Kia Sorento hybrid 2022 review: the best family SUV yet?

[@nostradamus2642]

Great review John. Would you consider the Haval H6 Hybrid (you recently tested) NVH, drive train and hybrid ICE transition implementation be better ? We know the Kia ride and handling is superior.

[@TimothyPoitras]

Best review I've seen of this vehicle. Super informative. Thanks!

[@stuartmarshall7099]

When talking about the interior I don't want to be looking at the presenter for 2mins

[@stephantranquille6681]

KIA trully makes better looking cars compared to Hyunday or Toyota and the Sorento is no different. Interior is well appointed and welcoming. Another catch for Kia. Great review again, keep'em coming!

[@Ali-yj6pl]

Far better proposition that Kluger imo! The interior alone is a seller compared to outdated Toyota infotainment! Yep the service interval is pretty short thou!

[@daviddrummond489]

I have a question. GT Line diesel here for just under 69000 dollars. 2022 model. Yet I see on car sales dealers asking 95000 for the same car. Whats the deal? How can this be legal?

[@markrfoster]

Supply and demand mate.

[@garry527]

$69k plus on road cost. Also, you need to wait over 1 year

[@patricklin6177]

Dealers can sell it over RRP for a brand new car, but they can register it first and they can sell it as used for whatever price they want. That's a trick that dealers play these days.

[@CARacterReviews]

I just love the rear three quarter angle. It does look a bit more like an MPV though. Great Review!

[@Freddyskins00]

Great review ) How does the fuel consumption compare to the diesel on highway driving?

[@TurkVladimir]

Thanks again for your time

[@aksahdev01]

The only thing I dislike is the infotainment, they should had the EV6 infotainment and it would be a banger! Just make it more lux aswell.

[@andym2097]

Great review, very extensive, keep it up! Wondering what the difference between the 2 drive modes Eco vs Smart are if you've noticed?

[@Richard-sl8we]

Hi John, Great review, is there a big difference in this vs the AWD version? There is little difference in fuel consumption between diesel and hybrid; why would someone go for the hybrid?

[@waynehooton6154]

So many transmission problems with the diesel's DCT.

[@mrnicktoyou]

Just stick the all electric drivetrain in this car and it would be a must buy.

[@MilindVJadhav]

Great review mate. You are good.

[@dazza9360]

Yes for the Kluger comparison

[@Richard-sl8we]

When will you have written review and score on your website?

[@philipnorman2861]

Brilliant review. ✔ ✔ ✔

[@audilonk2883]

Love this Car.

[@letsseeif]

The days of the 'affordable car' are over.

[@Undisputed_King]

He's 6'2" if you were wondering.

[@coldude2559]

Not sure where you guys get your prices from...the cheapest one in carsales is $89k 🤔🤔🤔

[@chasingcars]

Before on-road costs which vary dramatically state by state.

[@waynehooton6154]

If you gonto the kia price and build configurator you will see no drive away discounting being offered for the hybrids. So its rrp plus $5 - 6k on roads depending upon which state you are in.

[@saintza]

"After market sunshades are pretty shitty" - you're not wrong!

[@alereon]

Driving from Blu Emu carpark across to Sydney Domestic Airport

[@ichheieferit]

16:03 multiple fingerprints on the infotainment system.

[@upendraphuyal2999]

Does it have curtain airbag till 3rd row??

[@darrenlevy238]

It doesn’t which is a miss

[@johngatsby1473]

My 22 kia Sorento hybrid s AWD has been in the shop since may 25th and kia has yet to come buy the POS back. In the mean time I'm driving a 2020 Sportage which really is a POS. I no longer love my Kia products and this was my second one.

[@reelgreens4127]

“Yes Toyota has got a real fight on its hands” - really? that wasn’t convincing enough evidence!

[@IsaacLoven]

Great review. But can you speak a little slower, so much great info presented but to quick to absorb all of it.

[@chasingcars]

Also note KZbin has playback speed controls available, you can slow us down!

[@ahh1180]

John is that a sausage sizzle there....

[@nathanma1482]

Kluger is still a better option for me because of its resell value and reliability

[@SwoOlley63]

90% of this video vision was of the reviewer talking the remaining 10% was on the subject..

[@nchia]

Nah, needs the lighter coloured leather interior options. C’mon, KIA!!!

[@MatchFixah]

RAV4 4lyfe

[@TimothyPoitras]

That's a 5-seater; not really a fair comparison.

[@lfsantosl]

Having a Santa fe 22 and a Sorento 21 (wifey) - both diesel - it puzzles me that the sorento gets more media attention than the hyundai one. The santa fe is much superior IM. Makes me wonder if those are paid to review? - Go figure!

[@chasingcars]

That would be because Kia has massively staggered the launch of the Sorento (diesel drop, then petrol drop, then PHEV drop, now hybrid drop) not because anyone is being ‘paid’

[@TimothyPoitras]

Santa Fe is a guzzler (10.5 combined, 14.7 urban, 8.1 extra urban) since no HEV option (yet) in Australia. And it has a tiny 3rd row seating area.

[@darasok2440]

I have no any idea with camera man. I prefer to see the car not the presenter! Is this video about presenter or the car? Chissss

[@chasingcars]

This is a review, not a car ad

[@shannonnewman3091]

They are a little overpriced , maybe by 40%? Yes .

[@martinbarker7500]

Really can’t see any manufacturer making a car like this one for $48,000

[@MrSteveMather]

wish u had onlyfans page

[@devd6800]

He also talks too fast...

[@craigelliott2524]

You can’t buy them!

[@milosradulovic9627]

Please, to buy car for $70000 to save around $1500 - $ 2000 of petrol every year....

[@TimothyPoitras]

Which you'd make back in 5 years, since the Sorento HEV is $9k more than the petrol-only in the GT line

[@zoltrix7779]

This car is over priced sure, but come on, if you are in the market for a new 7 seat SUV these days in top trim, it costs $70k regardless of what is powering it. I wouldn't pay it, but thats the reality, nothing to do with fuel savings.
