My Choice Car

This car has the comfort and space we needed. We have two dogs that love to go everywhere with us . I love the way it handles when driving. The controls are easy to read and well lit. There is plenty of leg and head space. The fold down seats will really be useful when we have to haul large items. I love my Sorento.

In love with my new car

I needed a bigger vehicle to fit my needs and this does exactly that! I have 5 dogs and we often take them to the dog park so I needed something big enough. This car is perfect!

Best Purchase I have made!

I owned my previous vehicle for 12 years before it died on me. Looking for a new vehicle was not my top priority. When I began looking I didn't know much about the Kia Sorento but was pleastantly surprised. The first thing was how quiet the engine was , there have been many times that I have forgotten and left the car running. The vehicle is a smooth ride and interior is comfortable. If you are looking to replace a mid-size SUV I would definitely buy the Kia Sorento, it performs well and realiable.

Outperforms Mercedes/BMW for half the price!

Amazing car, roomy, full of amenities, quiet and luxurious ride. My wife says she feels like royalty when she drives it. Took it to Hood River and the family loved the panoramic roof. Great gas mileage and handles like a dream. All wheel drive will be great for Portland/Vancouver icy winters!

Best legroom of any small to medium SUV

This car exceeded my expectations for a SUV. Plenty of room all around. Performed better than I expected. Great gas mileage. For being the low end model it has more extras than I expected. Smooth ride and handling. Great looks and styling. I look forward to many years of enjoyment.

Very Comfortable and quiet

This is our second Sorento. Our 2014 Sorento was totaled in an accident and we replaced it with a new 2018. This vehicle is larger and quieter. The interior appointments have been updated and it is very comfortable. It rivals much more expensive vehicles; workmanship seems top notch. This Sorento is getting better gas mileage and has the largest interior. The controls are simpler to use. We compared it to the Mazda, Nissan Murano and others. The Sorento was the best overall value of the group. I recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a reasonably priced, comfortable SUV.
