        Incredible vehicle

        by Dave on Friday, June 25, 2021

        After a ton of research on many mid size SUVs, I went on test drives. After driving the 2021 Sorento SX Prestige, the choice was simple. This SUV has safety, comfort, performance, and convience features of vehicles costing many thousands more. The ride quality is outstanding and a pleasure to drive. The power from the turbo charged engine will totally surprise you. KIA is now a manufacturer of quality and value which others better pay attention to. Namely Toyota, Honda and any domestic vehicle on the road today. I will gladly compare my Sorento to ANY vehicle. KIA nailed it. Please, if you are in the market for a mid size SUV, just head to a KIA dealership and check out this amazing vehicle.

        Overall Good Value

        by Dee Jay on Friday, May 23, 2025

        I struggled between deciding on a Santa Fe vs a Sorento. I feel like I made a good choice based on the following: * Sorento has lumbar support while Santa Fe doesn't. The Santa Fe has reclining front seats but I don't know when I would ever use those. * Sorento has a spare tire while Santa Fe doesn't * Sorento has a panoramic sunroof while Santa Fe has two smaller sunroofs. * The H theme in the Santa Fe strikes me as silly. The rear end looks horrendous. The Sorento has more of a classic look. The one minor thing that I really wish I had in the Sorrento is the ambient lighting. Why does Europe get it and the US doesn't?

        Solid build, great look, amazing safety features

        by Shermand on Sunday, October 31, 2021

        I got the 2022 Sorento for myself after we bought a 2021 Telluride for my wife. Our Sorento is the SX-Prestige, AWD X-Line version. I love the safety features -active lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, active assist braking, collision monitoring and more- and the 360 degree cameras are a great feature when getting in or out of tight spaces. The 2.5L turbo is very impressive, with lots of power and torque, and the handling is fantastic, especially around corners at fast speed. This feels more solid on cornering than the 2018 Tiguan I had, which was much lower to the ground. The mileage is good for an AWD, at 22 city and 27 highway. The cargo space is great, especially if you drop the third row -very easy- which allows for tons of shopping/grocery bags or luggage. I love the design, as well, which takes many cues from the bigger Telluride. The 100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty gives me comfort, as does the bumper to bumper 60k warranty. My previous Ford Escape was half that for bumper to bumper, and only 60k for powertrain, and the transmissionAND the turbo both went out at 60k. Scary! Kia has been on a great streak with quality and design. Can't wait to see how these perform over the years, but my confidence is high. The 2022 Sorento has memory seats, which was missing from the 2021 model and is a great feature when you have multiple drivers. There are some things the Sorento lacks that the Telluride has, and which are available in other countries but not on a North American Sorento. The most notable is the heads-up display, which I find to be a great safety feature on the Telluride. Blind spot monitoring, distance to the car in front, speed, they're all displayed in the heads-up unit -but not available on North American Sorentos. Also missing are hood struts -you have to use a manual prop to hold the hood open, despite hood struts being on Sorentos in other markets. Who knows, maybe they had to trim weight for mileage regulations.
