Good power and confort

Lots of nice options available for the price compared to more expensive SUV. The ride and road noise is great for a SUV. Like the exterior looks and it is fun to drive. You can feel the power of the Turbo.

Very satisfied with the automobile in every aspect

Seems like the vehicle that would meet my needs for traveling; leisure trips around town. I believe that it would be very dependable; and meet my economic requirements as far as gas mileage and maintenance requirements

Good utility and fun to drive

This car has a lot of features for the money. The leather is if high quality but you can feel the durability. I bought the 6 cylinder, 296 hp or so... it can really get up and go at 27-28 mpg on the intersttae!!

Very comfortable ride

Very impressed with this car. It ha plenty of leg room and I like how features are on the steering column or shown on the dash board. The only thing I've noticed that I'm not crazy about is I seem to hear alot of road noise.

Nice family sedan

This car is ok. I'm not happy with the head rests or seat comfort. But it gets great gas mileage and is pretty reliable

Excellent car

The Sorento was designed on a truck frame, with a lower smoother suspension. It has seven seats, but five of them can be folded flat for a large cargo area. It bluetooth connects to my smartphone for hands free communication while driving. Plenty of storage areas and cup/bottle holders. It is all wheel drive, good for Minnesota winters.

2016 Kia Sorento SXL

I bought used and have driven it for one month now. I also own a 2012 Sorento EX. The 2016 is on an entirely different and better level. It feels much larger inside. The fit and finish is excellent. The V6 engine is powerful and quick enough for me...an average guy. The Nav/radio screen is like having a "tablet" and is very easy to use. I commute 70 miles a day and the ride could not be better. Quiet and smooth with an excellent music system. Everyone that rides in this vehicle is amazed at how nice it is. I have had 4 Kia's and never any concerns. My vehicle does not have the "tech" package. I would purchase again without hesitation.

Very pleased with my Kia

The car is affordable and reliable. I drive a lot for work and in a year have put 32,000 miles on the vehicle. I've had no issues. It rides comfortably, gets good gas mileage and fits my family.
