Off-Road: 2016 Kia Sorento AWD on Everyman Driver

[@ramoncarter6585]

Kia and Hyundai are doing so well with their lineup. Most of their vehicles looks luxurious and affordable making best bang for the buck.

[@SystemRichie]

Dude you definitely did NOT skip leg day LOL

[@lidolf8168]

I have a 2016 Kia Sore to AWD, V6. And the AWD lock is great for staying straight in the mud on Yokohama touring s tires. I'm gonna put all terrain tires and a lift kit on it, and try to get it to be a really solid trail car. Its no rock crawler but it should be able to handle any camping trail and moderate off-roading with good tires. It can definitely take a rock scrape lol.

[@joash480]

the only limit on it was its wheels. It was meant for paved road when you should have offroad wheels.

[@leviSyosef]

Lift it 2 inches put some real tires and do that route again

[@jampiserapah]

I'm eyeing this car for my next car. Get 4 pcs of Wildpeak AT Trail you know. Anyone knows about the AWD mechanism longevity?

[@curlytop242923]

When your talking ground clearance of these vehicles ? How come you never talk about Subaru Outback and the Forrester ground Clearance ? It's right up there with Kia , Dodge , Volvo, Hyundai. Have you done a test on the 2016 SUBARU'S ??

[@AngelaSchmidtcharismakitty]

Great video! Subscribed!

[@chico1014]

you got the horsepower and torque figures reversed but informative review

[@everymandriver]

+Victor Milani it's a good thing you caught it.

[@eganfo]

I love the Gauntlet portion.

[@austincordero7377]

Honestly I'm not feeling the off road reviews anymore. There's is a good chance that the people who buy these SUVs won't be using them off road. Can you do more real life driving? Like regular city traffic and then some highway miles as well instead of every other review an off road review

[@DrftingTrance]

plenty of normal driving review on KZbin, offroad reviews are more interesting

[@everymandriver]

+DrftingTrance good points by you both.

[@moonsapling]

Just ordered some good all terrains for my 2012 Sorento so yes there are people that take it offroad. In fact everyone in Europe, or at least in my country, takes their Sorento offroad.

[@younisalboloushi7423]

First instrumental name plz

[@gutmn1]

Damn, your legs...

[@watch3r9]

so much slip 8:45....

[@breeevian7015]

Dammit.....lol 😄

[@redneckindustries]

WORST test-drive ever!!! All you did was stay flat and drive in circles.... What can this VAN do??? Yes it is an AWD VAN!! Not a SUV.. Put some real-tires on it and see what this VAN can do!!!

[@snowman2834]

I actually bought a sorento v6 awd 2 months ago, took it to an ORV Park here in northern California and it did 10/10 I was very happy with the way it performed, climbed about 25 hills,a ton of terrain types ,no issues. had some problems with clearance but the awd system is brilliant.

[@BigChungusthe3rd]

Adrian B I'm hoping someone makes a lift kit

[@FUMan661]

Hey bro which park did you go to? I've got a 2017 V6 AWD, was thinking of selling it for a 4runner but if it's indeed capable I'd like to keep it. I just need light to sometimes moderate off road capability. I know it's not a 4runner but like I said I just need light to moderate, nothing crazy. Thanks.

[@moonsapling]

You can always lift it up ;) Or just give it some bigger offroad tires and you will earn 1 inch of clearance for free

[@saylsalcan2610]

@@moonsapling but bigger tyre won't fit because of the diameter

[@tomtalker2000]

@@saylsalcan2610 Sure it will depends on what size tire you have. Their quite a few in the Sorento's tire size too choose from.

[@snazari1994]

How much do you squat Dave ?

[@handas2]

Can you try it in regular mode (without any offroad features turned on), then try it again with all offroad feature enabled in future offroad videos?

[@smurf131cr]

It would have been better if you tested the v6.

[@tantonr42]

Nice video. Gives the feel of being there. Very relaxed, but informative presentation.

[@mattagarcia7684]

thank you so much! I have been waiting for a video like this one. I really like the Sorento!

[@LeatherandLuxuryCarsd]

That's impressive, pretty good size SUV loaded 240 ish HP 0 struggles at all.

[@M7_Gaming_]

love this Sorento, and love your work😊👍.

[@drink15]

I was just going to ask when you are going back to the 4 cam setup.

[@moraddagestani9066]

Everyman Driver, what do you think about safety of Kia Sorento? If I am a father of four and I want to buy Sorento 2016 or 17 is it worth to buy such a a car?

[@dcjohnson2490]

Although I wanted the Hyundai Santa Fe and still kind of do, I opted for a Kia Sorento. I have a 2013 LX AWD 4 cyl. While it is, so far, miles more reliable than the Jeep Liberty I traded in, the 4 cylinder engine's 175 HP leaves a lot to be desired. My initial thoughts were that it was adequate for acceleration but as time goes on driving the car it's kind of a chore when passing and merging onto the highway. I have been thinking about test driving a V6 Sorento. I originally thought this 2016 revamp was hideous and definitely looked too much like a minivan without the sliding doors. Though seeing this off road review has slightly altered my views and may actually grew on me LOL. As usual a very good and well thought out review.

[@Mojogasm]

I too was about to go buy the Santa fe but I after I test drove the Sorento, Highlander and and Pilot...I got the Sorento. It's really nice inside and rides really well (better than the Highlander and the Santa Fe). The price was amazing! Honda and Toyota wanted $50000+ CDN for the trims I was looking at. Kia deal let me have the 2016 Sorento EX V6 for $36500 Taxes in. Its a no brainier at that price.

[@dcjohnson2490]

Mojogasm Yes it is a no brainer, considering $36k Will get you a base Highlander LE AWD LOL.

[@ramoncarter6585]

The Sorento is a good looking CUV rear end somewhat look like the Toyota Highlander it's LED taillights but overall better CUV from Kia.

[@mexicosistemas]

I love your videos, but I think this Off road tests are very light.....

[@infirmux]

One of the better offroad tests if Sorento I've found. Now - 2019-2020 version would be nice and more outside views (if you were asking me ;))

[@vikd4292]

wow amazing offroad for a crossover....

[@ahjwille]

Hey Dave, SInce you did the same drive on the Honda Pilot. Which is better Off-roading? Pilot or Sorento?

[@ghetdo007]

Thanks for the videos, very informative and great quality. One thing about the off-road tests, you should make a comment about the stock tires on the vehicle, and how well they grip (or don't). Also, the road trip video with the Sorento was very well made too. Gives a good impression of the real-word use for many of the more advanced features of the vehicle.

[@yahhello]

#leggoals

[@fantomfoto]

Very nice review! How far down did you air down the tires, if at all?

[@surajrs4]

Dave will a Volvo XC90 review be coming anytime soon?

[@alonzalbrown1883]

Well done 👏

[@swaty_x361]

in T&T there is an option for a 2.4L turbo diesel.

[@KiaTaatje]

2.2 4w diesel turbo is the way to buy

[@997speedy]

do more challenging hills like in you previous videos

[@mrwanted175]

Do a Toyota Highlander off road video

[@PedroFTeixeira]

Get som Xiaomi Yi. Same quality as a GoPro but 1/8 of the price!

[@everymandriver]

+Pedro Teixeira Maybe you'd like to support me and send me one? I provide tons of great content on a regular basis and every bit helps.

[@PedroFTeixeira]

+Everyman Driver I'm not a reseller... Just love a good bargain! :) I'm sure that with a channel the size of yours, if you reach out to gearbest, geekbuying or even amazon, I think they would be open to provide with one for you to test.

[@alejandrom1261]

its 240 hp not 260,thats torque

[@saylsalcan2610]

What was the approx.slope at 09:10

[@MarkM58]

You teased Mudfest with Sorento, but don't see a video of it.

[@everymandriver]

+Mark Mangus I never said I was producing a video on it AT Mudfest... but it was in the competition. I've produced a number of Sorento videos over the years on my channel... do a search here on YOutube to explore my archive.

[@gislithorgislason1948]

This off road is a joke. Do some rough stuff.

[@everymandriver]

I bet you would like that, huh!?

[@canadian7530]

I thought that was an acura

[@adamg85]

wet pond.... lol

[@alejandrom1261]

its 240 hp not 260,thats torque

[@sahan2860]

read the description. its in there.

[@kriit24]

buy a normal cameras for next time

[@everymandriver]

kriit24 are you buying?

[@kriit24]

yes, i buy car and camera. camera i like to buy with wideangle.

[@M7_Gaming_]

i am getting the LX v6 soon😆👌

[@ggolds5]

+M.Mishal Traded my Range Rover for a Sorento. The Sorento blows the DOORS off the Range Rover. From reliability to quality and drive. The Sorento puts the Range Rover to shame. I have the SXL V6 and its terrific. I can't believe how the Sorento has more "European" feel then the crappy unreliable Range Rover.

[@M7_Gaming_]

+ggolds5 I have never been in a RR but the Sorento is a very reliable and excellent car. I used to have the 2013 Sorento, i drove it for over 2 years (75,000 KM) with no problems at all and it aged very well. that is why I got 2016 Sorento which has all what the old model had but with more refinements and better quality.

[@WayywayyH]

Where is this park?

[@everymandriver]

+WayywayyH Spokane, WA

[@MRAZHER22]

Would the none awd model be able to do that?

[@WayywayyH]

MRAZHER22 Could probably do some basic dirt paths but I wouldn't take a 2wd on a rutty one.

[@carlospereira3504]

the kia sorento is the only decent looking kia, i just can't see me getting a car with a kia badge though, just can't do it. honestly i will get a toyota sienna before getting this just because it has a kia badge. maybe kia can change their name and maybe come around in a few years.

[@MOTILAC]

Carlos Pereira get over it. Kia builds VERY nice vehicles now. Huge value, and very reliable. I have a 2012 Sportage, 190,000km and it drives as good as it did off the lot day 1. I live in Canada, where the winter is harsh on top of that! Sorento is next for me.

[@richardgray5207]

Carlos Pereira I've had 3 kias to date. Still have a Cerato. All have been super reliable and very well built. Worked at a VW factory for many years and these by comparison are also very well assembled.

[@BigChungusthe3rd]

Carlos Pereira wow, that's pretty shallow

[@juanestebanhaeckermann7506]

Yeah cause Toyota’s sound like more fun cars
