2024 Kia Telluride vs 2024 Kia Sorento: Which SUV Should You Buy?

[@lil5713]

7:00 you can change it so that the speedometer changes with the modes in the settings. Just got a 24 xpro and did that

[@Ricky-mo6mv]

Honestly, I think the Sorento looks better than the Telluride now. Those amber DRLs make quite a statement on the road and look amazing. Doesn’t really work well with the red color option though.

[@SuperTipsLLCs35]

The kia telluride has more cargo room and more seating for passengers

[@Elmosafirtv]

And more expensive 😅

[@halloklouey6885]

​@@Elmosafirtvexactly, it's like compare Palisade vs Santa Fe

[@jayczyzyk9707]

Outstanding journalism

[@ursaminor3740]

They reallocated the Sorento. It used to be in the same category as the Hyundai Santa Fe, where Telluride is to Palisade.

[@patrickmcglynn1098]

Just bought Serento sx, love it!

[@jaspermcfly2765]

Thanks!

[@davidransom7345]

What trim level were each? It seemed that the Sorento had a higher level.

[@HarleyMartinez-t6e]

I would (if I could) buy a Kia TELLURIDE & a Kia SORENTO (on the trailer) behind the KIA TELLURIDE

[@TechT1999]

I don't need the 3rd row but i want the space. My daily has been a Toyota Avalon for the last 10+ years so I am use to the space if offers. So I have been looking at the Telluride in a SX Prestige package plus ome addons. I don't drive offroad so no need for a offroad look or setup.

[@paultyrrell4586]

If you DONT need a third row, get the sorrento. Similar size, seat folds down and slightly cheaper plus better gas mileage*

[@ardravyakar]

@@paultyrrell4586you listened reason why I prefer sorento over telluride.. telluride is no doubt preferred by most but for me personally I will rarely need 3rd row seating and telluride doesn’t have hybrid option

[@Marvin-fn7ks]

We bought a24 telluride SX Prestige in Florida and are so impressed. We are considering either for our Canadian vehicle, we have a 2020 Lexus RX 450H in Canada and the Kia is hands down a better drive except the engine doesn’t seem as refined. I would like to see some noise level comparisons . Does the Sorento have laminated glass as the Telluride does and it is so quiet. One overall beef with Kia is you can’t lock the door from them inside as you leave . You must use the outside lock button or the fob . No good reason for this not being a programable option . Also not a big fan over the walk up open/close lift gate . Kick sensor is better in our opinion.

[@jimmy5634]

Yes, the Mazda CX 5 base model has that feature.

[@jakey20022]

I would get the kia hybrid. I like the wolf grey color. I would avoid the 2.5 turbo due to the double clutch transmission. The only thing i don't like on the kia is the radio controls. But i usually use the steering wheel controls for my radio on my 18 forte.

[@KenMcCune-wb3jp]

Telluride looks good for a suv I like Telluride

[@calitruckdriver2025]

Same here I’m still contemplating either Kia Telluride or this. And all frost white Pearl white or a olive green

[@StarShippCaptain]

Fine down-to-earth Review. Well done. I'd go for the Sorento. Don't need a bigger vehicle. I also prefer the Sorento Engine for power. Previously I was looking at the Sante Fe, but when they went BOXY with the 2024, it's OUT. Thanks Again!

[@woods1066]

I need advice please 🙏🏼 I am seriously considering the Sorento X-pro sx prestige. I have driven both Sorento and Telluride in the same trim. I like the size and features of Sorento best. I have back problems and I need a comfortable seat for hour or more drive. What is your opinion on the seats in the Sorento as far as long drive and comfort? Any advice would help, thanks!

[@LAsiaOut10Count]

I had a 2020 ex loved it recently got hit by a red light drunk driver he totaled my car but I got a bruise on my shoulder that was it! My car held up and kept me safe and alive!!!! For a smaller suv they are super safe! I’m upgrading to the telluride which was my first pick but was out of my budget back then. Hope this helps

[@nellnell2002]

The Telluride has a seat massager that comes on every 30 minutes

[@jaysteph2978]

Did you specify what trim they are?

[@sflscott11]

We considered both when we wanted to replace our 155k mile 17' Sorento. We were kinda surprised that the new 25' Sorento cost as much or more than the 24' Telluride. In the end, we chose the Telluride SX AWD. We liked the bigger size and the V6 for higher mileage long-term ownership. Not quite sure of the turbo's long term reliability.

[@SkodzGaming]

in canada telluride is 200/month more expansive O.o

[@bubblehead7680]

For me, when I buy what I believe to be my last car (retirement), I want something with good gas mileage. The Telluride has the size I want (like the Grand Highlander), but I wish it has the option for the Sorento engine. That is probably the one thing that will prevent me from getting the Telluride.

[@randyp9491]

I have a 24 Telluride as my retirement vehicle and the best I can get around town is 12 mpg. with that being said the highlander was on my short list but it is extremely smaller on the inside. if you don't need the room go for the highlander. I love the Telluride , in hindsight I would had gotten a higher trim level....I have the S trim with added awd and a sunroof.

[@grantv2313]

The sorento has a 4 cylinder turbo because it’s a lighter smaller vehicle. The turbo is to get more out of the 4 cylinder. The Telluride has the V6 without the turbo. So you don’t really want the sorento engine in the telluride but you’d like a turbo option for the v6. Which would probably add thousands to the price and they wouldn’t sell enough of them because it wouldn’t be worth the extra performance or they would have done it. They certainly have a lot of trim levels.

[@JoseDiaz-qw7mg]

Either Hyundai/Kia will make the Palisade/Telluride full sized vehicles, or they are going to discontinue them in favor of the Santa Fe/Sorento. There's no reason for them to have 2 very similar 3-row midsize SUVs.

[@JoseDiaz-qw7mg]

@Brian_Eugene_Lee good to know if true, but why wait that long instead of launching the redesign alongside the Santa Fe and Sorento?

[@paultyrrell4586]

Wish you included which trims cuz trims do matter

[@larful]

bought a 2025 Sorento , if you're tall be aware your knee will grind the hard plastic center console and you will need an aftermarket Knee pad. I'm not joking this car is not for tall people. same leg room as my 2017 Q7 but on the books the leg room never talks about the design of the center console or the position of the pedals. Be ready if you are over 6'2" tall you will need a knee pad. I am 6'7" tall and a majority of my height is in my legs. I went and measured a Telluride the console is a padded handle which is in the same knee grinding position yes it is padded but it's not a big enough surface to add an aftermarket Knee pad. so I opted to not go with a Telluride. some say maybe don't man spread and you won't hit the console. well fine, but try keeping your leg in mid-air driving for hours on end it would be exhausting.

[@sonyat4813]

How are these basically the same price?

[@MikeStewart-rg5zp]

Do you ever use signals

[@thum9767]

it would be more helpful if you could display on screen which car you're showing per shot. it got a little confusing knowing which one you were showing until you mentioned it.

[@MisterMister5893]

The griswald ghost buster station wagon.

[@anthonyvitelli39]

Kia pricing these two so close is giving me vibes of what Mazda is doing with the CX-70/CX-90 (except they're both essentially the same dimensions and design, inside and out)

[@yvettesanchez6804]

I was very much on the Telluride Covid bandwagon 😂 ended up getting a 2024 sore to x-line this year and scoff at them now. Sorentos are bad ass! Telluride like so five years ago LOL

[@christyp7764]

Both look nice but sorry to is wayyy better on fuel economy. I did some research

[@go4everwon309]

Both of them looks good inside but under hood's reliability and long term ownership????????

[@warrenfreas6010]

Exactly, no review of the two different drivelines reliability, which should be the critical decision in choosing a new vehicle.

[@brianwells353]

Why did Kia make 2 very similar SUV's around the same price point? You would thing that there would be substantial differences between the two.

[@ms.rubyj.4259]

Yeah, and he found it hilarious that they have the same extremely boxy look. So what's up with that, and why didn't they change it? That doesn't make much sense to me.

[@CapitanosMediaLLC]

Sorento INTERIOR feels more spacious to me than the telluride.... Telluride feels bulky with a surprisingly smaller interior feel.

[@mekailahmcchriston1775]

I hate they dont make the Telluride with the moon roof. They only come w double sunroof

[@yungcoa4975]

11:22 that Honda suv suck at driving ngl, CHOOSE A LANE

[@Mike-tq7jd]

Had a 2011 Sorento, traveled well but long distances had a numbing effect after 4 hours. Going big bc of transmission, comfort, and elbow room. Have to have a bench second seat!

[@btk03z19]

The radio quality sucks on the Kia's... premium audio my ass... almost bought the Sorento today and passed cuz of radio quality!

[@devotee8]

[@DavidAlbion-m5m]

Telluride seemed Much quieter ride!😳😎🙄

[@gene978]

Thank You! If you have the room the Telluride has the more room and should bring more $$$ at resale.

[@Jcruzer70]

0 reason to pay the same or similar price for the smaller car with the rougher ride and less room.

[@aaudi620]

I don't want a large SUV, Telluride uses more gas with V6, optional 3rd row if I ever have more than 4 ppl in my car (2x a yr maybe), plus I want a PHEV. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@lil5713]

They are different trim levels, the top trim telluride is like 5k more than the top trim sorento

[@emmanuelsantoyo78]

I got a sorrento because the hybrid option. 227 hp 1.6 turbo hybrid that averages 41 mpg

[@generynkewicz4871]

Telluride V6 is weak sauce. No torque. Waiting for Kia to put the 3.3 twin turbo from the stinger in the new X-Pro. Wishful thinking. 😢

[@NorthwoodsTech]

Many comments - but just to help you improve. Please speak more slowly. You hardly finish one word before beginning the next. It was very hard for me to follow. Shine your shoes and wipe down any spots on the cars. It just looks shabby. Don't continuously swing your camera around. It's hard for the autofocus to keep up and I'm getting vertigo. Attention to these small details will vastly improve the "likability" of your videos. Your content is ok.

[@ms.rubyj.4259]

YES! I thought it was just me - having trouble understanding much of what he was saying. He talked too fast and just seemed to run all the words/sentences together. Sometimes the speech was rather mumbled & slurred, and I had to constantly replay. At times, I didn't know which vehicle he was describing. It's as if he rushed through the whole presentation part of the demo. Hopefully, he'll consider these comments as constructive criticism for improvement, and NOT a personal attack.

[@LAsiaOut10Count]

All I can see is that cream colored station wagon in the background. Man they don’t make cars like they used to. It looks like a tank!!!!!

[@jimmy5634]

Starts both engines up and revs them…not too smart.

[@WokeHostility]

Attention- This is a public service announcement. If you buy a Kia you are out of your mind. It will break often. The paint may even fly off. Oh wait. Kia is better now…nevermind!

Neither ☠️

[@TruckingShooter]

Toyota highlander

[@AlexAlex-gs1xh]

But I think these have more features and I would prefer a non v6 engine for gas mileage.

[@robertkees6048]

They're both too square, too boxy, it seems all the SUV's today are getting boxy and ugly, it's a horrible trend.

[@CSTLSRY]

These cars are so ugly. They hurt my eyes. I am forced to look away. Why would anyone buy this distopian wannabe.

Buy a Pilot, Passport, Atlas, Pathfinder, Grand Cherokee or anything else that’s NOT a Kia or Hyundai! 👎🏻🤦🏻‍♂️

[@qwertyuiop2994]

Interesting, but why? I've been driving a Tucson for the past 4 years, and I didn't face any mech issues
