Did Not Expect a Kia To Deliver This Much

We needed a vehicle with a third row seat and AWD because my wife hauls our teen's sports teams all over the region, sometimes in snow. After narrowing the choices down to the Hyandai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento, we went with the Kia. We have driven it about 30K miles so far with no problems. We find it sufficiently roomy, with plenty of pep when needed, and surprisingly reliable (we assumed it would be more finicky than the RAV4 we traded in, but so far find it far more reliable than the Toyota).

Best gasoline mileage of any vehicle we have.

Very comfortable. Plenty of room and, yet it does not feel like a big car. . Fun to drive and loaded with safety equipment such as backup camera and lane recognition warning.

Best value for a luxury SUV out there

It has luxury quiet interior with luxury features and warranty at mainstream prices with great reliability. Can't get better than that and I crosshopped against XC-90, MDX and QX-60. It has the most efficient use of space with ample legroom for all 3 rows while keeping the exterior dimensions small and with good handling and easy to park/commute in. Only wish it had a bit more cargo space

Nothing like a Kia

I've owned several Kia's over the last 15 years. My current Sorento is the most versatile vehicle I've ever owned. I also own a Kia Rio that is a great little car.

Very good design and execution

This car meets all my needs. I tow a small enclosed trailer for r/c planes and gear. Perfect towing capabilities. Large storage with 3rd row seats collapsed. Backup camera especially helpful in parking situations. I am not using UVO capability, but will learn. Instrumentation is excellent with real time tire pressure readout. Very nice!

One of the most reliable cars I've ever owned!

Very comfortable with power driver's seat, 3rd row seating, rear camera, AWD and great on gas. This is the 2nd one I've owned and would recommend it to anyone with a family. Far less expensive than other US made SUVs.
