2022 Kia Sorento // A Surprising Number of UPDATES for 2022!

[@kevincisneros4290]

My wife and I couldn't be any happier with our 2021 Kia Sorento. Honestly one of the best Mid-Size SUV's out there. We have the AWD S model and it has so many features! I will say this, if you are looking to get a EX or SX for the navigation, the s trim is equiped with both Android and Apple auto. Therefore, navigation isn't really needed if I'm honest. But to each their own. I can go on and on about it, but ill keep it short and to the point. You will not regret getting this car. It definitely is a eye grabber. Prepare to be looked at while driving it. 😅

[@CH3FSN1P3Z]

I’m 20 and currently have the 21 X-Line SX Prestige. I love it and get stared at all the time. I not no difference except the price between the 21 and 22 as well as the seat memory ( bought 100% on my own before start thinking I had helpful parents )

[@swimmer8585]

I’m a truck and off road suv fan. The usual standard I hold newer SUVs to is generally the 4runner. And this thing looks nice. I know it’s not a hardcore off roader like the 4runner, but this thing looks good and it looks like it can take you up a dirt road to a nice fishing hole. Good on Kia

[@tbone4919]

You forgot to mention the rear hatch wiper to be up above and hidden in sight to give a clean look and better visibility from the front.

[@vrod6525]

Brough my 2021 Kia Seltos S for an oil change, I saw this one lol and driving it home. What a beauty!!!

[@GREATNESS275]

Guys, I'm a Hyundai guy generally but I also like the Kia Brand, & especially the Sorento. Really like the modern clean lines of this New 2022 Sorento. Has all the tech, safety & ride/handling dynamics one could ever want. Not crazy about the design of those early 70's air vents, but oh well. Rest of the IP, center stack, seats look great. May be my next purchase. Thanks once again guys!

[@Shadownian]

Hyundai does now own Kia….so your supporting Hyundai either way.

[@OffroadTV2023]

Aside from the +$40k price tag, there is no other SUV that offers so many features in this segment. This has more equipment than most luxury vehicles. 👌🏽

[@adilsagadiyev5090]

@hon solo rav4 is worst than this in many ways, also the rav4 doesn’t compete with this the Kia Sportage does

[@hellkitty1014]

Still looks great. Last year's SX buyers got scammed now that there is the memory seat function and better driver sear comfort. I still find it odd that Kia hasn't added the digital gauge cluster to the Telluride nor Stinger, their two most expensive models.

[@MightyMako]

They’ve made a few questionable decisions. The PHEV models get the dial shifter, yet the SXP has a standard gear stick. And why only allow the lowest trim level to have wireless connectivity to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto? Still, the interiors for the Sorento are far better and more refined than that of the Telluride. What the scallop?

[@cizzlen07]

yeah telluride is falling behind. looking to trade mine in after only 2 years

[@kearneyjohnl7]

Stay away from the Sorento's! I brought a 2021 Kia Sorento SX X-Line Prestige AWD in January. June 11th, my transmission went out. It's been in the shop since then. Kia didn't give me a loaner or anything. I had to purchase a second vehicle and been going through a hell of a process with Kia. It's a smooth deal until something goes wrong. Currently awaiting the buy back process. Reading different reviews, a lot of the 2021 have had transmission issues. They replaced working on 3rd transmission on my truck.

[@RPG__Dave]

They are Kia fanboys here and will never say anything negative. Stay away from Kia / Hyundai. Look at the current recalls for all the hybrids going on. They are replacing whole engines.

[@ShawnDavid91]

Damn!

[@hellkitty1014]

Oddly enough, Hyundai/Kia has suffered transmission problems for years now. Their DCTs are as fragile as a glass egg.

[@chrissimmons9969]

True story my bought new 2016 Kia Soul suffered catastrophic engine failure at 72,000 miles. I will say though…..Kia did honor their powertrain warranty and they put a remanufactured engine in the vehicle. I ended up trading the car in within 2 weeks of getting it back. I couldn’t in good conscience recommend a Kia product to anyone I know.

[@kearneyjohnl7]

@@chrissimmons9969 I'm sorry you had to go through that. They honored their warranty with my truck too. The only issue is----the first transmission didn't work. The second transmission was missing things off of it. Currently awaiting 3rd transmission. I most definitely don't want it back. They're quick to sell you a vehicle, but dragging their feet with this buy back process. I had to get my attorney General on board and that made them speed up just a little bit. I loved Kia until this. I had a 2019 Kia Optima S before the Sorento. This has just been a mess and a blessing in disguise at the same time.

[@MrPsalms207]

Literally clicked JUST to see if they added memory seats. So glad they did. I honestly think that it was an unfortunate oversight for the 2021 model. With all the tech that a fully loaded Sorento comes with, I can't imagine that they would intentionally leave out memory seats. Idk about y'all, but for me a fully loaded vehicle NOT having memory seats is a deal breaker these days. Great video, as always, guys! 👍🏾

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

I have a really I suspicion that the lack of memory seats and other small features were due to supply constraints.

The phev models are out in dealerships, but they quickly get sold. Hope you guys are able to review one soon!

[@MetalMafia]

@Jackie Apreil Fyi they are out in New Jersey, New York, and Canada, that I know for sure

[@MetalMafia]

@Jackie Apreil The HEV starts at $33,990 and the PHEV starts at $44,990 (but you get around $6500 in tax credits post purchase, sending it to around $38,490). About the tax credit, this means you will be paying in full for the vehicle, meaning that you will be taxed on the $44,990 price, not the $38,490. There is no tax credit on the HEV. HEV comes in trims S and EX, while PHEV starts at trim SX and then SX Prestige. HEV has mpg of 39 mpg (37 AWD), PHEV has 35 mpg without any charge (AWD only) and 32 miles electric only (fully charged) and 79 MPGE combined when using both gas and electric.

[@MetalMafia]

@Jackie Apreil Maybe your state may be one of the states that it does not get sold in. The Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV only gets sold in specific states, maybe it's the same for the Sorento PHEV.
