2014 Kia Sorento SX 4dr SUV AWD (3.3L 6cyl 6A)
9 of 9 people found this review helpful
Bought the Sorento SX AWD with 45k miles and after a year of heavy daily use (80k miles now) I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Just replaced the brakes and tires and it drives even better. It's big enough for seven passengers but small enough to zip through traffic and park in tight spaces. The overall driving experience is comfortable with a dose of sporty. My favorite features are the heated/ventilated front seats, rear camera, blind spot monitor and Bluetooth connectivity. Everything just works so well. Kia has done a great job. The only disappointment has been the fuel economy as I'm only averaging 18 mpg in mixed driving. But at least it takes regular unleaded. I anticipate the reliability to be very good even after the 100k mile drivetrain warranty expires. Update review: Just surpassed 100,000 miles. Still running strong with no major issues. Starting to get some noises from interior but that’s expected. Will have to repair stabilizer link as I’m hearing clunking noise from right front. The vehicle is literally driven everyday. It’s quite the workhorse. Worth every penny!

I have had my Sorento for a few months now and I still love driving it. I like the handling, the lack of road/wind noise, and all the extras that came with the LX model. Mine also came with the 3rd row seat package. The 3rd row is pretty small, but I love how the whole middle row can slide forward and back to give the 3rd row a little more room if needed. With that option, it makes having bigger people in the back a little more realistic. The 4 cylinder engine is surprisingly strong(though I haven't driven the V6) and it is enough power for most peoples needs. If price isn't a concern, obviously the V6 would be the way to go. As of now, I plan to keep buying Sorentos in the future.

We checked 6 different vehicles in this class before we purchased in April of 2013. Sorento had the best features for the price. Great ride. Little or no road noise. Acceleration is all we need. Handling is good. I am impressed with the breaking ability. The 6-speed trans sometimes downshifts more often than we are used to. We have the 7 pass and have not sat in the way back but mid seat is comfortable and roomy. Engine noise is a bit much on heavy acceleration as were all vehicles we tested. Cargo space with third seat down was good. Just took a trip with three adults w/luggage and a 50 qt(?) cooler. No problems and plenty of space. Exterior looks like many other brands. Ho hum.
WOW!

Just got the 2014 SXL model. What a great SUV!-- and this is coming from BMW-- which I will never buy again. The Sorento has great handling, pretty good gas mileage and it looks AWESOME! This is my first KIA and I have a feeling I will be a long time customer. Friends of mine also own the new Sorento and have told me that the reliability is fantastic. If you are in the market for a mid-size SUV, I would definitely recommend a test drive.

We live inWisconsin and therefore opted for the all wheel drive version. All systems working very well and generally we are completely satisfied with the decision to purchase. KIA engineers need however, to make the passengers seat fully adjustable. NO WAY TO RAISE SEAT LEVEL. You sit too low in the passenger seat ! This is the top of the line model with nearly every option, but there is no power adjustment for height of the seat. Very short sided on KIA's behalf .. Like the power of the engine and would not sacrifice the power for a bit more economy however there must be a way to engineer at least a few more mpg out of that engine. GREAT CAR OVERALL
