You should do a Santa Fe hybrid vs sorento hybrid comparison

[@brokeboy87]

The gloss black in the interior is dragging it down from being a true SX trim. I wish KIA would use a different material in the cabin. The rest of the changes look amazing in this ride.

[@kevinranders]

Agreed that gloss/piano black should never be used in car. It becomes ugly very quickly.

[@JJ-ek2ec]

I bought Hyundai Tucson back in 2014 for her college and I just helped my daughter move from Denver to San Francisco for her internship last week, Tucson has been great totally reliable small SUV for her and for me as well. It has been 10 plus years without single issue!!!

[@na3093na]

Great walkthrough video, thanks guys. I just received mine yesterday, GCC full options 3.5L 270hp. Still discovering the car, this video will help alot. Appreciate your efforts, many thanks.

[@CarConfections]

Congrats and glad you found the review helpful!

[@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790]

Brilliant review guys.

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Love your car video

[@Target135]

Love the spec dump up front!

[@darriontunstall3708]

It’s very nice

[@stargate25645]

Wasted center console space, no HUD, and no third row vents are a killer compared to the Santa Fe.

[@WilliamTaylor19470515]

Two issues for me, 1. Third row is useless. 2. Need to be able to tow 3500 lbs min.

[@leiffabian175]

what is the range on a full tank on this sorrento?

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

Great review guys & I consider buy this 1 day.

[@randyhutton5890]

Good dialog but you need to elliminate using "as well" so darn often...it is annoying. Keep up the good work.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Excellent review as per usual!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks and have a great Sunday!

[@danymanchster1759]

third row is not a bonus but rather necessity since they force a captain seat

[@davidethan4354]

Wow !! There is not much cargo space Trunk is super narrow I think I can not put anything in there could I put a cooler for family trip ?

[@acche-rc]

Weird how come US spec doesn't have air vents on the 3rd row?? I think they're essential

[@jimmyquek6536]

Best car

[@matthewflakes1481]

I found the last model hybrid with the same powertrain to be heavy and slow. They need to beef up the electric motor or add another one to the rear axle.

[@danhall3450]

Generally speaking, I'm a fan of Kias and would consider this as potential replacement for my Subie Outback. I currently have a Kia Niro & the dual purpose screen for HVAC & radio is problematic. I must take my eyes off the road to make adjustments to the HVAC settings. The letters are on the smallish side & it quickly reverts back to Radio setting (in about 5 seconds). I am NOT a fan of the dual screen.

[@motmot2377]

I’m hoping they add the pano roof and wireless CarPlay to the 2025 telluride

[@cngforlife1]

Love your reviews. I'll hopefully be getting mine within this next week. Trading in my Telluride. California gas prices are insane. Glad to be going back to a Sorento, especially a hybrid one this time.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks and congrats! What color are you hoping to get?

[@cngforlife1]

@@CarConfections It's coming in a beautiful snow white pearl with gray interior. Excited for it!

[@tahran5782]

It's okay but I'm still going for the Hyundai Santa Fe

[@corybaizan5108]

what do you think about purchase of the platinum ext warranty for a 2024 Sonata hybrid? dealer says it’s half off at 2900.00 . i know that could cover computers if something happens

[@danymanchster1759]

kia continues with weird packages. just give us the option of bench seat with the hybrid. why is that so hard.

[@X_Mode_Gaming]

How does any ride over 30K not have HUD?

[@TheMrfree1985]

Have they revealed what they will replace their santa fe with

[@CarConfections]

We will be quite soon 👍

[@tiktoker3241]

First 🎉

[@brianmidwood3261]

Ive owned three Sorentos and they are all very well built and Reliable if serviced regularly No Cars are use and disposable 😊

[@taker610]

I'd only buy the hybrid, wouldn't consider the turbo because of that dual-clutch gearbox.

[@jakey20022]

The S trim has a true automatic transmission. With the 2.5 liter none turbo engine.

[@dsw.808]

Kia and Hyundai get treated badly because of things in the past. JD Power has given them great scores recently. I have a 2011 Sorento with 156K miles with no issues ever. Take care of your care and it'll take care of you!

[@thomasb.1124]

Past yes I agree but present isn't all great. A massive amount of transmission failures on new models.

I know it’s hard for you guys to keep straight faces when reviewing Hyundai products at this point!

[@Sincerely903]

Buying hybrid from a company who can't do ICE properly is gambling

[@jakey20022]

I have a 18 Kia forte S 107k no engine issues so far

[@tatersquad2000]

For the people who think the reliability is bad, have you been taking a nap for 15 years? It's right up there with most other brands.

[@user-gh5nw1yy4n]

crap vehicle from a crap company,

[@1976axerhand]

Same bad engines....too soon.xd

[@thomasb.1124]

Unfortunately, Kia and Hyundai are still very unreliable long term vehicles. I have had many friends and family have total engine failures. There is a reason they give a 10 year 100k warranty because they are not made to go past this. Definitely still would not recommend unless you lease only.

[@mateomossey]

I totally agree. Once they hit 100k miles they start falling apart.

[@zackeryjones2314]

Well my mom has 2015 kia sorento lx has 175,000 miles on it still going strong with no engine or tranmission issues

[@justpray365]

Maybe young people are drawn to them because so many underage children made the parts.🫣

[@dsw.808]

2011 Sorento with 156K miles and no issues ever.

[@thomasb.1124]

@@zackeryjones2314 This is great! not saying it isnt possible. But percentage wise more fail than last as long as your Moms. Same with Jeeps some can over 300k and many break down before 30k. Glad your Moms is still going strong!

[@marki61422]

Piece of crap, transmissions don't last.

[@jakey20022]

This one has a true automatic transmission not a DCT TRANSMISSION. Yes I won't get the DCT transmission. I have an 18 Kia forte S model right now with 107k. No transmission issues at all with this car.

[@patrickgagnon9662]

Did not learn your KIA/Hyundai lesson .

[@JordanX_97YT]

Just stop, these things are garbage

[@charlesjackson1700]

They sure are!!!
