2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid consumer reviews

The car has all the attributes of a really great car if 1. you don't drive it in cold weather 2. You don't need space behind the 3rd row 3. You don't need Kia USA to provide any support. When the car was operating properly, it was a nice ride. It did not have a lot of power, but for commuting it is OK. The hybrid provides good gas mileage. However, it is not a reliable car, after 882 miles, the car would not shift into gear. It has sat for nearly 2 months at the dealer's lot, and they have not been able to fix the car. Kia is not helping, and did not provide a loaner. Overall, it is not a dependable car and not worth the price.

We purchased the SX Prestige and it's a very well appointed vehicle. It is very comfortable for adults in the first two rows of seats and the third row is comfortable for the grandkids. It drives like a dream and has just about every safety system you could imagine which was daunting for my wife at first but she has a handle on it all now. The interior is absolutely gorgeous and has everything you need for a comfortable ride. The exterior is very stylish and doesn't have that minivan look at all nor does it look like most of the mid size SUVs. The warranty is excellent which should give you an additional sense of security as far as long term issues with the major systems. Overall this is one of the nicest vehicles we have owned and we have owned the higher priced competitors of the same style and size. It is at a fair price point for what you get but my suggestion is to purchase the prestige package as it's only a few thousand more and the difference is pretty significant. As of yet I see no drawbacks to this vehicle and am glad that I took a look at KIA.
