  • Edmunds readers like it. So do I. - 2018 Kia Sorento
    By -

    In early January 2018, I compared the average consumer ratings on Edmunds for midsize SUVs with at least 20 ratings in the 2017 model year. Grand Cherokee, Explorer, Highlander, Murano, and Pilot fell in a narrow 4.1- 4.3 range. The Sorento topped the list at 4.6. While the Sorento is unchanged in 2018, some of the others are now in new editions and their 2018 ratings may turn out to be different. But its safe to say that the current Sorento has been very well received by the owners who submitted reviews to Edmunds. And this satisfaction mirrors my own. High-quality interior, quiet ride, excellent safety technology, superior warranty, peppy V6, thoughtful touches throughout. I do wish they had given it a bit more leg room in second and third rows, but so far I cant find anything else Id change. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this excellent vehicle.

  • Korean fit - 2018 Kia Sorento
    By -

    Being 6.2 and heavy, found out this vehicle is not for long trips, for unless size/weight is average person from Korea, it gets cumbersome on a long haul. As to the back being comfy, not really. Seats do not adjust properly, and passengers have complained about lack of comfort. Admittedly, these individuals are older, and previous to this vehicle, we had a Honda Odyssey Elite. Why did I buy it then? A blunder, in my case. Performance is good, and the adaptive cruise control works like clockwork. Storage spaces throughout the cabin is quite limited. Ours has under 3000 miles, and for those more on the average/petite size this SUV should be more pleasing. I must tilt my head a little when boarding the vehicle. Stereo is average, and CD player heats up rapidly, hate to play it too much during hot weather. 3.5 Stars.

  • Lots of luxury features in mainstream prices - 2018 Kia Sorento
    By -

    We shopped around for Mid size/compact SUV. After trying CRV, CX-5, Tiguan, Pilot, Highlander we settled down on Kia Sorento. The size is just right with lots of room for front and mid row passengers. The third row is good to have. The V6 engine is perfect for the weight of the vehicle to accelerate. The car handling is very nice with active safety features. The warranty is just great, gives peace of mind for 5 years bumper to bumper and 10yrs/100K on transmission. We have owned Toyotas and Lexus cars before and change to Kia brand was a big decision, we are glad we did make that right.

  • Top Value!!! - 2018 Kia Sorento

    One of the best values on the road!

  • Pleased with my choice - 2018 Kia Sorento
    By -

    This seems like a really nice car. Only have had it a couple weeks, but it drives easily, very smooth comfortable ride.. and I test drove a couple others. Very easy to get in and out. Even 2nd row seats are comfortable and easily accessible, and recline (and I am tall). I love that it takes regular grade gasoline and I have been averaging about 19 mpg in the city.

    Good infotainment panel. Excellent warranty. Google maps on phone will display on screen.

  • My Sangria Kia - 2018 Kia Sorento

    Love the vehicle so far. Not too many miles on it yet due to icy roads. I love how it handles and hugs the road. I still have many features to explore.
