I love the look and feel at the wheel, but dislike the delayed take-off once idle at complete stop. It's feels a little choppy on highway it may be my tires the tire light just came on at just 3300 miles. Cargo space is great
Beware of KIA Service poor service on Hybrids

We love our 2021 Sorento. The challenge is finding a Kia service department that has experience with hybrid problems. They just don't have the experience with the hybrid and hence when something difficult happens, they don't know what to do about it. Started with an EGR check engine light. Took 9 hours to replace it. Then the engine wouldn't work. They replaced the new EGR but that didn't fix anything. Now they "think" it might be the Catalytic system, but District doesn't want to pay for it. 40K on the vehicle. District and Corporate don't provide much help. They end up swapping parts. It's been three weeks and they still have no idea what they did to it.

When at a stop, when you accelerate, it is very uneven acceleration

I think the Sorento hybrid is being misrepresented. Purchased my 2021 model on 12/31/2020. Over 46,000 miles I've gotten an actual 38.5 mpg during mostly highway driving. (Actual because I track miles and gallons in a spreadsheet. Onboard display shows 44 mpg) How did/do I do it? I broke it in as recommended, and it uses not one drop of oil between changes. Mine is driven gently, rarely exceeding 65 mph. Per the maintenance schedule, just had the brake fluid replaced. Tech was impressed that my brake pads are 9/32 inch thick. (New ones are 12/32) In summary, owners reporting problems are likely doing things that adversely affect reliability. E.G., not performing proper break-in, exceeding speed limits, twisting the shift control before "Ready to Drive" is displayed, etc. Edmunds prompted me to update my review, so here it is: 12/24/2024 - 50,370 miles and hoping to survive the Cape Canaveral trip to Tampa today. The Sorento hybrid is the best vehicle I've owned in my 75 years! Over 38 miles per gallon and I never need to find an outlet to plug into. I am in a Sorento hybrid facebook group and some are reporting loss of power problems. They are mostly people with PHEV's (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle). While I cannot prove it, I believe they are having fuel go bad. Ethanol blended gasoline starts separating (ethanol vs gas) after 3 months. While using as much electricity for propulsion as possible their gas goes bad, affecting fuel injectors and their gas engines refusing to start when called upon. Also, the owner's manual calls for adding fuel injector cleaner periodically, and I do. Do they? I believe, as I've posted in the group a number of times, that there are far more cases of vehicle abuse than there are actual lemon vehicles. These reviews would be more beneficial if commenters were encouraged to provide whether they followed recommended break-in procedures and their driving styles. If anyone wants an economical vehicle that has more space than a sedan, AND is a gentle driver, the Sorento HEV/PHEV is a GREAT choice. However, if someone is looking to haul/tow like a pickup and drives like he/she is in NASCAR - they are likely to be disappointed.
