Anonymous, NY (2013 Kia Sorento)"Have 4 cly engine... would be better acceleration and less noisy with v6. Longer wheelbase would improve handling also..."
Anonymous, FL (2013 Kia Sorento)"Excellent turning and acceleration, very smooth ride on the highway."
SHAWN W., TX (2013 Kia Sorento)"Would have preferred the 6 cylinder engine. The 4 just has barely adequate power. Mileage advantage is minimal."

Anonymous, FL (2013 Kia Sorento)"V-6 engine provides excellent acceleration. MPG is poor. Handling is very good. Find the "back-up camera" very helpful."

Anonymous, TX (2013 Kia Sorento)"Very easy to control great on highway"

D S., NH (2013 Kia Sorento)"Good acceleration with responsive handling."
Carlo C., FL (2013 Kia Sorento)"Great power from the V6"
Anonymous, BC (2013 Kia Sorento)"For an SUV, the Sorento handles like a car, and is nimble driving in the mountains. To have any get up and go, I have to manually shift instead of automatically. A six cylinder doesn't have that problem."
Anonymous, NC (2013 Kia Sorento)"Acceleration and handling is good but headlights on low beam are terrible."
R W., ON (2013 Kia Sorento)"From day one, this car has driven wonderfully. Loved the way it doesn't hesitate when accelerating, no choking at all, it just goes when it should. They improved a lot on the handling in the 2013 version as before you could feel everything on the road in the steering wheel but this model no longer does that. It's smoothness of handling is great!"

"Handling is better than most SUV's in the price range, but acceleration and fuel mileage could be better."
