I look good parked beside a Lexus .

Comfortable heated seats. Interior upholstery stays clean. Back up screen is so helpful, especially in mall parking lots. Lots of leg room available in rear seats. Plenty of cargo room in rear.

Oldsmobile, Chevy

This car has a bad problem when you step on the gas pedal the car feels like it stalls it like the gas is not getting to the engine, I had it at the dealership 3 times already they say nothing is wrong with it. I have almost been hit a lot of times.

Still spacious for a Mid-Size SUV

Initially I was concerned about the Mid-size nature of the Sorento, but have become pleasantly surprised by its features and spaciousness. The telescopic steering wheel plays big role in comfortable entry and exit. The seat adjustments assist in multi-directional adjustments for maximum comfort. Good all-around visibility is excellent, too. Its peppy get-up-and-go gives it a sporty feel. A great car at good price, too.

Both the 2014 and 2016 Kia Sorento's are the best

The Kia Sorento's Turbo -4 engine is a wonderful performer!!! The seats are styled and sized just perfectly too. The Sorento is a very comfortable and easy to drive and park automobile. My wife and I are eagerly awaiting to buy the 2019 model as our next car as soon as our present lease is up. We think that buying it is best for us.

Good family car

I wish I would have got the 3rd row seating and power seats, but that doesn't taint my review. We use this car to haul our 18 and 19 year old daughters around on family outings (when they're home from school). It's the first AWD car I've ever owned and I love that it feels sturdy when behind the wheel. One change I'd make is that the storage up front seems cramped. Maybe I just keep too much there.

One of the best vehicles I've owned

Love the vehicle. I've owned number of Japanese, German and Korean vehicles. This Sorento is definitely on top of the list. Very comfortable ride, reliable, roomy, amazing in the snow and good fuel economy. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to other people that out there looking to purchase one.

Value for money SUV

I was checking to buy a SUV but also have good boot space. If required needed the additional 3rd seat row specially when guests visits. This is value for money. Good boot space when the 3rd row seat isnt used. Good leg room. Leather seating, lane change indicator etc makes this even better.
