Kia Sorento Change Vehicle

"it drive nice on the open road in town it nice to see out and move nice"

"THE FOUR CYLINDER TURBO IS FUN TO DRIVE."

"occasional stutter when starting from stop"

"The transmission and motor work so well together. The turbo is excellent for this vehicle"

"I have the inline 4 cyl and am very pleasantly surprised at its acceleration and manuverablitily"

"Great acceleration and handling (ex-BMW driver). Comfortable driver seating. Quiet and smooth highway driving. Shifting is smooth. Convenient controls on dash and steering wheel. First oil change and maintenance check at the dealership were free at five months. The actual cost would have still been much less than the Lexus. Only criticism: The dash screen automatically pops up at start with split navigation/radio screen when I just want radio. Pressing the radio button at times gives me naviga"

"good acceleration for a 4 cylinder."

"Very comfortable ride except for the seat cooling system. During the hot Texas summer, the seat cooling pretty well sucks."

"The small (3.3L) engine is quite strong for its size and acceleration very good. The transmission shift points are very good. I enjoy the short turning radius. The vehicle's ride is smooth and quiet."

"Surprisingly fast acceleration at high RPM, however still in doubt if there is really 290 HP in 3.3L engine."

"This my third Sorento. Had a 2011 and 2013. Both were very good automobiles and very good for the price. The 2016 is a step above both. Especially like the way it drives and feels!"

"runs great ..good pickup and sporty handling"

"love the automate acceleration on hills"

"Best vehicle I ever bought. The price was high but it does everything well. Rides well, accelerates well, quiet, high visability etc. etc. etc. etc."

"Does not have a great excelleration"

"It accelerates quickly and smoothly. Enables safe merging on major highways where speeds sometimes exceed 65."

"6 cylinder has excellent power & pickup"

"Had it only for 6 months. Very happy so far."

"the steering is too sensitive, quick turns at the slightest touch to the left or the right. could be a safety issue. the sound system is too low quality and the music info and starion print is too small, can't read it at a glance, could be a safety issue"

"You have to really gun it to accelerate fast. There is a hesitation if you don't"

"Steering o sensitive on centre. over sensitive requiring constant correction"

"We previously owned a 6 cylinder Kia Sorento. We bought a 4 cylinder this time with fuel injected turbo and do not feel any difference in the acceleration and handling! We get better gas mileage than before! We love our Kia!"

"I like when I need to pass someone, I can do it with confidence"

"Very peppy. Handling very secure on road, steering very good with good feedback"

"has a wide turn radius"

"Turbo has lab after stopping for traffic signal"

"Very good handling and acceleration for a 4 cylinder."

"The separation and handling are good. I particularly like the way it corners."

"acceleration and handling better than expected. pleasantly surprised."

"Good acceleration and handing for this large SUV. The ability to switch between normal, eco and sport modes allows for better response to the driving conditions."

"amazing tight turning ability"

"Slight turbo lag, but not really noticeable."

"I find the engine at 3.3 displacement a little underwhelming-acceleration is a little slow, engine has to hit a higher RPM, kIA has tried to mitigate through transmission shift but you feel unit dropping down gears quickly to overcome lack of power. Most manufacturers I believe use a 3.6 size engine. I found Nissen V6 engines the best all round.performing and dependable.."

"Shpuld have gotten the V6"

"We only just bought the car, so it's hard to say. It handles very nicely, has good acceleration, and is very comfortable. It was rated as the #1 car by your rating system. That's why we bought it."

"Plenty of power when needed. Smooth gear shifting while in cruise control. Loads of cargo space and compartments to store items. The AWD holds the road removing worry."

"Concerned about the high revs when passing or accelerating. Almost all shifts are at about 3000rpm."

"The acceleration of the V6 is smooth and Powerful with very little sense of the shifting between the 6 speeds. The road feel is reasonable but you do have to be careful of accelerating past the speed limit. Handling for a tall SUV is very nice but it is not a sports car. Handled very well using 4 wheel drive in heavy derp snow and going up a steep hill with curves on ice and smow, using the standard all wheel drive, all winter long."

"I love driving this car. We've had it 3 weeks only and it's acceleration and performance exceeds what we've owned before by a great deal. It was expensive, though, still coming to grips with that. There is no hesitation in acceleration whether it's merging onto a fast, busy highway or getting out of the way or around something, press the gas and boom, you're there. I typically like to turn sharp corners and it turns even better than the Rondo, which itself was very good at that. It's long,"

"At higher speeds does seem to drift, wind seem to catch it from side gusts. Steering perhaps to loose at higher speeds"

"i have 4 cylinder turbo lots of power car handles very well only had car 10 months but no promblems"

"Its good to have 6 cylinders"

"Can be a workhorse (we load it up pretty good with garden stuff)."

"It has lots of power and feels like a V 8 from years ago. I've been been driving four cylinders since '91 and it's nice to have some real passing and merging power again. It is top heavy, but corners better than my trade in '13 Prius. Nice in the snow when winter tires are on."

"4 cylinder but acts like 6 cylinder. Smooth handling"

"WE HAVE A 2.0 LITRE ES MODEL TURBO. THERE ARE 3 MODES OF DRIVING - NORMAL, SPORT AND ECO. WE ARE DRIVING EXCLUSIVELY IN ECO MODE AND I AM SURPRISED AND PLEASED WITH THE ACCELERATION, HIGHWAY PERFORMANCE (i.e. MID RANGE ACCELERATION IN THE 100 - 130 KPH RANGE). WE HAVE A WINDING ROAD LEADING TO OUR SECOND HOME AND ITS ABILITY TO HUG THE ROAD HERE IS EXCEPTIONAL"

"V6 offers excellent acceleration when needed. Handles very well. Takes turns like a SUV, not tight."

"Quiet, good ride and handling. I am able to coax very good mileage for the size of the car. Commuting, I get 24-28 mpg, on interstate up to 30 mpg."

"A lot of road noise power going up mountains"

"Although the steering is very light and devoid of feel, once I got used to it I discovered that tracking is excellent both in a straight line and in turns. For an SUV, it corners quite well. Acceleration is as good as expected."

"The transmission doesn't seem to like going up a steep hill from a full stop. When it shifts gears going up a steep hill from a full stop it has a very hard shift in all 3 of the driving settings; eco, normal and sport."

"Seats are comfortable."

"The Sorento replaced a Buick Enclave. The comfort in the Enclave is far superior to the Sorento. The Sorento is NOT comfortable for long drives. Fine for short drives around town."

"The driver's seating area is not as wide as I would like."

"Exceptional sound system. Safety systems (backup camera, emergency braking, lane warning) all systems work very well. Seat cooling system works great. All infotainment systems are relatively easy to operate."

"Great leg room and thigh support. Low road noise, and Air conditioner works fantastic. Love the 19 Gal tank and cruising range."

"Quiet inside. Climate very satisfactory in all weather. Smooth ride"

"Best seats ever no physical discomfort after ten hours of driving."

"For a brand new car, the road noise is unbelievable! And the shocks are not that great either!"

"Seats have no lumbar support and headrest pushes my head too far forward. Needed to turn headrest backwards and purchase additional back support. I'm disappointed I had to do that in a $30K vehicle."

"Dealer had the car for over a month trying to get the drivers side seat heater to work"

"They could work on the wind noise. Steers great, seats are great, great transmission and power"

"The heated seats are wonderful. I only wish the seats folded back further. Seats are very comfortable overall. Wish I had gotten electric adjustments on passenger side not just drivers."

"I previously owned a 2014 Kia Sorento and the new model is head and shoulders improved over the older one. The outside noise factor is practically non-existent in the 2016 model."

"Seats are electronically adjustable, climate is good because there are several fans etc., noise is good, and the ride is smooth."

"The Kia's seats are fully adjustable and have two pre-sets, this is very important as my wife and I are different heights and the ability to finely adjust seat position once and then set to a button is important. The inside of the car is nicely finished and all seats are good for long journeys without tiring passengers out."

"Quiet, solid, comfortable ride. Handles great. Good acceleration. No rattles or wind noise. Love our KIA Sorento."

"It has a "big" car ride."

"Engine noise is more than I want"

"Very comfortable driver's seat with memory. However front passenger seat has no other adjustment except recline and sliding back and forth. It should have height adjustment and lumbar support. Dual zone climate control is excellent with rear seat climate control. Ride is very good for a SUV and it is very quiet."

"no noise heard -- easy controls -- most comfortable seats we have ever had in any vehicle -- no rocking or tilting when driving. just a joy to drive."

"Like driving in an easy chair. Very solid"

"WE WILL NOT BUYING ANOTHER SORENTO UNTIL THE ENGINEERS FIX THEIR MISTAKES, WE WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER SORENTO.. In 2016 they made a ridiculous engineering mistake by REDUCING THE 3RD ROW ENTRANCE FROM 12" TO ALMOST 6". We had a 2015 with very good entrance to the 3rd row seats but traded it for more option."

"Seats are very comfortable even painful low back, they give extra support in low back area.Quiet ride. Wish I had climate control, only heat/cool dial."

"The engine is too quiet, you have to concentrate on making sure the engine is off before getting out the car."

"Because of the fact that my husband is a large man, the seat configurations are not comfortable. The dealership arranged to have them modified. Not an uncommon problem, from what I hear"

"Very comfortable seats, front and rear. Ride very well attenuated. Ditto noise."

"Not enough leg room for the driver's seat. There should design it to allow the driver to go back farther when there is no one in the rear seat behind the driver."

"Over the last 3 months I have sat in about 50 cars and suv. Being 6'9'' I have long legs and the most important feature is leg room. Only one mid size suv fit and that is the Sorento. SOLD !"

"Should have power seats for passenger"

"Road noise is worse than expected and radio sound is poor."

"Very quiet SUV, quieter than Q7 at lower speeds. Sorrento gets very jittery on uneven surface, for instance the wash board kind of pavement asphalt scraper leaves behind. Consumer reports should've tested that."

"Plenty of room"

"Heated/Cooled seats"

"Consumer reports was dead on when saying that the Sorrento was an excellent car and drives like a luxury vehicle, smooth and quiet"

"the body is too long & there are blind spots"

"very comfortable seats, smooth ride and very efficient a/c."

"The front passenger seat is lower than the driver seat and not tall enough to be comfortable. And there is no adjustment for height."

"One of the few vehicles that has a 8 way power passenger seat Like the heated and/or cooled seats"

"Front seats are like a bench seat and do not tilt high enough at front to support legs."

"Wind noise is very low, but there is some noise from the tires on coarse pavement (not bothersome to me). The suspension is impressive in that it minimizes impact harshness but suppresses large motions (bounce and lean) very well; i.e., there is a good balance of ride and handling."

"Seats are very comfortable, and allow for a range of settings/height/lumbar. Other climate functions like a heated steering wheel are great options. Car is a quiet ride."

"Would love more leg room or a middle seat mounting location for a car seat in the second row. With our car seat it limits the 1st row leg room."

"very comfortable seats, love going on long drives, can tune radio from wheel also has bluetooth so make calls and my daughter can talk as well"

"Excellent heating and cooling. Seats are very comfortable. Surprisingly quiet and smooth ride."

"Excellent automated by temperature climate controls, sync or separate passenger vs driver settings. Controls for rear seat a/c, heated front seats, and automatic fan speed reduction when making phone calls are surprisingly nice features for this mid priced model, the EX. Seats very comfortable position and adjustments are excellent. Ride is comfortable and quiet."

"We needed a vehicle to pull a 17 foot house trailer and this car fit the bill! Most comfortable, quiet ride, powerful and an attractive looking vehicle. Silver in colour. Very proud of it."

"Seats very comfortable, climate control pretty good , very quiet ride, smooth ride."

"very comfortable seats and ride. Surprisingly little road noise"

"The driver and passenger seats offer a large variety of adjustments for the comfort of the most demanding. The acceleration is fantastic and allows merging wtih ease in 60 and over highways. The value beats most other cars. This car offers more luxury and features than competitiors."

"Lots of front seat leg room and very quiet cabin."

"The heater gave out recently. I'm taking it in for warranty when it gets cooler."

"The power drivers seat is awesome, but the passenger seat sits way too low. I did't realize this when I bought it. Wish I had gotten the one where you can raise the seat."

"Quietest vehicle I have ever ridden in! Seats are comfortable. Controls are easy to access and use."

"Used Unhaggle through Consumers Reports and got a great deal but dealer was very unhappy and service at pick up was terrible."

"negotiated an excellent deal since the 2017's were coming in. (good negotiator)"

"Kia grossly miscalculated when deciding not to include daytime running lights. No DRLs on a $40K+ car is an insult. It was almost a deal breaker for me. When my lease is up, I will definitely be looking for an SUV with DRLs. They have "position" lights that you can use, but only manually. I have auto-lights. What's the point of paying $43.6K for a car where you have to fiddle and defeat the auto-light feature just to have something that Kia thinks is better than DRLs? If you have to goof"

"Good value. I like everything about the vehicle except for the small backup camera screen. Handles and rides very well, it's comfortable and looks good."

"The vehicle is so loaded with so many items such as tire pressure monitor, alarms for open doors and information center."

"I am not unhappy with the price I paid. If I was I would not have purchased it. It was not purchased with a set price, or limit, in mind. Having said all of this, I would have been even happier if the price was lower. The model is "sx+", which you did not provide for."

"excellent value, price paid versus the packaged features."

"Compares favorably in all regards with my 2014 Audi Q5, for $20,000 less."

"Examined & tested similar Toyota, Honda and Subaru. KIA was most comfortable, more features for price and was least expensive. Also, KIA was rated very high by Consumer Report."

"Plenty of upscale standard items."

"Did internet search for recent "used" Kia Sorentos. Discovered several 2016 low-mileage Sorentos that were being used as a "loss leader" at dealership. What's better than a 15,000 mile CURRENT model year vehicle? Don't pay new car price and it still comes with Kia's outstanding warranties and has been "broken in" with the mileage that it did have. Perfect choice. So pleased with its acceleration, highway mileage (i.e., 32 MPG), infotainment center, and Consumer Reports' top-rated reliabilit"

"I have the Sorrento SX Limited which has 4 external cameras and all of the current safety features available. I was unable to get the same features on the Lexus RX 350 which I actually preferred. I like the 10 year 100,000 mile warranty for about $15,000 less. The biggest negative is with the front seats. They are too firm and my butt hurts after about one hour of driving."

"A lot of nice touches for this price."

"Used Consumer Reports vehicle buying service (True Car) for pricing. Even though the dealer added $300 processing fee at purchase (initially said they would not), felt it was a fair price. They also added processing fees for title and tag prep."

"very good investment"

"Kia included many features that other manufacturers would have considered options. Power seats, leather, heated seats and rear view mirrors were all included with my front wheel drive Sorrento"

"You get a lot for the money and isn't that the definition of value? It is comfortable, safe, roomy, luxurious (in top trim), with helpful driver's assistance through the electronics. A great buy."

"Excellent value for the money, as you get a mid-size SUV for a small SUV price. Lots of 'bells and whistles" for the money."

"0% financing"

"I feel like I bought dollar bills for 80 cents with this vehicle. Very good value for a good price."

"Bought from Enterprise Car Sales for a very fair price and excellent guarantee and return policy. Better than dealing with a car dealer."

"Probably $10k less than it's nearest competitor and with a much better warranty ie. 5 years comprehensive."

"Best 3 seat SUV for the $ available"

"Great car for money"

"The styling is great but we had a major factory defect that took 15 whole days to find and repair having to do with the front left tie rod suspension."

"Lighting package"

"it beautiful. Has the same profile as Lexus, BMWs,Acura's."

"i love the style, paid upgrade to get alloy wheels and leather and it was worth it"

"Nothing negative. Overall a very nice vehicle"

"The grill looks very smart. The rear deck (inside) could be better styled."

"good looking vehicle"

"Don't much care for the high narrow widows now in style on almost all new SUVs"

"Smooth lines"

"Tiger nose front grille!"

"Exterior very attractive look with ample interior space, seating and cargo."

"All chrome, front lights.interior seats."

"Excellent styling, both inside and out. You feel more like you are driving a luxury SUV than a moderately priced one."

"Not exceptional, not bad either."

"Good looking car. I enjoy walking up to it."
