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.

What A Buy and Great Car!! - 2005 Kia Sorento
By Tom - October 8 - 7:06 pmWe just purchased out Kia Sorento and WOW!, do you we love it. We traded in our 2002 Honda Accord EX and dont miss it at all. The ride to us is equal to the Honda and no rattles, etc. yet to be heard. Great warranty and we hope to keep this one a few years.

I would never buy another new car... - 2005 Kia Sorento
By TParker602 - October 4 - 7:06 pmI work around some of the most exotic automobiles in the industry, and I can honestly say I get excited every time I climb in my 06 Kia Sorento. With a value package which includes more standard features than any of the competition, quality ratings handed down from Kias parent company - up and coming Hyundai, an unheard of 60K mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, industry leading 100K mile powertrain warranty, unique styling dubbing the Sorento as the "baby Lexus RX 300", and a price that will turn your head ... buyers remorse is a thing of the past. I love the fact that you dont see too many Sorentos on the road. Everyone keeps asking me what it is, or thinks Im driving an exotic!

Excellent Buy & Very Pleasant SUV!! - 2005 Kia Sorento
By kandeemann2001 - August 16 - 7:05 amI purchased used in Dec 10 w/ 50,000 miles. 2 months and 5,000 miles later, not a single problem and absolutely a pleasure to drive! I upgraded from an 00 Sportage, so Im LOVING all the extra space, extra comfort and extra POWER from the Sorento. Seats are unquestionably the most comfortable ive ever sat in, power is MORE than enough than ill probably ever need, and theres a ton of space, both for passengers and cargo. I park next to plenty of the newer mid-sizers at work (Highlanders, Pilots, XC90s, etc.) and it looks just as stylish. Mine is white with the beige interior and gold cladding - VERY NICE! Steering is light and easy to handle. Super comfy ride to work and school everyday.

3 Kias in the Family! - 2005 Kia Sorento
By 3 Kias in the Family - July 30 - 9:40 pmIf we didnt believe in the manufacturer we would have never purchased 3; one for myself, Kia Sorento, one for my husband, (Optima EX), and daughter, (Spectra EX). We should do a commercial for Kia!

Right choice for us! - 2005 Kia Sorento
By Patience - June 21 - 3:40 amWe were owners of a Kia Sportage. We loved it, but really needed something bigger. We simply LOVE this car. It is very classy looking and reliable. It is a great value for what you get! We never had any problems with warranty work on the Sportage, and the same has been true for the Sorento. We are very happy Kia owners! When we first bought the Sportage in 99... everyone wanted to know what it was! Nobody had even heard of Kia at the time! :-) My only regret is the lack of third row seats.

Gotta Love My Kia - 2005 Kia Sorento
By JCerio - June 17 - 7:33 amSo far, so good. It replaced a Chevy Blazer. This is MUCH better. Im happy with the build quality and engine power. Runs great. I live in the Snowbelt and the 4WD works like a champ. Good fit and finish. Plenty of features and performance for the money. Ive had one problem with this vehicle that was caused by ice buildup - they dont get upstate NY winters in Korea - Kia remedied it right away. The service has been top notch.
