It was the right choice for me

It’s a rocket once you learn how to use the transmission stable ride, quiet ,handles Better than a grand Cherokee. Have taken it on quite a few long trips and it’s easy to spend the whole day in it. Visibility is excellent. Needs more padding on the touch points for your elbows 1/2 inch of foam can’t be that much more expensive than 1/4 inch. Plastic trim on the car appears to be clear coated because it is not scratching after many washes. outside door pillars are Getting spiderweb swirls

Good choice for an economy vehicle

Don't mistake the Sorento for a luxury SUV. In the economy class it stands alone as one of the few small SUV's with a 3rd row. The car looks nice from the outside. The car looks OK from the inside. The touch screen display is GOOD too. But the fake leather seats seem to really hold heat. There's no seat cooling on the X line, i'm not sure about the others. Only some of the seats are electronic. The tires were excellent. But other than that NOTHING was excellent about the vehicle. There's MANY reports of vibration on the highway. I felt it at anything over 40mph. The ride was also literally NAUSEATING around neighborhood roads. I really wanted to like the car, it looks good and the price was good but loved absolutely nothing about it.

i have owned the 2023 sorento for two weeks now and i am happy with my purchase i like that it came with turbo i have a 2011 sportage that is turbo and it has zip when needed we have been a Kia owners for years and have never been disappointed i believe they listen to their customers and continue to upgrade the interior is nicer than its ever been i was disappointed that i am forced to have third row seating not something i need prefer bench seating for 2nd row more convenient for my needs and needed the extra cargo space one thing that is a pet peeve of mine are the headlights on vehicles these are the best i have ever used gave four stars because of lack of choice for seating configurations

Hate this car

The seating is uncomfortable. Arm rests are too low. Steering doesn't come out enough, have to reach forward to steer. The blower for the face is automatically on auto and you cannot set it to a temperature you like. It changes itself to match the temperature of the car so I actually get cold! The auto start is a joke. Again, auto on 72. Doesn't defrost the windows. The heated seats don't turn on. After running for a while, the car is cold when I enter it! The annoying beep when I am simply just walking a few feet to grab my Starbucks drink off the counter. It can beep to let me know the car is on but why does it have to be so loud, annoying and embarrassing? *Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep* And if the car is running, you cannot unlock any door from the outside except the driver's door. I can go on and on. This car is just plain annoying. Wish I never got it
