Test-drive similar models of luxury SUVs, then give this Kia a spin. Excellent value for the money.

Love my KIA

This 2017 KIA replaces my 2012 KIA and is much improved over the 2012. The 2012 is the very first 4 cylinder that I had ever purchased and it exceeded my expectations for performance particularly speed increase. The 2017 is every bit as good if not better.

its a comfortable car,its weakness,is gear shifting,the engine races and is slow to change when moving off at traffic lights,its city gas milage is bad,11-13 mpg in the city,it gets good on freeway when going over 50 mph,seats are too low so its hard to see,the front and back when parking or overtaking,lucky it has a reverse camera,it was good value in thanksgiving sales,it looks pretty good and is comfortable,if the transmission shifting and seats were higher it would be a great car,after driving many mountins,it cut out once in the middle of the road,another time it would not reverse,but I have not seen that problem appear,the v6 engine might be better,but it would have cost me $5000 extra,the 4 cylander is probably underpowered for the car,they should include a cover for the trunk,and remove the roof rails,they look ugly,road holding is good,i could not get cruise to work,for some reason,its a very good looking car and comfortable to drive,

2017 Kia Sorento

I bought my car brand new. First year my driver mirror had to be replaced. A year and a half later my atomic brake needed to be replaced. As of right now my engine light is on and they are working to find out why. My car has and is still in the kia shop. It’s been in there for 3 months. They gave me a rental which is very nice but it’s not the luxury car I purchased.

It says it is a 2019 but actually it is a 2017 Kia Sorrento. 50 months and 39,000 miles later, I still love it . Nothing has needed repair. Nothing. It handles well , it is a comfortable car to drive and it has retained its good looks. The GPS is easy to operate and its plenty roomy for me. I'm thinking this car will go 200,000 miles for me. We'll see. Its a good one.
