Smallest suv with 3 rows of seats

This car meets all my needs. Very flexible passengers pays for three rows of seats. Technology integration easy to use. Car is easy to drive. Only negative is four-cylinder is under powered when full of cargo in people.

We've been hooked on Kia's.

I'm 6'4 270lbs and I fit comfortably in the car. Lots of headroom. There is plenty of cargo room. I have the EX model with the turbo 4 cylinder in it. Pretty decent power for a bigger SUV. The interior could have a few more luxuries for an EX model. Overall I'm totally satisfied with it. This is Kia number 5 for us. Started off with a Soul, sportage, optima then our 2nd sportage (2018 turbo sx) and now I bought this Sorento for myself. The quality and warranty you get for your money is tremendous.

We had to buy it... Again!

Short(ish) version: We leased a 2016 Sorento SX V6 and loved it. When the lease was up, we figured it was time to downsize - with 2/4 kids out of the house, maybe we could get away without the 3rd row, the size, etc. Six months into our next lease and my wife decided she missed her Kia too much - it was time to get her back. Obviously we couldn't get her original back, so we looked for something similar. Because of budget, we couldn't get a 2018/19 with all the same features. What we DID find, however, was a 2017 SX V6 Limited with all the same bells and whistles as her original. Only it has MORE bells. She (and I) LOVE it and highly recommend this car. It's luxurious, sporty, comfortable, technologically advanced, roomy... OK, you get it. I can't make any promises, but I'm pretty sure that you won't be disappointed if you go with the Kia Sorento.

I love my KIA. I bought it used with 9,000 miles.

I love my KIA . Just drove it to San Antonio, Texas from St. Petetersburg, Florida and got back. My KIA is 4 cylinders so we only spent $300.00 in gas. Just great.

It's my 4th Sorento. I'm in love with Sorentos.

This SUV should be owned by everyone. The safety designs are awesome and I feel safe when I'm driving and have my family or friends with me. Safety features are extremely out of the normal feathers of most SUVS

Excellent vehicle by far for me

This vehicle has been the best I have owned. Wanted an SUV and could not have asked for better. Plenty of room for London distance front and back and tons of storage.
