Hyundai Owner makes the Switch - 2016 Kia Sorento
By Gene - January 29 - 6:04 pmI have had a 2010 Hyundai Veracruz replaced with a 2013 Santa Fe Sport Turbo. Price drove me to Kia for the value. I loved the Turbo in the Santa Fe and was worried about a non turbo 4 cyl Kia Sorento. However price of a lease was the major factor. I was ready to accept less as the Santa Fe Turbo had some very nice features. To my surprise the 2016 Sorento has impressed me more than I could imagine. First is it solid, totally. Closing the doors it has the feeling of a tank. The ride is the best of all the Hyundais by far. The loose suspension of the Veracruz is gone and the somewhat hobby horse feeling of the Santa Fe Sport is gone. I assume the longer wheel base is the reason. It rides solid and smooth, the steering is tight and responsive. Yes the 2.4 litre engine is not the Hyundai Turbo but it has what it needs to do the job. The car is the LX model with the convenience package. A great car at a very reasonable price and we get more cargo space and leg room then the Hyundai. I could not be more happy. 5000 miles later all is well. No Problems at all. Went to the dealer for a Oil Change and Tire Rotation and they performed 2 computer programming upgrades and a tail gate latch fix what was a problem on some but not mine.

By Dan - January 8 - 11:18 amI must say, i own this car for over 1 year now and I have no complaints about it. I have a little over 12000 miles and no problems at all with the car. My wife and I like to take weekend trips all the time and we are always pleased with the smooth drive and the comfort. If you think to get one dont hesitate go for it. Is definitely worth the money!!!!

My sassy AWD SX Limited 2016 Kia Sorento - 2016 Kia Sorento
By Dick - December 13 - 9:26 amI have never purchase a new vehicle so quickly. I have been driving a 2010 SRX Cadillac Premium Collection for five years. Who would have ever thought I would buy a KIA SUV?! I went to the dealership to drive the Volvo (which I literally hated) but I had done some internet research on the 2016 Sorento so when the salesman said you really need to drive the Sorento, I said ok. Thats all it took, I fell in love with this automobile. The quality of the interior with its Napa Leather and the ease of the instrument panel and the large viewing screen and the beauty of the drive won me over at once. Now all I had to do was decide just what I wanted and the trim package, the color Titanium was a given. Well I wanted it all ....a SX Limited. The dealership had to locate one in Missouri. It was exactly what I wanted color trim etc., and lo and behold when it arrived it had several other perks, like a tow package, gorgeous side steps, remote start, cross bars and several niceties. People said you are going from a Cadillac to a Kia and my reply is hell yes.....it truly is a much better car, much more comfortable, the seats are the most comfortable I have ever had and the black and white interior is stunning.....people cant get over the look and quality. The visibility out the front windshield is vast with very minimal blind spots. There are so many bells and whistles on this car I couldnt begin to comment on all. Lets just say, its right up there with the Lincoln MKX (much cheaper), BMW, and other luxery vehicles. I read this was Kias goal to put forth an SUV that would possibly attract these luxury car drivers to the new Sorento and yes thats exactly what is happening. I have been driving mine for two weeks and Im still so much in love with its gorgeous body stye and all its safety and wonderful amenities along with the quite, high quality interior. The ease of the voice activated navigation and the very simple bluetooth hands free telephone along with the Xeon lighting, the full panoramic sun roof, the roomy storage, the thrill of having an actual spare tire (Cadillac had a pump), the very peppy takeoff and getaway, the quietness of the ride on highway and the nifty red and blue lights on the interior at night make this very quick purchase of the 2016 Sorento one of the happiest and best decisions Ive ever made.

Kia Built a Winner - Great Value! - 2016 Kia Sorento
By Jason - September 22 - 8:46 amUpdated after 10 months - Bottom line - The Sorento is still a quality ride. My biggest knock is the UVO electronics has had to be reset several times after locking up and the KIA service department weve dealt with SUCKS! At 5K we took this vehicle in for a front passenger door rattle and were lectured by the service manager about how if they find a penny or something similar in the door wed be charged $105 per hour for repairs. In fact if they found nothing wed be charged for their troubleshooting time. After dealing with GREAT hassle free Honda service it blew my mind how the KIA service manager treated us! Just cant beat Honda service, pretty sure well go back to a Pilot or maybe scale down to a CRV in 2018. ORIGINAL REVIEW - This Kia is a really nice mid-size SUV! Im a Honda guy, my daily commuter is still an Accord. My wife is the primary driver of the Sorento and it replaced our 08 Pilot. We really research major purchases like this to death and tried out most of the SUVs in this class, minus the luxury brands. It took us 2 months to make a decision and it came down the Sorento and the Pilot. I honestly dont think wed have went wrong either way but after 3 months of ownership were still happy with the Sorento. We love our LX but our only regret is going cheap with the LX. In hine sight the larger touchscreen, some of the active safety features and the fog lights wouldve been well worth the extra cost. Well probably drive this Sorento for 2 or 3 years and upgrade, probably only looking at the Pilot and Sorento at that time. Things I like about the Sorento: Power, the V6 is a beast. Comfort, very comfortable passenger compartment. Front and middle row are every bit as good as the Pilot, third row comfort goes to the Pilot but we dont use the third row much. Fuel economy is pretty good were right around 24 mpg overall. Quiet, comfortable ride. The warrenty is huge, it was the deciding factor in our decision. The only knocks: Small infotainment screen, this is my fault for going cheap. Lack of storage when using the third row. Overall were very happy with this Sorento!

auto critic - 2016 Kia Sorento
By Richard Kalinowski - April 25 - 2:19 pmi purchased a 2014 Sorento v6, and drove it for over a year, and really enjoyed the vehicle. Then i saw the lines on the 2016, and thought it was a big improvement on style, so I traded up. First time I used the GPS it took me to the wrong location. I also found that the font size could not be changed on the Navigation, and a lot of the street names did not appear, so it was a big mistake paying for that feature. I also liked the blind spot lights on the mirrors, but in 2016 they are smaller, and dimmer, and in sunlight almost useless. I could not believe that something that worked so well was changed drastically on the 2016. I mentioned this to Kia by phone, and the attitude was very poor. I did get the 4 with turbo, which is ample for me, but like someone else mentioned, the mileage is not that much better then the 6. The only other problem that has happen twice, is after starting the car, radio would not work, until you stopped the engine, and restarted. I have not had time to check with the dealer on that issue yet, but will on next visit. Yes on a long trip this summer, it was a pleasure to drive across the country.
