What a beautiful car. I love Kia. I have a 2016 Kia Sportage SX and I fell in love with it.

[@gr8vivin]

I just shared almost every recent videos of this channel on facebook...! Come on people lets share these car videos among our friends and help smaller car review channels grow...!! Its very easy to share on fb if ur using tablets. You dont have to log into facebook's main page to share. You can just shareit from the youtube player's options itself. Look for the 'forward arrow' on top of ur player. Just click it and press post. Thats all, job done....!!

Hey Mike great review but Can you review a Kia Sedona

[@mohamedashwear4933]

hello! i just bought an sxl and its currently being shipped here. i was wondering if the long beams on the headlights are LED or normal halogen bulbs

[@waynemartin9248]

Factory invoice? Hold back amount. Fully loaded as seen here, what is dealer price? The wheels are great, chrome alloy is super. Is the Titanium silver still an exterior color? I have a 2013 Sorento 4 cylinder EX. 55K miles on it, great car no problems. The 2017 looks outstanding. I have a dealer in Hiawatha, Iowa. McGrath is the one here. I am interested. Any special financing? 60 months etc? No interest? Thanks

[@richardvarner6636]

I bought my 2017 Sorento SLX V6 last February 15. It is the silver color, with the same interior as your demo. Plus, it has all the features you showed in the video. It is exactly the same car as you showed, except for the exterior color. I LOVE that car, Mike. I had a 2005 Kia Amanti that I traded in, so I'm familiar with Kias. The ONLY feature I found that my car does not have, is the rain-sensing windshield wipers. If it has that feature, I've not found out how to turn it on. My 2010 Mazda3 Hatchback has rain-sensing wipers, so I know how to turn them on, if the feature is present. The wiper handle on my car won't turn the wipers on for rain sensing. I just can't seem to verify that my Sorento has that feature. I would think that a car with all the features mine has, would also have the rain-sensing wipers. If mine had that feature, would it be listed on the window sticker that was on the car when it was new? My windows sticker does not show that feature. Is there any other way to determine that my car has that feature? Other that this one item, I am very please with the car, my wife and I love the ride, and am really glad we bought it over any of the other SUV's. I would recommend the car to anyone considering it. Thanks for the video. Good job on doing the video.

I had a 2012 Kia Sorento SX AWD and I really enjoyed it. This new Sorento has taken luxury at this price point to whole new level.

I just graduated college and this car fits into my budget. I know nothing about cars and just need one that will last a long time and run well. Is this one to keep in mind? Thanks for anyone who can help!

[@bigbadjohnpesek9894]

I never thought of KIA when our chevy equinox took a shit on me. The dealer said to take the KIA for a test drive. I was thinking nah....that is till my wife and i took it out. Ive got to say its one of the best riding/driving vehicles we have tested. No strange squeeks or rattles at all. Just a solid driving vehicle. It came home with us.

NICE review! If you can, take a few minutes to see "Alex on Autos" KZbin reviews...in particular, of the '17 Sorento. He qualifies many of its body, technical & driving details in a seamless format. Your review in conjunction with his review provides an amazingly thorough understanding of what this crossover showcases. It sure opened my opinion of Kia and this diehard Accord lover is going to look into a test drive real soon. Well done.

[@MikesCarInfo]

I agree. Alex does a great job and our videos compliment each other well.

[@scottmitcheltree4182]

Saw one today so I hit you for a review. I was impressed by the small SUV, though I may look at the Hyundai as a Marine vet I don't car for KIA logo. Good job on your vid.

[@boscogong4242]

Will the automatic tailgate open in a garage if the garage door is closed and it detects the keyfob within proximity? Was't sure if it is integrated with the backup sensors to tell it not to open so it doesn't damage the tailgate. My Sorento is another 4 weeks away from delivery.

[@MikesCarInfo]

I don't think it is that advanced :)

[@olegshved3182]

Why not KIA offers ivory\beige interior colors in my own country!? It's fantastic!

[@bridgettepruitt5452]

Oleg Shef. Hi Oleg You are right I own this exact vehicle, in the exact coloring displayed. It is a beautiful interior. The seats are very comfortable. No need to treat the leather due to perforations on seats for heating, and cooling. Treating seats would clog up the perforations. I have not had an issue keeping Ivory leather clean. I just use dishwashing liquid on a wet paper towel, then a paper towel to dry. That's all that is needed. Of course we don't eat in the car. (smile)

[@tomtalker2000]

I have a 2020 Sorento SX AWD V6. And i have to say that i LOVE my SUV. It's far better than my previous 2015 Lincoln MKC 2.0 AWD i had. From the extra room and the throaty and powerful V6 especially when in sport mode. And a VERY underrated Dynamax AWD system. Kia really hit this SUV out of the park. One thing i wish they had kept since they dropped the SXL trim in 2019. Was the ice cube style fog lights and ventilated seats. I know the SX trim had a package that kept the LED headlights, ventilated seats, heated steering wheel. However, the chrome rims were dropped completely due to chipping. Apparently they don't last in bad weather and the chrome finish just starts flaking off after a while. As much as they did look VERY nice. I was torn between this and a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee and while the Cherokee offers a better 4WD system. It falls short on cargo space only having 68 cubic feet with all the seats folded flat. The Sorento bests it having 73 cubic feet. And those few extra cubes make ALL the difference folks. Especially, when your camping or taking a dog with you as i do. Everything is flat in the rear cargo area so Kia designed this very well. The Grand Cherokee rear wheel wells take up a lot of interior cargo space. Making it very narrow in the back. So that was a huge game changer for me as well when comparing the two SUV's. It doesn't surprise me now that it won best SUV in it's class. With only 38k on it i hope to have it for a long while.

[@davisdavis2794]

Very impressive features. I like this suv.

[@lingcherd]

Hi Mike, great review! Thanks for going into all the details! We are looking to get a Sorento soon. I am wondering what's the dripping from underneath the car at the beginning of your video (0:23-0:35).

Great review Mike! Can you please do some base model vehicles?

[@MikesCarInfo]

Hi Dustin it is good to hear from you :) Yes I will try to film more base models. Dealers like to show off all the features of the loaded vehicle (so do I) but I still like to show the basic vehicles as well.

[@TodayWithDustin]

I understand and some are really cool no doubt but I as well like to know some just plain basic features. I'm hoping car makers don't make all their cars push start. That's one big thing for me.

'privacy' glass does not prevent heat infiltration/blockage like that of a tint film..it is only for 'privacy'.

[@MikesCarInfo]

+hawaiiguy1 Kia website "Standard Privacy Glass reduces heat buildup and offers some privacy for the rear seat and cargo areas."

[@hawaiiguy1]

From Wikipedia: Factory tint, commonly referred to as "Privacy Glass" is an electrical process called "deep dipping" that involves dying the inside of automotive glass with a dark pigment. Factory tint is standard on the rear half of most new trucks and SUV's. With a common visual light transmission (VLT) of 15%-26%, factory window tint is installed to provide passengers and personal items privacy from outsiders, hence the name privacy glass. Since most states have a VLT legal limit of around 35% for the front driver windows and windshield, factory tint is only applied to the rear half of vehicles windows to avoid breaking the law.[1] Benefits, With a low VLT, the primary benefit of factory tint is to provide privacy for passengers and personal items. Unlike window film, factory tint, depending on the car manufacturer and year, does not provide the same ultraviolet (UV) protection or heat reduction qualities.

[@MikesCarInfo]

Key info to consider, "Wikipedia" - May not be true or up to date. I provided vehicle specific data to support my claim. - "depending on the car manufacturer and year" - Once again... I provided vehicle specific data to support my claim. - "does not provide the same ultraviolet (UV) protection or heat reduction qualities" - Aftermarket tint can be 0% to 100% effective against heat/light depending on what you buy... so it is comparing an apple to imagination. I am certainly sure that one can buy aftermarket tint that is darker and reduces heat more than factory tint. Still doesn't mean that privacy glass is worthless at reducing heat. It is not hard to experience the heat reduction of privacy glass... just sit in the back with the window closed on a sunny day then open the window and you will feel the sun raising the temperature of your skin.
