just got a sorento - 2017 Kia Sorento
By dpvest - December 18 - 5:45 amyou get a lot for the money w/ the premium and touring packages. actually, you get a lot for the money for the vehicle. good acceleration. smooth ride. decent noise suppression. would have liked the opportunity to purchase the EX w/out the third row seating (and have that be additional storage). excellent mileage for an suv.

Awesome SUV - 2017 Kia Sorento
By Randall - December 17 - 6:23 amThe 2017 Sorento is a great SUV. I have the LX AWD model and it has everything that I need. Love the Apple CarPlay. I have had it for a year now and I still look forward to taking trips in it. This is my 3rd Kia, and while the reliability of the other 2 was great, the quality of materials and fit and finish in this one is much better than in the past. The Sorento should NOT be overlooked when shopping for SUVs.

Great value in an SUV - 2017 Kia Sorento
By Mike - December 4 - 5:34 pmGreat ride, very quiet. Handling is good but if quick acceleration is your thing go for the v6. The vehicle has the feel inside of a much more expensive car and you can really tell it when you shut the door- very quiet. This car has the best warranty in the business and the overall impression of this vehicle is very positive.

We absolutely love this car - 2017 Kia Sorento
By James - October 16 - 6:21 pmMy wife and I just got the 2017 Kia Sorento SX V6 loaded with options and we absolutely love this crossover. The refinement and driving feel is luxury car like and its so comfortable and quiet on the road. We have driven Lexus, BMW and Acura and this vehicle is just as good if not better in many ways, especially for the price. Time will tell with reliability but so far we are in love with this great car.

Although a great car ... sorry I purchased it - 2017 Kia Sorento
By A. Odom - August 21 - 11:42 pmOverall, I think it is a great car, but it has one MAJOR flaw that upsets me. Being designed in Korea, most of the folks there are small and those seat bolsters hold them in place nicely Im sure. Due to cancer meds, I have gained some weight and no longer have a little butt and as such the seat bolsters are very hard and jab me in the hips making it very uncomfortable. I didnt notice this during the test drive, but after the purchase and the 100 mile drive home I realized that I had made a bad decision to purchase this auto. If you dont have a big rear end, then this is a great car, but if your behind is above average, I suggest you not purchase this car. KIA should make the bolsters softer so that they dont jab a person in the hips. I mentioned the discomfort to the dealer and they indicated that they were sorry.UPDATE: while not perfect, the seat feels much better. Just dont have a big butt!

Our new Kia Sorento is great - 2017 Kia Sorento
By Dave C - September 25 - 12:07 amMy Wife and I just purchased this Kia Sorento V6 AWD with the SX trim level in a beautiful red. This was a demonstrator with about 2800 miles on it so we got a great discount from the $45,000+ price. We originally were talking with the dealer about a lower EX trim level model but we were able to negotiate for this higher trim level at about the same price as the lower EX trim because it was a demonstrator. This is a fantastic car with the safety and technology packages on it. One of the coolest features is the smart cruise control which maintains the distance from the car in front of you even down to a full stop. The lane keeping alert is also very helpful. The UVo voice activation feature is nice so you dont have to take your eyes off the road to tune the radio or make a call. The ride is very comfortable and quiet even on rough roads and at high Interstate speeds. The leather power seats have multi position adjustments which are quite comfortable and these happen to be heated and cooled. The only nitpick is that there is no daytime running lights feature and the lights dont come on automatically with the wipers. Kia engineers should fix this. Otherwise this car is great. It gets high ratings from Consumer Reports, Kelly Blue Book and J D Power. The Kia warranty is an industry leader. The value Kia puts in this vehicle is tremendous. The features on this car can be had on vehicles twice the price. This is the first NEW car we have had in our 40 year marriage and we are very satisfied with it.

Things That Make you go Hmmmm - 2017 Kia Sorento
By tombeaman - September 24 - 7:52 pmIve got about 1500 miles on my new Sorento so far, and there are SO many things that I love about it. It seems to be a great value, a very comfortable car for the money. There are some items that make me scratch my head: The so-called third seat...REALLY? That is crazy in every SUV I have been in. Give it up, people. If you want a third row, get a mini-van. For the Sorento, getting that third row not only gives you a couple of seats that only an 8-year old could sit in, it also loses you some handy storage bins! How stupid! Another poorly designed feature is the power rear hatch. The Sorento has a great feature that allows the hatch to raise just by approaching the car...that is cool. What is NOT cool is that the hatch will open up while you are in the garage and then bang your hatch into your garage door. If that happens (say, your fob button gets pressed by your other keys), then you go out to the garage and open your garage door, causing hundreds of dollars of damage! This is not a problem with only the Sorento, but I never thought of it until I owned an SUV. Beware! A feature that I am having trouble with is the Automatic Forward Braking system. Its supposed to monitor traffic ahead and warn you or apply the brakes if needed to lessen a collision. A great safety feature...that turns off dozens of times each trip...about once every four miles! Accompanied by a "ding ding!" I feel like its going to be Christmas all year round! Its going back to the shop tomorrow, so well see if they fix it or not. My next whine is the leather seat warmers. Why would the switch have to be engaged every time I start my car?? And why have a switch that requires multiple taps to cycle through the options, instead of a two-or-three position switch? My other cars with this feature have an Off-Low-High toggle switch, and when you a running errands the heater comes on to the last setting. But the Sorento has to be turned on each time, and then you have to push the button repeatedly to go from high to medium to low heat. Now, after that list of complaints, I still LOVE how it drives. A powerful engine (a little too touchy on the gas pedal), smooth tranny and ride, tight turning radius, great visibility. I am happy, but I do wish those things on my list were not so puzzling. Another oddity about KIA is that accessories cost twice as much if you wait to get them after the sale. Seems to me that a posted price for an accessory should be the same whether the item is installed at the dealer or at the port. And another thing??? Hire someone who actually knows English to write your owners manuals! UPDATE: The Forward Braking problem is already a service advisory from KIA. So the good news is they are on top of it. The bad news is the fact that it was not done properly to begin with, and now the part is on order. Ill update this again as the repair process proceeds.

Truly, an Amazing Value!! - 2017 Kia Sorento
By Steve - September 22 - 12:12 pmWe have now owned our Sorento EX Touring v6 for almost exactly one year. It is simply an amazing car, rock solid in 22k miles. I have owned Audi, Infiniti, multiple Porsches... And this cars refinement is as good or better, hard to believe. We cross shopped the XC90, GL 450 and this has all the features we wanted at literally half the price! We rented a loaded Volvo for a week and couldnt wait to give it back, so many minor annoyances. Kia is tops with CR and JD Power, and the safety features are top shelf. If you have a family, you simply have to test drive a Sorento. Tons of safety features, powerful v6, super comfortable ride and whisper quiet cabin. Much quieter than the XC90, 7db quieter than the Q7. Put up the rear sunshades and your toddler will be out in no time ! I honestly dont know know they are making money at the prices these are selling for. Lastly I will say this, the Sorento and Cayenne sit side by side in our garage. If one of us needs a car..... with or without kids, the Kia gets chosen 100pcnt of the time. Porsches are incredible machines - thats the highest complement I can give the Kia. It is the closest thing to a perfect CUV you will find.
