Great New Car

Great styling in and out. Smooth and quieter ride than our previous SUV. Comfortable ride as we just took it on long trip after owning it for a week.

I?LL NEVER GO BACK TO A TOYOTA EVER AGAIN!!

This SUV has EVERYTHING!! Apple car play, numerous USB ports, outlets galore, legroom! Yes, I love the roominess! So much room in my New Sorento! Omg, the amount of storage space in here is crazy! I can fit my daughter?s bedroom in here and still have room. Seriously! It rides so quiet and smooth, too! My FAVORITE things about my new Sorento are all the safety features. Hands free phone, it reads my text messages to me, atc, the gps, and the Sorento has the best safety record of all SUVs on the market! And best warranty!

Ride is better than all others in this class

The Sorento has a ride that equalled, or even surpassed my Lexus sedan. We are highly pleased with the Sorento ride and features. The turning radius is also better than any other car I have driven. When we were looking we had looked at Toyota Highlander, 4 Runner, and Rav 4. The Sorento's ride was far superior to any of the Toyotas we tested.

A big step up the Kia ladder

I consider my new Sorento an Optima 4wd. Amazing comfort. This vehicle has amazing soundproofing and you hear NO ROAD NOISE. I have the EX with AWD and the tech package. The V6 sips gas and with the cruise control I usually surpass my MPG rating. The seats are super comfy. Get the heated option you won?t regret it.

Awesome car

Although at first I had doubts about this brand every time I feel more satisfied with it. The car has impressive performance. The first fuel lasted 15 days!!! The car runs smooth and the cushioning is incredible. The audio system is premium and the 7" screen makes you feel at home, all at your fingertips. excellent quality and superb finish, really good price for an SUV.

Great car!

This is my first SUV and I couldn?t be happier. Plenty of head and leg room for me since I?m tall. Love all the bells and whistles, too.

First Owner

This is my first ever brand new vehicle. I have not driven it extensively, but anticipate doing so. I am a true to life Toyota 4Runner/Highlander fan the information of quality plus style from friends help bring me across to a Kia Sorento. Once I have driven it a thousand miles my review may be better. Kia should provide armrest apparatus to improve the comfort.

Excellent vehicle

The Sorento meets all my needs. Extremely comfortable. Great engine power. Great looks. Has all the bells and whistles that are easy to use. Three rows of seats is great.
