2017 SX AWD with Tech Package

My pick after testing: Acura MDX, Honda Pilot, Dodge Durango, Mazda CX-9; Toyota Highlander, Hyundai Santa Fe, Volvo XC-90. Value can't be beat with the incentives and discounts. I like its size, very efficient space relative to outside dimensions.

My Pick for 3 Row SUV

The value cannot be beaten. Don't judge base on MSRP, look at actual selling prices. I got $7,000 off MSRP with the Summer Special just before the Year-End Clearance deal. When I took delivery of my 2017, 2018s were just shipping. Real MPG so far. I'm getting 22.7 in mixed suburban driving in the SX AWD with V6. Efficient interior space to exterior dimensions ratio. Tranny not the smoothest, and steering is almost numb, lighting is poor per IIHS, but everything else is great. Best Buy in my book.

Nice driving

This car has met all my needs. I got the AWD lx with the convenience package. The driving is very smooth and comfortable. I enjoy the android auto feature especially for the GPS function. I also enjoy all the trunk space. Overall, I am very happy with my Sorento and would definitely recommend it to other people. For the price, it is one of the best buys.

A car that takes the place of a truck

I like the options that are like a truck, but the luxurious ride of a car. This SUV has both. I hated to give up my truck and could not afford a new one but this fills all my requests for the vehicle I was looking for.

Second Kia

I really love this Kia. I wanted the 2016 that was fully loaded, but it was not in my price line at the time, but the one I have is nice. I never thought I would leave my Chevy's for a Kia.

Solid vehicle will style

We were wanting out of the van days and yet still wanted room for passengers with excellent mileage. The Sorento offers both. We are very pleased with our new vehicle and you can't beat the warranty.
