  1st new car in 20 years - 2017 Kia Sorento
  By GSK - September 4 - 8:50 pm

  Make sure they are happy with a slightly smaller 3 row SUV. It is driving great. Only minor issue is that a side view mirror popped out when I was folding it in. I was able to easily replace it. It doesnt pop out if Im careful when I fold it in and make sure not to touch the mirror itself. Still driving great. No problems.

  Assembled here with US engine and US transmission. Best warranty in the market that I have seen. Rides and handles well. Slightly underpowered accelerating onto highway smoothly with 4 cylinder standard engine. Smallish rear window.

  Our 3rd Sorento - best yet!! - 2017 Kia Sorento
  By Mrs. E. - March 29 - 7:38 am

  The V6 is very responsive. In general, the car feels sturdier and more solid than previous years. Gas mileage is better even though it is a V6 - averaging between 24 and 25 mpg. Great car, good value.

  2017 Kia Sorento TOWING TONGUE WEIGHT REDUCTION - 2017 Kia Sorento
  By TireKicker - February 19 - 3:37 pm

  NOTE IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING TOWING WITH A 2017 SORENTO --- 2016 Kia Sorento AWD 6-cylinder with tow package: towing capacity 5000 lbs with tongue weight 500 lbs (Owners Manual p. 5-104). 2017 Kia Sorento AWD 6-cylinder with tow package: towing capacity 5000 lbs with tongue weight 350 lbs (Owners Manual p. 5-113). Separately, you might also be interested to know that to change the oil it is necessary to first remove a cover plate with 17 bolts before you can access the oil drain plug. Consequently, most will end up hacksawing an access hole in the cover.

  Best SUV for the money. - 2017 Kia Sorento
  By Frank - September 4 - 12:48 pm

  Nothing negative from my vehicle so far.The most impressive is the engine.Almost 300 hp propels this SUV down the road quickly and effortlessly.At 80 mph it is barley working.Ride and quiet much improved.I owned a 2012 and a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe and the improvements in the 2017 Sonota are very apparent.Gas milage at 75 mph is about 25.5. I would expect thirty at speed limits.Regular gas no problem.We love it and cant wait for our first road trip.

  Good, but - 2017 Kia Sorento
  By Mike Crowe - September 2 - 2:53 am

  We liked vehicle, but had problem from start of lease with poor shifting at 40-50 range. All dealer would respond is that no computer errors show.

  2017 sorento - 2017 Kia Sorento
  By brad dun - May 30 - 3:46 pm

  its a comfortable car,its weakness,is gear shifting,the engine races and is slow to change when moving off at traffic lights,its city gas milage is bad,11-13 mpg in the city,it gets good on freeway when going over 50 mph,seats are too low so its hard to see,the front and back when parking or overtaking,lucky it has a reverse camera,it was good value in thanksgiving sales,it looks pretty good and is comfortable,if the transmission shifting and seats were higher it would be a great car,after driving many mountins,it cut out once in the middle of the road,another time it would not reverse,but I have not seen that problem appear,the v6 engine might be better,but it would have cost me $5000 extra,the 4 cylander is probably underpowered for the car,they should include a cover for the trunk,and remove the roof rails,they look ugly,road holding is good,i could not get cruise to work,for some reason,its a very good looking car and comfortable to drive,

  Best SUV for the money - 2017 Kia Sorento
  By Carlover - November 20 - 11:22 am

  Leased this SUV for 3 years this past week. I choose the snow white pearl with merlot leather interior. I traded 2 other vehicles in for this one as my wife and I didnt need 2 since we are retired. I have leased over 20 vehicles in the past 20 years including BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Lexus. The Sorento is one of the best vehicles I have ever leased. I have the SX with Advanced Technology package which includes Lane Departure Warning, Advanced smart cruise control, Forward Collision Warning Autonomous Emergency Warning and Electronic Parking Brake. I added remote start and Home link rear view mirror. The build quality is exceptional, doors close with a solid thud like the German cars, and interior quality is as good or better than Lexus RX350. Interior noise levels are exceptionally low with no tire hiss being heard in the rain which makes listening to the very good 10 speaker Infinity sound system even better. Heated and ventilated front seats are great along with the heated steering wheel. The 3rd row isnt that roomy but I will probably not use it that much but cargo room behind the second row is very good. If you will use the 3rd row often this may not be your best choice. Reliability isnt known yet since I only have 650 miles on the SUV. I hope this helps anyone looking to purchase an suv.

  Love the pfeformance -Hate the headlights - 2017 Kia Sorento
  By Mark W - November 13 - 10:33 am

  Car has good performance. Interior is comfortable. Only problem have with the car is the headlights. They throw a shadow about half way down and all the way across the windshield. The lights look like somebody drew a line across in front of you and it is difficult to seen what is ahead of you. Very poor design and is A SAFEY CONCERN. I travel several times a year at night to northern Arizona and with a limited view I really do not want an elk or deer to run out in front of me. I took this problem to a Kia dealer, they tried to adjust the lights , but it did not help much. If anyone else has this problem contact your dealer and maybe with your help Kia will look into this problem
