New purchase and am loving it. - 2017 Kia Sorento
By Evelyn Osorio - January 28 - 8:54 amI purchased it from Fette Kia and everything was great. The dealer and sales rep both were very accommodating. Im very impressed with the Kia brand. they have definitely come a long way. Ive always been a Honda fan but decided to give Kia a try because I was getting all the things i wanted the 6cyl - AWD the convenience package for a very good lease. they worked with my budget.

My 3rd Sorento!! And I love it...most of the time - 2017 Kia Sorento
By Happy Kia Customer - November 18 - 5:20 amMy 2014 EX was a big jump up from my 2011 EX. My 2017 is an even bigger jump!! Great looking in and out! Drive is smooth and (mostly) quiet. Mostly everything has been improved over my 2014 (which I loved) except a couple of things. First, my 2014 was 100% free of squeaks, rattles, vibrations...noise. My 2017 has a couple of rattles on bumpy roads that can get a bit annoying. I get rattles with the sunroof but on very bumpy roads the rattles become vibrations and then its very disappointing...like various sections of the roof get loud vibrations...kind of kills the ride. I also get a little bit of rattle coming from around where the center console meets the dash board. I took everything out of the car like coins, phone/GPS wires, other stuff to make sure it was not any of my loose stuff. Although not consistent...I did get rattles from that section on bumpy roads. So that "noise" is also disappointing and kind of ruins the ride...when it occurs. Everything else is fantastic with this car. I thought the 2014 was a little small (aesthetically) for my 64" tall frame...a little girly is how I put it. But, this 2017 which is only a few inches longer feels like it fits me much better and I feel great (cool) driving such a nice car that also seems manly for me to drive...while still being very stylish. This car looks great from all angles inside and out...very proud to drive it and be seen driving it. Except for the rattles...all other fit-and-finish seems high quality! Materials are all good. Everything is like youd find on a more expensive model/brand....dear I say mid-entry level Mercedes. The only thing knocking this car down a peg or two is the rattles and vibrations...which is a big deal to me...especially since my 2014 had none. I also noticed that my cargo area doesnt seem to be as wide as my 2014. I would get my mountain bike and my dog crate side-by-side easily into my 2014. My 2017 those two items are squeezed right up next to each other...seems a few inches narrower than my 2014. On the other hand, it seems the cargo is a little deeper so that helps. Also, even though the 2017 V6 drives great (better than 14)...I do think that since it is heavier than the 14...Kia should seriously think about upping the V6 power by about 25hp and maybe get a 7 or 8 speed automatic like the competitors are doing. I do think my back up camera parking assist guides are not calibrated like my 14 was. I could drive my 14 backwards all over town just by looking at my dash video...the guides were very accurate. I knew if my guide lines were touching anything on my camera then I knew my car wasnt going to hit anything. It was excellent for parking backwards in tight spots and getting out of tight spots...I relied on it a lot...TRUSTED it! My 17 guideline seem off so I really have to rely on my mirrors to see the parking lines and be extra careful. If I just followed my camera Id likely side-swipe cars parked next to me. The camera lines dont match up with the real parking lines...so that isnt cool. Might have to ask my dealer about that. So, overall, Id give my 2017 a 4.5 stars and not a 5 because of the occasional rattles/vibrations (Kia should have ironed out for the 2017) and the backup camera guides arent calibrated well...not as easy to park or get out of tight spaces as my 14. Otherwise...I LOVE my 2017 EX V6 Sorento!!

Warning Dont buy this vehicle - 2017 Kia Sorento
By Terri Q - October 31 - 6:00 amThis Sedona did not come with your safety and comfort in mind. First of all you cannot have the recirculated air on at the same time as your fan. So you have to endure car exhaust fumes if you take any trip. Second which is even worse, the seats are uncomfortable for traveling and there is no remedy for that because you cannot use a cushion or seat cover. If you use a seat cover or a thin pad, no matter how much you weigh it turns off your airbags making your safety at risk. This was not a smart deal. I called Kia to find out how to turn the airbag on at all times. They said you will just have to live with it.

Electronics a problem - 2017 Kia Sorento
By Thomas Ewell - October 25 - 11:45 pmThe BSD console has a problem and it does not register in the cars computer. The manufacturer is reluctant to repair it. We will return the car under the Lemon law after 3 months if they refuse to repair it.

Love my KIA - 2017 Kia Sorento
By Joseph Mitchell - October 23 - 10:20 pmThis 2017 KIA replaces my 2012 KIA and is much improved over the 2012. The 2012 is the very first 4 cylinder that I had ever purchased and it exceeded my expectations for performance particularly speed increase. The 2017 is every bit as good if not better.

Great SUV Except Serious Steering Issue - 2017 Kia Sorento
By JAL - August 4 - 3:48 pmLove the car except for one important issue - the new electric steering system is lousy. We had a 2016 Sorento SXL for only 5 mos. before that was totaled when a driver ran a stop sign. We replaced with 2017 Sorento SXL ONe of the key decisions on the 2016 KIA was the great steering system. Unfortunately, the steering in the 2017 vehicle is a major disappointment. KIA changed the steering in the 2017 vehicle (upper level models) to an electric steering system. The new system lacks any "road feel". Furthermore, one is constantly making minor steering adjustments which is annoying at a minimum, but is dangerous if you look away for an quick look at something as the car immediately starts to wander. The dealer confirmed today that they are aware of the problem but there is no fix available to date. Hopefully there will be an updated software package in the future to correct the problem; however, until a fix is available, I do not recommend purchasing the SX or SXL!

2017 Kia Sorento Limited AWD - 2017 Kia Sorento
By Gary Anderson - April 6 - 9:28 amI did a lot of homework before my purchase. By far the Sorento has the best quality, interior, and technology. The navigation and blue tooth are very user friendly. In addition, the vehicle is so so quiet, it is hard to believe as there are extra insulation and acoustic glass. Kia engineers hit a home run on the build quality. The more I drive this vehicle the more I really enjoy it and can appreciate such great quality. Even the electric steering has great road feel, since Kia placed the motor on the steering rack. This is the first Kia I have owned and I never thought I would buy a Kia, but I am sold now. Kia hired an engineer from Audi and he has really upped the quality. I would put this crossover up against Lexus any day of the week. The front seats are very comfortable and supportive so you do not get driver fatigue. You will not be disappointed and you must include this vehicle on your short list if you are in the market.

Fits like a Glove! - 2017 Kia Sorento
By Me Carr - December 8 - 11:52 amI did my research and test drove almost every mid-size SUV under $50,000. After a year of looking, I kept coming back to the Kia Sorento SX Limited AWD. It fits my needs like a glove made just for me. Its sporty, sexy, luxurious yet still has the power to tow 5,000 lbs and cargo space to help a friend move or bring lumber home from the hardware store. The Sorento has the best turning diameter out of all the SUVs - do a donut (slowly, of course) and feel the difference it makes turning into a parking space! Im a little short and if I had two wishes to make it better - it would be to reduce the height of getting in and out of the vehicle and changing the drivers seat headrest, minor details for such an amazing SUV.
