  • New 2017 Sorrento - 2017 Kia Sorento

    Third row carpet seam is easily visible and staples show even around the carpet mat. 2nd row would be better with captain chairs. There is not a lot of space to get into the back row seats.

  • Love my car - 2017 Kia Sorento

    A KIA had not been on my radar screen, but I was very impressed with the Sorentos look, feel, and handling. Additionally, I liked the 10 year warranty. I only have 650 miles on the car, but I have enjoyed the ride and enjoy the added features this car comes with.

  • Love my new KIA except for one thing. - 2017 Kia Sorento
    By -

    My new Sorento SX is loaded with goodies and I love it. The goodies are better designed and easier to operate than my Wifes new Lexus LS460. The nav. is much more "Americanized". The ONLY PROBLEM that I have is, Im a big guy and the drivers seat if very uncomfortable due to the very hard bolsters. They are very hard and gives me hip pain when I sit in the seat. After much searching, I found a cushion that makes it much more comfortable to drive. It takes a little more effort to get seated as I have to try to adjust the cushion when I get in. I guess they design these seats for small Korean folks with small butts. If you have a large rear end, ya better be careful before buying this car.

  • Luxury SUV for a great value - 2017 Kia Sorento
    By -

    We are very pleased with this vehicle. It provides a very planted, quiet and smooth driving experience. All the bells and whistles are appreciated including the warnings which are very helpful to aging drivers. We researched this vehicle for over two months including Mazda CX-9 (handles great but less substantial and sub-par navi/entertainment), Honda CRV (smaller, intrusive lane keeping assist), Honda Pilot (top end 9 speed tranny has a bad rep and too high to enter/exit), Suburu Outback (entertainment system sub-par, noisier 4 cyl., 6 cyl harder to steer) and Highlander (runner-up, great vehicle but no Apple CarPlay and less luxury features). The Sorento has great acceleration for an SUV (V6), handles reasonably well considering its size and gets good gas mileage (typically 24-28 highway, 19-22 around town). We leave it in normal mode, seeing little/no difference with ECO mode in gas mileage. Beyond the basic character of the vehicle we like the adapted cruise control, heated steering wheel and seats, ventilated seats in hot weather, and the navi/entertainment system (easy to pair phones, Apple Carplay, Google search using phone hotspot and KIA navigation, and the appearance is very appealing).

  • Best SUV Ive owned. Are you listening Ford? - 2017 Kia Sorento
    By -

    We switched from a Toyota FJ Cruiser to the Sorento for financial reasons. I loved our FJ although the $500 monthly price tag and fuel cost was weighing us down. She dragged me to the Kia dealership to test drive a Sorento. She wanted the turbo four cylinder citing it was miserly on gas. I was quite skeptical until I got in the car. It was a Pearl White with black leather interior and sporty wheels. But I was taken aback by the performance and handling. Fast forward one year and I really like this SUV. Driving into Virginia we usually get around 38 miles to the gallon, WOW! The car handles quite well, looks great, has power to spare on tap and sips gas. This was a fantastic deal. Oh yeah the Ford comment. We had a Ford Expedition before the Toyota FJ. The engine started popping spark plugs two months after wed made the last payment. The Kia Sorento? Keeps running and running while we save gas money. When this lease is up we are getting another Kia Sorento. Id like to say it again... are you listening Ford?

    I researched the Kia Sorento along with other vehicles with 3rd row seating. I wanted a 6 cyl, awd vehicle and luv, luv, luv this vehicle. Its smooth ride, feels like your riding on a cloud. My son hooked up my phone to the vehicle s Bluetooth--so nice to answer and have your phone contacts at your finger tips. Its got tons of leg room both front and back. I havent had it long enough to know everything about it but finding something new everytime I get in it. and you can set your mode to regular, economy, or sport when driving and it tells you how many miles per gallon your getting as you drive. and how many miles you have on the tank of gas which I find very helpful. I keep it on the economy setting and this rig has get up and go when you need to move. Such a smooth running vehicle. Absolutely love this rig. The price you pay for this rig versus the other rigs I looked at are not even in the ball park for what you get for the money. And I found out KIAs are made in the USA in Georgia. I wanted a rig that wasnt going to cost me an arm and a leg that would house my grandchildren (8) this rig has 3rd row seating and sits up to 7. I bought a used 2017.

  • a lotta SUV for the $ - 2017 Kia Sorento
    By -

    We compared several mid sized SUVs by test driving and pricing them out with similar features/packages and the Kia was the best value that we found. We were also very impressed with the ride and the safety features (autonomous braking, lane monitoring, blind spot monitoring and a great back up camera). The basics of the vehicle are great as well - a smooth and surprisingly quiet ride and solid acceleration with the 3.3 V6.

  • VERY PLEASED - 2017 Kia Sorento
    By -

    Purchased First KIA, 2017 Sorrento 11miles because of the look of the body and safety reports. Took it for a road trip and it handled the rain, first winter snow and slush very well. One thing I was not happy about was the passenger seat indicator did not come on when the passenger took there seat belt off. This is a safety issue in which should come equipped in all vehicles. The seat belts didnt have much resistance when the breaks was given a lot of force to stop. Very happy about the many air bags. In which I am having the dealer take a look at ASAP. I love the Sorrento very smooth ride and great on GAS. Do not care for the satellite to much, The signal is not good. The radio system is great with my Teenager as well as the USB hook ups.
