More than I anticipated

We were in the market for a 7-seater crossover and test drove nearly every model in this category. We were down to two vehicles and decided to test drive the Kia Sportage and Sorento before making the final decision. We were pleasantly surprised by both models and impressed that Kia was definitely competitive in this category. We've had our Sorento now for nearly 1 month. Performs great in the city and in the mountains. If you're in the market for a crossover, you should at least look at the Kia offering before making your final decision.

A very well made car.

Six months old and not even one problem. Traded my 2014 Kia soul. It didn't have enough cargo space. Sorento has plenty. It sounds very solid when closing doors. Got the base engine, but it seems fast enough (see 2014 kia soul acceleration data).

Incredable Quality and Value

I looked at Nissan, Mazda, Ford, Toyota, and Honda but kept coming back to the Kia Sedona. Its styling, handling, performance, and fit and finish just beat out everyone else and at a lower cost.

retired

After driving several vehicles in this category, I settled on the Kia Sorento. It meets my needs, & I am happy with the buying experience & the warranty Kia offers.

Love this car

So I had a 2012 for about 2yrs and this year upgraded to the 2012. This car is so sleek looking in the inside. I love the black leather interior I have. I also love the Apple car play and how it's so easy to be hands free in the car especially when hauling your family. I would highly recommend this family vehicle to anyone shopping.

Most comfortable car I've owned

I've only had the vehicle for 2 weeks, but so far I LOVE it! It has so much power and drives so smoothly. The infotainment system is easy to use and the sound system is great, even though it's the standard package. Actual gas milage is has been 22/17 which is awesome for the V6 (For comparison, I traded in a 2015 Sportage with the 2.4l 4-cyl, it got 22/19). The headlights really should be HID or LED and the tail lights really should be LED, that's what kept it from a 5-star exterior. I'm really missing movable pedals to customize the driving experience and make it 5-star comfort.

Best suv for the money

The 2017 kia sorento sxl is a great vehicle. The look is nice, it rides good. It's good in the snow. This vehicle has a lot of features.
