Really like it

Very roomy. Interior controls are easy to use. Very well made. It handles well. Good gas mileage for a car this size.

Perfect for us

After hundreds of hours looking at reviews and researching options on Cars.com, I felt confident in my purchase of a 2017 Kia Sorento L. Two months later, I'm not disappointed. It's easy to recommend the Sorento to you for the warranty, safety, comfort, value, design (interior and exterior), cabin space, and storage. We (including my wife and two kids in car seats) just returned from our first 7 hour rode trip and no one complained about seats, space, or comfort! There was adequate space for all of our camping stuff. The only caution is to get the engine size that fits your needs. There are a couple different sizes for engines and my wife and went with the smaller engine because it fits our lifestyle better; we don't need 6-cylinder power 99% of the time, but I've noticed it missing occasionally (but it's perfect for my wife). Overall, we're very pleased. Thanks Cars.com; I did most my searching for a car and dealer here.

Kia has been the most reliable vehicle I've ever o

This is my 5th kia that I've owned & have never had any issues. I love the service from Kia that I've had & my new Sorento drives even better than my last one.

Just got it for my wife, haven't had it long.

Still evaluating. my wife's car and she's been driving it ever since we purchased it, I'm sure she likes it but she won't get out of it long enough to give me feedback, It appears she likes it.

Just purchased Sorento

The Sorento EX 2.0Turbo has just the right amount of amenities. The turbo is a joy to drive, power when you need it and economy the rest of the time. I have owned 14 cars and trucks (10 new off the showroom floor) and this is the first time a 4 cylinder made the cut.

My last was aKIA sorento and I loved that car

I had a KIA before and I loved it. So far I have been very happy with this one. I do seem to be getting better gas mileage with this one 2017. It has a real good ride. My daughter has a bad back and she says the passenger side seat is more comfortable then the 2008 I had. So for comfort I would better then before. I truly do love this vehicle and plan being a KIA customer for a while longer

Feature packed SUV at a great price

I was in the market for a luxury SUV and hadn't really considered looking at a Kia. I had just finished test driving an Acura MDX and saw the Kia dealership across the street. I had some time so I decided to go over and I test drove a Kia Sorento. I had been in the market for a midsize SUV and and looked at the Acura MDX Toyota Highlander Hyundai Santa Fe and Honda Pilot. They were all nice put for various reasons I was somewhat ambivalent about them. The Kia Sorento was the first one that I enjoy driving. I drove the SXL version which handled well and had a very smooth and quiet ride. The SXL had all the options and was price similar to a base Acura MDX. I've been very happy with the car so far. The Sorento is shorter than the MDX but has has more interior room. That is great if you have limited garage space like I do. I'm glad that I gave Kia a look and will definitely keep them in mind for future purchases.

Nice Comfortable Vehicle

This vehicle has great interior room. It is powerful and responsive, yet gets good gas mileage. It looks great inside and out.
