Nice ride, leather, and beautiful radio display. Not as quite on highway as it should, it's ok. The cruise control looses speed constantly due to the 8 speed transmission. I was constantly using manual shift to gear down into 7th gear to get the speed back up to 75 on cruise control. The transmission has too much overdrive loosing power.

After 18,000 miles, I love my 21 Sorento EX X-Line just as much as I did when I bought it. It has the 3rd row for family trips to the zoo with Grandma - and after adding a cargo box to the roof, usable for road trips - though no one over 5’8” should spend more than an hour back there unless they’re being punished for something. With the seats down, it’s a 4 seater with tons of cargo space. This is 98% of the time for me. The turbo engine and DCT transmission pair in an attempt to offer both fuel efficiency AND speed when you want or need it, and while imperfect (the DCT is clunky in early gears and has recalls against it), it does a very good job at both - especially for the money. At 18k, I matched the Edmunds number of 22.8 mpg all time, though I have often gotten between 28-31 mpg on a 30 minute highway commute to work, and as high as 34mpg on a road trip that didn’t require the cargo box. The drive itself is confident and capable, steering is softer than I’d prefer but pleasant overall. Because it’s so fast, it often doesn’t feel like you’re driving an SUV… until you hit a turn too fast, and your wife stares daggers through your soul as you ease off the accelerator sheepishly. I love driving this car - even after 18k miles. That feeling right after you get a new car when you’re excited to have to drive it to the store.. “What we’re out of milk?! No problem, I’ll be back!” That hasn’t gone away for me… I am always happy to get behind the wheel and go. AWD has come in handy once or twice as well when we had a lot of snow. The interior is still looking great - I get so many compliments from people when they first get in it - always shocked at how nice it is. The faux wood trim is seriously some of the best I’ve seen or felt. Sound system is weak - not a KIA strong suit. It gets the job done though for most. I appreciate the tactile buttons still being around for climate control, volume, etc… though, the right side of the infotainment system is a stretch for me and I’m 6’2”. Might have been a better idea to tilt the center console like the newer Telluride does. Overall the interior has held up well - though please note: any hard touch plastic surface is prone to scratches and blemishes that are damn hard to remove. That includes everything south of the wood trim on the dash, and everything south of the padded arm rests on the doors. Also includes the back of the seats… and while I appreciate the backs being plastic (to protect), the very point of having plastic seat backs is to be able to keep them clean easily. It takes a lot of effort to get my littlies foot prints off the back of the passenger seat. Last quibble - the seats are far less comfy than the Telluride. Less padding, less leg length.. less width. They’re not uncomfortable day to day - but on longer road trips, I found myself doing a lot of adjusting and readjusting to ease the discomfort. Overall - I agree with the 8.2 score. It’s a beautiful, quick, practical vehicle that can be whatever you need or want it to be. With the included safety features, and 100,000 mile warranty, it’s got the most bang for your buck in its class. 2021 Kia Sorento EX X-Line (They only made a few hundred at end of production cycle, never marketed as available trim) 18,158 miles Mods: Window Tint to match factory, Yakima Timberland X-Bars, Thule Motion XXL Cargo Box

Car is beautiful to look at, and rides like a dream. Had a Turbo 4 cylinder engine that drives like a V6. So many extra features that save you money by conserving gas. Roomy and comfortable

We were in the market for a Telluride. But soon found out it was a little too beg for me to maneuver. We got a 2021 Sorento SX Prestige. It's been on 2 road trips so far and just had his 1st oil change. Love mine!!
