I did a lot of homework before my purchase. By far the Sorento has the best quality, interior, and technology. The navigation and blue tooth are very user friendly. In addition, the vehicle is so so quiet, it is hard to believe as there are extra insulation and acoustic glass. Kia engineers hit a home run on the build quality. The more I drive this vehicle the more I really enjoy it and can appreciate such great quality. Even the electric steering has great road feel, since Kia placed the motor on the steering rack. This is the first Kia I have owned and I never thought I would buy a Kia, but I am sold now. Kia hired an engineer from Audi and he has really upped the quality. I would put this crossover up against Lexus any day of the week. The front seats are very comfortable and supportive so you do not get driver fatigue. You will not be disappointed and you must include this vehicle on your short list if you are in the market. We have owned this crossover for a year now and still love it. No issues and every time we drive it, we more and more appreciate the great build quality. After 5 years still really like this crossover. Just wish it had port injectors along with the GDI it has. Port injectors keep the top of the valves from coking. Have to spray intake cleaner into the throttle body every 5,000 miles and it really makes a difference in the performance. Other than that the vehicle has been maintenance free. After 45,000 miles still enjoying the Sorento SXL and has been maintenance free. You can't go wrong with this vehicle. As of 10/22/22 I have 49,000 miles on it. Still runs and performs the day it was new. The V6 is the best engine. Well it is now 4/23/23 and have 54,000 miles. No issues at all, still performing and running great. Get a lot of compliments as people really like the V6 vs the I4. It is a shame Kia did away with the V6 on current models. It is now 10/24/23, currently have 58,000 miles and still runs like a charm. This has been a great crossover. No issues or maintenance headaches. Now it is 4/25/24 and currently have 62,000 miles. No issues or maintenance headaches. Really like this vehicle. It is now 10/25/24 and have 66k trouble free miles. No issues, runs and looks great. Sold the vehicle in 11/24 with 66K trouble free miles, new owner was glad to get in as it was well maintained.

Best SUV for the money

Leased this SUV for 3 years this past week. I choose the snow white pearl with merlot leather interior. I traded 2 other vehicles in for this one as my wife and I didn't need 2 since we are retired. I have leased over 20 vehicles in the past 20 years including BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Lexus. The Sorento is one of the best vehicles I have ever leased. I have the SX with Advanced Technology package which includes Lane Departure Warning, Advanced smart cruise control, Forward Collision Warning Autonomous Emergency Warning and Electronic Parking Brake. I added remote start and Home link rear view mirror. The build quality is exceptional, doors close with a solid thud like the German cars, and interior quality is as good or better than Lexus RX350. Interior noise levels are exceptionally low with no tire hiss being heard in the rain which makes listening to the very good 10 speaker Infinity sound system even better. Heated and ventilated front seats are great along with the heated steering wheel. The 3rd row isn't that roomy but I will probably not use it that much but cargo room behind the second row is very good. If you will use the 3rd row often this may not be your best choice. Reliability isn't known yet since I only have 650 miles on the SUV. I hope this helps anyone looking to purchase an suv.

Well built. We have a new Lexus LS 500 while it too is well built and very plush, The KIA Electronics are much easier to operate.

I researched the Kia Sorento along with other vehicles with 3rd row seating. I wanted a 6 cyl, awd vehicle and luv, luv, luv this vehicle. It's smooth ride, feels like your riding on a cloud. My son hooked up my phone to the vehicle 's Bluetooth--so nice to answer and have your phone contacts at your finger tips. It's got tons of leg room both front and back. I haven't had it long enough to know everything about it but finding something new everytime I get in it. and you can set your mode to regular, economy, or sport when driving and it tells you how many miles per gallon your getting as you drive. and how many miles you have on the tank of gas which I find very helpful. I keep it on the economy setting and this rig has get up and go when you need to move. Such a smooth running vehicle. Absolutely love this rig. The price you pay for this rig versus the other rigs I looked at are not even in the ball park for what you get for the money. And I found out KIA's are made in the USA in Georgia. I wanted a rig that wasn't going to cost me an arm and a leg that would house my grandchildren (8) this rig has 3rd row seating and sits up to 7. I bought a used 2017.

We have now owned our Sorento EX Touring v6 for almost exactly one year. It is simply an amazing car, rock solid in 22k miles. I have owned Audi, Infiniti, multiple Porsches... And this car's refinement is as good or better, hard to believe. We cross shopped the XC90, GL 450 and this has all the features we wanted at literally half the price! We rented a loaded Volvo for a week and couldn't wait to give it back, so many minor annoyances. Kia is tops with CR and JD Power, and the safety features are top shelf. If you have a family, you simply have to test drive a Sorento. Tons of safety features, powerful v6, super comfortable ride and whisper quiet cabin. Much quieter than the XC90, 7db quieter than the Q7. Put up the rear sunshades and your toddler will be out in no time ! I honestly don't know know they are making money at the prices these are selling for. Lastly I will say this, the Sorento and Cayenne sit side by side in our garage. If one of us needs a car..... with or without kids, the Kia gets chosen 100pcnt of the time. Porsches are incredible machines - that's the highest complement I can give the Kia. It is the closest thing to a perfect CUV you will find.
