Very happy owner

Bought the SX Prestige model and am very pleased - feels luxurious, has good performance and is perfect size/utility for my family of four (2 teenagers). My only gripe is that the turbo engine has to be pushed hard off the line, but otherwise performs great. Still early in its life, but very happy so far

Best vehicle I’ve ever owned!

I bought my 2022 Sorento prestige a little over a month ago. Honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! This suv has plenty of room, very sleek and amazing features. When driving, it’s like the car isn’t even on because of how quiet it is! I love that it has heated and cooled seats, gas mileage is great. It honestly has the quality you would expect from your high end car brands. I couldn’t be happier with my choice!

After owning a 2019 lexus F sport, never thought a Sorento could compete the lexus! Boy, my wife and I were totally taken by surprise! What a supper nice riding and easy access to all navigation and driving settings.

I love my new car! I am 5’0 so it’s hard for me to get good visibility in SUVs but this car is easy to see and very easy to drive. I especially love the captains chairs and my third row for my kids or their friends. Adults fit comfortably in the third row as well as long as the captains chairs are moved up a little.

I bought the car brand new and in 9-months have already had to replace the transmission and the air conditioning system. To make matters worse Kia didn't even give me a new transmission they gave me a refurbished one. I will NEVER buy another Kia and will go back to Honda. The car looks beautiful and three rows is great but mechanically it is a total piece of junk.

Good overall but has some weird hiccups

overall we really like the car and it has been well worth it. What we don't like are the small things where we have to restart the car to get something to turn off. it is almost like a glitch with the technology from time to time.

Kia Sorento Prestige X-Line SX Prestige LEMON!!

I ordered my Sorento got it in October 2022. I loved the features and how it drove. Next day I went to drive it to work and noticed there were oil drips. I called Kia and said I needed to make an appointment and they said not to worry it was probably just because the car was new and to give it a week or so to burn off the coating. To make a long story short the car leaked oil from day one. It has been in to find the leak for over a year! Each time promising me that the leak was fixed only to have to return because it wasn’t fixed! So after a year of taking it in and I kept complaining that it wasn’t fixed. They found the leak it was the rear seal. So I took it in for them to fix the seal. After two days at the dealership they called to tell me they found another leak coming from the transmission!! So now it’s still in the shop and they won’t give me a new car instead a new transmission but don’t know when it will come in. What a joke! Find another dealer and DO NOT BUY A KIA!!

56,000 miles and counting and I still love my 2022 Kia!!! I travel on I-95 a lot. And this beautiful SUV keeps me rolling. It’s stunning to look at and enjoyable to drive. The many features (technology) are the best! I absolutely loved it in 2022 and still love it in 2024!!!! Previous Review: I bought my first Sorento (SX) in 2012. A few weeks ago, with180,000 miles and still going strong, I gave it to my son-in-law. After leasing a 2021 Seltos, I realized it just didn't provide the family comfort needed for long road travel. So back to Kia I went...and I ended up with my Grey Wolf Kia Sorento S. It is absolutely stunning to look at, and the feel of it is wonderfully comfortable. The technology is, in my view some of the best I have enjoyed over the years of renting cars while traveling. And it has perks that the Lexus GX 460 doesn't have (not that I am comparing). Bottom line.... I love, love, love it. I find reasons to get in it and drive. As noted, I'm a bit older than most, but at this moment...I am a Kia Kid :)!!!

So far I love everything about my Sorento, so many bells and whistles I have yet to explore! I love how it handles and rides so smooth and quiet. It feels very safe, spacious and comfortable. Definitely feels like a high end car should, but at an average affordable price.

First off, I am sold on Kia. I've owned 3 of them, " telluride", "Sportage", and now a "Sorento". My 2023 Sorento is a pleasure to ride in and a THRILL to drive. I chose to go with the turbo version and I have to tell you, this thing will pin you to your seat if you nail it. That is not the only reason but was certainly a SUPER Strong point to purchase. I bought the SX Prestige model in wolf gray and black. I've already had many compliments on this car. The interior is luxurious and the ride is sweet. But the performance is OUTSTANDING! But that's not all, It comes with a leading industry warranty. You won't be disappointed
