimenting it.

AMADOGON - 2005 Kia Sorento
By AMADO V GONZALES - April 14 - 12:43 pmBought this 2004 Sorento EX 4WD in 12/2004 with 19 miles on the odometer. Tested vehicles 4WD performance during the snow blizzard of Jan. 2005 here in Suffolk County (Long Island New York). Did the stop and go run about 15-20 mph on 10 inches snow on the road, went through like a bulldozer, no skidding, zigzagging (SUV equipped with disc brake/abs systems). I am giving a perfect 10 score for this vehicles performance. Also, tested vehicle performance on the highway; handles excellent.

Liberated from a "Liberty" - 2005 Kia Sorento
By Nancy Lavely - March 28 - 10:00 amAfter driving a Jeep Liberty for two years that I truly hated , I purchased a Kia Sorento that I now am extremely happy with. When my husband and I test drove it, we were like, "What is this? A joke?" All the features did not compute with the low price.

Sorento - Buy It! - 2005 Kia Sorento
By Mary Jo Howell - March 14 - 9:30 amThis is the first SUV weve owned however many friends have owned one for years. The looks are great, ride is nice.Easy driving for teens is a plus. Still getting used to the gas consumption after driving toyotas (Celica & Camry) over the last several years however we are still pleased with 22-24 highway. Its been great thus far for traveling with ball players on the weekends for 1-3 hour trips. We wouldnt go back to taking a car on the weekend trips for anything.

I LOVE MY SORENTO - 2005 Kia Sorento
By Mike Powell - February 22 - 6:40 amI love my Sorento.Many people mistake it for a Lexus.The only complaint that I have is the position of the parking brake mechanism.It hits just above the knee.The only problem that I have had is the clock doesnt keep time,however that will be taken care of at my first oil change(not a major problem).Overall I am completely satisfied and would recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a new SUV.

Great midsize SUV - 2005 Kia Sorento
By Dan - February 1 - 3:53 amWe bought our 2005 Sorento two months ago and love it. Short of a brake lamp going out, we have had no problems whatsoever. The interior space is ample and we absolutely love the styling. More than once people have commented, "Wow, I cant believe thats a Kia." Wed highly recommend this SUV for anyone with a small family.
