Great vehicle!! Love our 2015 Sorrento SX. It has great power & fuel economy from it's V6. Impressive overall build quality, nothing feels cheap, excellent tech/options, very comfortable and handles great, excellent in the snow and on long hiway trips. We haven't had a single mechanical issue and routine dealer maintenance has been a very pleasent experience with KIA. My only dislike is that it is not a rugged type off-road vehicle,..my wifes SUV haha,..but it wasn't designed to be rugged. It's a smooth, comfortable powerful every day city-hiway vehicle. Look at a 4runner if you want an offroad SUV.

Thanks Dave. Best review of the Sorento I've seen on KZbin.

[@vitalsignus1]

Few problems to mention-3rd row seating they added took away the additional hidden storage that was formerly behind the 2nd/backseats, which was deep enough to accommodate the windshield wiper fluid jugs. Those jugs are a necessary evil to carry around with you because 1)the dispenser for windshield wiper fluid is SMALL. And 2) WIndshield wiper fluid motor tends to freeze in the wintertime because it is located behind the passenger side front tire (close to the snowy ground). I have heard several complaints about the push-button start on the Hyundais and Kias not working because of a problem in the braking sensor. Its easy to bypass if you know to press the start button twice and then hold it down the 3rd time until it bypasses the brake and just starts but what everyday mom is going to know this? Both Hyundai and Kia have stated they 'cannot replicate the problem' meaning it doesn't give off an error code so they will not pay to fix it. I myself have a 2011 Sorrento and haven't had that problem since I only have regular key start but it does make me nervous if I wanted to purchase a model above my EX.

[@wowowiiwaa1337]

Thanks for that info

[@mikecrabtree8200]

This is my car, White with tow package. If you drive in the manual auto mode, you can get as much as 22mpg in the city. I don't always get that, but I can get it quite often if there is more flattish roads. If there are frequent inclines I can get as much as 20.5 to 21. I am quite pleased with it.

[@vitolibido]

God for bid someone actually reviews the base model and not the top trim

[@ms.briggs2146]

The SX is the top trim

[@cassiocm]

I would wait for the upcoming redesign. I have a 2013 with the older 3.5 engine and I am getting 22 in the city 27 hwy. I think the new one will have more gears which should help with hwy mileage.

[@B13ro]

Great review! I would love to also see some various sizes of car seats in the middle row to see well how they fit.

[@theserulesoflife]

Is the 2016/2017 models worth the price in terms of upgrade to the 2015 model? Debating between a used 2015 SX vs a 2016/2017 EX.

[@noconz0727]

Hey Everyman. I keep coming across your videos. I like what you're doing. Keep up the good work!

[@everymandriver]

Eric Wright Thanks brother. We have over 500 videos on KZbin and upload about 2 new videos each week - Dave

[@chuckers40]

I test drove the Kia Sorento LX and EX models (2 row) Both vehicles drove great and surprisingly drive quiet. Wait until you the 2016 Kia Sorento. It's even better. You can't go wrong with either 4 cylinder or the V6.

[@everymandriver]

Charles allen jr I'm going to Lake Tahoe this week (12.10 - 12.12) to test drive the 2016 Sorento!

[@chuckers40]

Everyman Driver Car Reviews Which version of the 2016 Kia Sorento? (the two row 4 cylinder or the 3 row 6 cylinder)

[@ahjwille]

RAV4? You mean the Highlander?

[@Abbood82]

Thank you very much! It was very helpful!

[@Graudlandre]

Dave, the ford edge is not a competitor of the kia sorento. The ford explorer, with also a 3 row, is its competitor.

[@jessicadomanski8092]

thank you!! very helpful info

[@brendenaerosmithfarr8226]

The biggest downfall of that vehicle is the gas mileage. Mainly with the V6. They are just absolutely terrible on gas

[@akribela]

Really? We have an 2015 SX V6 and the gas milage is amazing! I often forget to even look at the gas gauge as fill ups are so infrequent. Also the transmission is very well matched to the V6 torquey nature in that it keeps low revs so it takes little effort to accelerate.

[@eskimofo9i6]

Great indepth infomative review thank you

[@chuckers40]

Everyman Driver Car Reviews I test drove the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport2.0T and the Kia Sorento LX and EX (4 and 6 cylinder versions two row)Even though Kia and Hyundai are mechanically built the same. I'm leaning more toward the Sorento because of the better steering and interior. Kia is more the "upscale" version of the two. What do you think?

[@nyahbinghi4699]

Hi Dave, you compared this Sorento to RAV 4, how does it compare to the Highlander?

[@fartmaker121]

I have a question, its kinda stupid, but when you turn the car off do the 12v power outlets turn off too? My current car is a 2006 Jeep liberty and the outlets stay on, i really hate that!

[@toddgabweg]

I am waiting for the review of the 2015 Kia Sedona minivan- curious how it will compare to the Odyssey and Sienna… our family needs a minivan.

[@mainlyoctober]

Very nice review my friend. God bless you brother

[@Josemunoz-hi9nh]

What’s the model with that screen display ?

[@JM76Miller]

I want a real suv / truck. I just carried a 14 gun fire safe in my 07 Sorento. Did fine. I like a small to mid size suv that has a frame and can work and has the ability to go off road. That leaves my 07 Sorento and my old 02 s10 Blazer. I don't want to go to a full size pick up.

[@brendasmith6021]

" 3 Oh Blank handles" Haha !!!

[@asrockrpg]

Everyman Driver & *****, please do test drive & review of 2015 Kia K900. Thanx!

[@FloridaPlayzYT]

Can we put a 18 year old and a 15 year old in this car

[@BTC909]

The 2016 is suppose to have a larger 3rd row.

[@darksideofmind91]

In europe we get 7 years. DAMM YEAH! (lol, nobody really cares)

[@mahmoudmedhat7619]

Wondering how much is it in USA, it costs 660k pounds in Egypt!

[@clobbyhops]

the same gas mileage as the the Hyundai santa fe, same horsepower too????

[@Bekim8310]

What? what happened to the 10 year 100k warranty?

[@Kr3wOfGa]

Haha "Oh blank handles."

[@hshort6202]

It might be appropriate to discuss the electronic speedometer needle that is very difficult to see on sunny Days. I have a 2014 that Kia refuses to address the illumination issue or acknowledge the presence of a sensor to dim the instrument panel in bright light. My 2012 Sorento was one of the best cars I have had, the 2014 the worst.....from what I see the 2015 is very similar to the 2014. Kia's service and response has been less than poor...will never buy a Kia again.

[@everymandriver]

H Short Thank you for bringing that up... we need more feedback like that from real people.

[@mathewmjohn7322]

my kia rio has internal brightness adjuster. check if your sorento has it

[@hshort6202]

Mathew M John The brightness adjuster was the first thing I checked and was put on it's highest level. The problem is the red electronic computer generated speedometer needle is fine in the garage, at night and on cloudy days. As soon as I back out of the garage or on sunny days the instrument panel dims and the electronic needle is at times invisible. Kia says "it is operating as designed" ... thus is not covered by any warranty. I understand not all the Kia vehicles have this electronic generated needle but Kia refuses to acknowledge the presence of a sensor.....which is not true based on the behavior of the electronics. I have completely surrounded the instrument panel and left only a tiny hole to view the action when backing out of the garage. As soon as I back out into sunlight the panel dims (the dealership was trying to blame reflections) ...so there must be a sensor somewhere else on the car. A number of people have filed the same complaint with the national safety board as well as complained on various social media. Thanks for your response...I am saving up to get rid of this car as I feel it is unsafe to drive not knowing the speed or spending time with my eyes off the road to locate the speedometer needle. From what I have seen the 2015 continues with the electronic needle in the Sorento. Unfortunately Kia's lack of caring and lack of responsiveness means I will never buy another Kia. It is a shame as I thoroughly enjoyed my 2012 Sorento but after this issue have absolutely no confidence in Kia.

[@mathewmjohn7322]

okay...try test driving the 2016 kia sorento...they might have fixed this flaw....BTW which country are you in?

[@Gena7486]

Test drove car featured here (Kia sorento SX 2015) and no problems reading the speedometer in full sun--no clouds, temp 94 degree in SC and sunny. Did seem like the AC was not very powerful. It had been sitting out in the sun but I drove it about 10 minutes, then put on full blast and it still didn't seem to even make much of a difference. My old 2007 Mitsubishi put out colder air.

[@KageFighter]

He means "Oh-Shit" handles. I imagine not very many kids watch these videos. It's okay to say shit!

[@JM76Miller]

I'll keep my 07

[@robertprechter6804]

excellent review, until it came time to talk about the gps system, and then i was like....wut

[@Gena7486]

Agree on the GPS system; I got all excited and tried it, had to press down hard several times before the virtual keyboard worked. Frustrating!

[@Handiman544]

What if you don't have kids or "small people" friends???? These vehicles aren't built for adult comfort...they're all about style and looks. Small SUVs are a joke. They are nothing but renamed station wagons that you cram yourself into. Back in the 70s, they started out as trucks with caps on the bed and they morphed into the present day SUV. They are designed to drive off-road but most never see any thing worse than a Mall parking lot. They still tip over very easily and are responsible for thousands of roll-over deaths each year. The auto industry loves them because they can charge higher prices for them and they know we will pay it. As for gas mileage, vehicles in Europe are getting 20 miles per gallon more than the ones we buy in the US but the industry doesn't want you to know this either. Cars built in America back in the 20s an 30s were getting 30+ mpg so what's the big deal with 28 mpg today????

[@Handiman544]

5 Adults and 2 midgets...LOL
