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

Great Purchase! - 2017 Kia Sorento
By Roger I. Cabrera - November 9 - 7:51 amThis is a beautiful SUV standing or going down the road, great features, interior and exterior finish is a class above. Quiet and smooth. 3.3l V6 has some true bite to it when called upon. This is an excellent vehicle for the price! Already looking ahead to 2018 for a new one..

Inferior Interior Materials (Dash, Doors)... - 2017 Kia Sorento
By Ttahoe - August 27 - 5:06 amThe 2017 Sorento L has a very nice, comfortable ride. That said....I would not recommend this vehicle soley based on the inside interior materials used. While at my local Kia dealership today, I brought to their attention that the interior materials used, scratch and produce white scuff marks all over the doors, dashboard, around knobs etc. With the slightest touch, it scratches and makes unsightly white scuff marks/scratches. When I spoke with Kia, they stated the materials used, are "MADE TO DO THIS" (Kias exact words) !! A $40,000+ vehicle, and you intentionally produce materials that are "made to do this" (scratch and produce white smudges and scratches?). Kia suggested I purchase Meguieres wipes and use that to clean the scuff marks and scratches. That is their suggestion to an inferior material? Kia also suggested that I go to the sales floor and find a salesman and "TRADE" in my car for another one! I am disgusted with Kias lack of customer service and or remedy for this issue. This is my first, and my last, Kia purchase. Terrible Customer Service!

Well Worth the Money, Riverside Kia AMAZING - 2017 Kia Sorento
By JWDEVUS - July 6 - 6:34 pmWell Worth the Money and RIVERSIDE KIA was Amazing and they were great to deal with, so with that said: PROS: Many PROS LIKE PRICE AND WARRANTY, STYLING IS VERY NICE, interior is pretty nice for the price, Headroom is good as I am 6 and it works well with my daughters car-seat :-) It has pretty good storage room but but could use a little more :-) CONS: A 3" SCREEN for Radio and CONTROLS ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! You cannot see the screen most of the time due to the angle and glare from the sun/window it is HORRIBLE and I MEAN HORRIBLE come on KIA you can due much better then this!!! The sound system is OK nothing to brag about! ANOTHER BIG CON IS NO AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS and I forget to shut them off all the time thinking they will off automatically like most other older cars and most if not all NEW Cars! ANOTHER VERY POOR CHOICE ON KIAS PART!!! FUEL ECONOMY is not that great right off the bat as I got the car with 8 miles on it and it now has over 600 but not over 700! I really have to watch what I am doing driving wise to get 19/20 around the city. I got the SUV on 8/31/2016 so most of my driving is around the city as I am retired :-) I REALLY LIKE THE SORENTO DESPITE MY CONS, WHICH MANLY ARE PET PEEVES AND KIA SHOULD HAVE DONE A LITTLE BETTER IN THESE AREA!

Really loving this car - 2017 Kia Sorento
By John Smith - May 15 - 2:29 pmAfter shopping also shopping the Highlander, Pilot, and CX-9, we found the Sorento to be the most comfortable, quietest, and second-best handling and looking. (The CX-9 was our top choice in those categories.) When you added in the fantastic warranty, the strong CR reliability ratings, and the zero APR, the Sorento was a no-brainer for us. We opted for the SX with the Advanced Technology package and couldnt be happier. Highly recommended.

Step aside lux X-overs - there is new King in town - 2017 Kia Sorento
By Netscorer - April 20 - 1:06 amKia has outdone themselves with new Sorento. Its a perfect size crossover - huge trunk in 5 seater configuration and always available fairly comfortable 3rd row to haul up to 7 adults. Very blunt front and rear minimize exterior dimensions to assist in parking, while providing the same interior dimensions as much larger Highlander. Comfort on the top trim SXL is rivaling premium crossovers from Japanese and American carmakers. Compare Sorento with Lexus RX, Lincoln MKX or Acura MDX and you will find that Sorento matches them feature by feature, seat comfort, road noise isolation, technology and ride. All while costing $10K less MSRP. Considering that KIA & dealers are also providing very aggressive discounts from MSRP, you can easily save $15K by forgoing the prestige brand logo. Sorentos Adaptive Cruise Control is also considerably better then competition - keeping distance reliably and supporting full stop & go traffic where most of the competition cuts out below 15mph. Ride quality is excellent - assertive, yet soft enough to forget road imperfections. Acceleration for V6 Direct injection engine matched with 6-speed automatic is excellent too. Starting up hill or overtaking cars on the highway is piece of cake. Fuel consumption could be better, but at least the listed specs are very conservative. My V6 AWD trim is rated 17/23/19 combined and so far in the first 9,000 miles of mixed driving with plenty of traffic and AC on I am averaging 21mpg. 2017 model adds Adaptive headlamps that swivel in the curves to provide better illumination and Autonomous Emergency Breaking that keeps an eye on the traffic ahead and will apply brakes automatically if it feels that collision is imminent. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also come standard and greatly enhance available infotainment system. Otherwise 2017 is indistinguishable from 2016 redesign model. Huge panoramic sunroof goes beyond second row of seats and provides great sky views for passengers in all rows. My only pet peeve with it is that it is controlled by single lever. So if you want to just open blind, but leave the sunroof closed, you cant. Once you push the button to open the blind, the roof starts to open automatically and you need to go back and forth to achieve what you want. Another perplexing omission in US is absence of DRLs. There is an LED brow light on Sorento that acts as DRL in all regions outside US, but in US it is can not be turned on without full headlight. So you either drive with your lights off, or you need to turn on main headlights. Its a mystery why KIA decided to disable this feature in US.

Unintentional Purchase - 2017 Kia Sorento
By Gene - June 30 - 11:45 amI intended to buy the 5 passenger Turbo 4. I drove one and it was excellent. This vehicle is for my wife and it was difficult to find a 5 pass , turbo 4 that had all the " needs " on her list. The dealer made me an offer I couldnt turn down on this 7 pass , V-6 and we are extremely pleased. The most difficult thing about senior citizens like us when buying a car is learning all the new features especially the audio / navigation and electronics. We owned the car for 4 weeks and have put 1200 miles on it. Our last trip was 386 miles of interstate and mountain driving. We got 27 MPG on this trip,
