Is the 2023 Kia Sorento Plug-in a BETTER midsize SUV than a Toyota Highlander?

[@LuisUrbieta]

Apostle Joe, I have a question for you and I need your imput. Which van is better? The Chryslrr Pacifica or Kia Carnival?

[@KitPogi]

Great content as always sir...but this isn't the PHEV is it? Just wondering since the Title says Plug-in. Thanks

[@helloSteve79]

Plug in Hybrid = PHEV

[@WilliamB-sonofkingofciel]

The title has “Plug-in”. At 6:10 in the videos, it shows the “HEV” (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) not PHEV ( Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle). Does the video title need to be corrected?

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

I cant wait for the 2024 Kia Sorento refresh! Already released in Korea. Current one is amazing. But the refresh will blow the competition out of the park for sure! The new lighting headlights on the refresh model reminds me of the Cadillac Escalade or EV9.

[@DannerBanks]

Dang I just looked it up and holy crap the grille looks so much better.

[@Smilecollector120]

I have a 2019 Sorento LX V6 I love it. I was a little upset cause the Telluride came out a few months later. But, I hear your not suppose to get the 1st version of a new car. Give it time to work all the kinks out.

Got 2016 sx with the electronic parking break...1000 for the module and 500 to install...stick with the cable 😂

I owned 4 Sorentos all were excellent

[@johnsnow41884]

I have a blue one. Drives like a charm with 3 kids.

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan]

Now my first Kia Sorento PHEV SUV to buy.

[@Thecoadster7]

Theres also 2 stage heated seats for the captains chairs in the second row.

[@mystictk4149]

Not bad at all and it's nice looking.

[@omarcortes5754]

I really like the Sorento but I would go for the Highlander.

I usually like when they refresh but I kinda like this model better then the 2024 and the 2024 don't have the navy color

[@johnsoroka]

Been waiting over four months for my Sorento lx plus.

[@davidp2888]

Looks nice. The black wheel arches...needs to be body colored.

[@krisgabb3820]

Joe Raitti, what do you recommend between the 2024 Kia Sorento SX Prestige & the 2024 Honda CRV Sport Touring? I love the Kia because it has all the bells & whistles. Wished the Honda had ventilated seats, panoramic moon roof & a 360° Camara. Joe let me know which one is when it comes to durability?

[@jonnytoohotty]

I have the SX Prestige gasoline. Such a great car. Highly recommend!!!

[@RaitisRides]

That is so wonderful

[@bryanwashington9511]

[@mitchellpritsker448]

The flat black is a zonk it doesn't work it needs to be body colored and I do like the updated Kia logo. The piano gloss black not a fan of it. Is Kia going to keep making more Sorento’s and will there be a refresh 2024 Kia Sorento coming out?

[@RaitisRides]

You are not the first to say that!

[@sansinutube]

Is the Sorento Hybrid SX Prestige quieter than the Subaru Ascent Touring, for highway cruising?

[@RaitisRides]

Yes it is

[@TheSpeedDemon64]

Have you reviewed a 2006 Corvette Z06 yet? That’s my favorite car of all time! I’m a fan of Corvettes and Mopars.

2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid HEV SX Prestige!

[@mattmekhaeil]

The regular Highlander doesn’t have a plug in hybrid just a regular hybrid but I think to increase sales they can make a prime version. Many people out there are looking to save on gas

[@MrRaitzi]

But they didn't. Toyota is so clueless with their models although they have the best motor tech.

[@cacho6663]

It's a nice SUV and has respectable cargo space, but I don't think it has the practicality and quality of the Highlander

[@royhuxley8903]

You are not reviewing the PHEV model only the HEV model. You’re heading for this review wrongly titled the PHEV model. Very confusing and misleading.

[@magalivazquez1694]

Look nice and I like the cargo space but I think I will prefer more space between the seats especially in the last rows. I heard that the replacement part are also more expensive . Thanks you and blessing to you in you pretty mascots. 🙏

​@krisgabb3820 kia us a more luxury company, so you get more with the kia 😊

[@DannerBanks]

How the industry prices these cars is nuts. The top of the line telluride is around $51k. I guess you get better fuel economy in this car but dang, only $6k less

[@RaitisRides]

Pricing is out of control

[@SirPipman]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cannonball practice in the Sorento is hilarious!!🗣

[@kinghill500]

[@Autosage06]

The SX prestige Sorento non-hybrid is the way to go before the refresh. Now they look like the carnival which is disappointing.

Quite a nice vehicle. But compared to the Highlander? I'd go Highlander mid trim, if I'm plunkin' my dough down. But this Hyundai/Kia is quite impressive, more than those angular lined side slabs we've been seeing. Nice design, Kia!

The tail lights continue to be awkward. The two vertical lights either need to be identical shaped ( and read that way from multiple angles) or be more different proportionately from each other. Right now they appear sloppy and janky
