Driving Experience
Includes acceleration and handling
What Owners Say
"I drive in the 'ECO' mode. That moderates the acceleration. I don't like heavy side loads, so I don't 'test' the handling. However, the car seems to be very stable and corners well. It's a great 'old person' car."
Peter L., CO (2018 Kia Sorento)"2,0 turbo crushes the 2016 Outback I just dumped. Outback is ok, but just to slow to drive the Utah highways were the posted speed is 80 MPH.. THe Kia Sorento has no problem leading the pack both on the highway and off road, very sure and stable. THe adaptive cruise is amazing"
Greg G., CA (2018 Kia Sorento)"Fit and finish, quiet, acceleration MPG"

Anonymous, FL (2018 Kia Sorento)"powerful acceleration for such heavy car, nice handling in country roads and in emergency situations"
Anonymous, FL (2018 Kia Sorento)"It accelerates and handles well, but is VERY touchy. My husband constantly moves the steering wheel just a little - and the car responds - too much!!"
Anonymous, MN (2018 Kia Sorento)"The pep from the 3.3 L V-6 is very exciting as well as the tight and responsive handling. Sometimes I forget that I am driving a SUV and not a sports car!"
Anonymous, WA (2018 Kia Sorento)"I love the ease with which it handles, almost feels like it is floating. Great acceleration and control!"
Sybille S., BC (2018 Kia Sorento)"Acceleration and handling is excellent No built in navigation system is a negative"
Linda B., AZ (2018 Kia Sorento)"Good road trip car. Handles well. All warning systems work well and help when backing and lane changing. Transmission smooth and shifts at right speeds."
Anonymous, GA (2018 Kia Sorento)"The safety features, parking assist, smart cruise control, able to leave up to 4 car lengths between cars, auto hold, lane departure feature. blind spot detection, front, rear and side cameras. Love the responsiveness of the v6 engine, how the car handles and how it has a quiet ride. LOVE LOVE LOVE my 2018 Sorento"
Jose M., TX (2018 Kia Sorento)"Acceleration is great with the V-6. Immediate steering response."
James S., NC (2018 Kia Sorento)"The car shifts gears too much, probably an attempt to increase gas mileage. Acceleration is good with the V6 but the constant shifting distracts from the driving experience."
Martin M., FL (2018 Kia Sorento)"smooth acceleration, handles well"
Anonymous, SC (2018 Kia Sorento)"Suspension and/Or steering noises started at around 5,000 miles."
