@@6ec6YRFPTcC it's very useful, especially with how modern car designs are where the only useful window is the front one because the rest are covered by b-pillars and/or c-pillars that make the car feel more like a coffin than anything else. Go for a drive in a '90s car and you have some much vision out of the car that mirrors are hardly needed and then go drive any recent car and you'll find that you almost have to get out of the car before making a turn just to be sure that someone didn't hide an elefant in one of your many blindspots.

Let's be honest, If u look hard enough someone will always find something they don't like about every car. You can't make a car that everyone will love, however it needs to be said as for a 7 seater SUV, Kia have nailed it, the space, the tech, the storage and the hybrid engine all for this price point is amazing and although Kia and Hyundai have put their prices up. They are still showing other brands how ot should be done.

The lane keeping assist on SWMBO’s Hyundai Santa Fe has been excellent over the last 3 years. My Range Rover Sport, bought when I had a long daily motorway commute, is proving too large for our retirement lifestyle. Now we plan to swap these two cars for a medium SUV. The drivers seat on the Santa Fe is uncomfortable for me, especially compared to the top of the range RR Sport very comfy seats. An old spinal fracture makes finding comfortable seats for my tall and bulky frame a challenge. The sudden swerve with the lane keeping running amok rules the Santa Fe out. The Subaru Outback Eyesite system only starts to function at 40 mph, so not suitable for two geriatrics of 76. The Volvo XC60 and XC40 LKA will start functioning at 5 mph, so we will be investigating those two. I expect the Volvo seats to be very comfortable. AWD and air suspension would be a nice bonus. The videos featuring your mum are great- your mum is a natural in front of the camera, and she articulates the special concerns and challenges we seniors face. More videos from the seniors point of view please, as I am sure there is a large demographic seeking knowledge and advice. Thank you for your astute and thorough presentations, plus the laugh and giggle along the journey.

I will never buy another Kia. Period. We contacted the Kia Corporate office to help with an issue we had after our car broke down on the side of the interstate 2 times after being serviced at 2 different Kia dealerships, Langdale Kia in Valdosta and Crown Kia in Saint Petersburg. Kia Corporate gave us the run around, telling us they would send our service request upper management to have it approved. After 3 weeks, they finally told us that no our car wasn’t under warranty! What?! It’s like they didn’t even read what we submitted. Kia doesn’t know how to fix their own vehicles and doesn’t care if they break down multiple times. T

At around 9:50, this might be because fuel theft could be an issue if the cap was that easy to open. As for the other side, nobody has found a way to steal electricity from cars so I guess we're still safe for now

[@02leisam]

It’s actually because it’s a plug in hybrid. The interior button will depressurise the vapour produced in the fuel tank. Because it’s a PHEV, time between fill ups could be a long time and fuel vapour build up may cause a hazard. It’s the same on BMWs PHEVs

[@leehumphrey4362]

[@Bruntygenius]

We’ve had this car since September, we have the exact same version as the video (PHEV). We had the model before this as our previous car, we absolutely love this car. Great for a family of 5 with a dog! As long as we charge the car we are getting over 100mpg! (On a side note, the fuel note locks as people can steal fuel, there is nothing to steal from the plug in bit! Also the remote drive is perfect for some EV charging points that are really tight! Used it loads of times!)

[@johnh3095]

Modern cars have anti syphoning devices built in. The only way to steal it is by draining it through the bottom drain, or when the fuel pump is being removed. It's all about the the release of fuel vapours and is EU mandated!

[@TheOutlawedCritic]

100mpg? Wow that’s brilliant. I have a 2016 Kia sorento (Diesel) and urban driving yields 15-19 mpg on a good day. Motorway gives around 35 mpg. Planning to change it to the hybrid. Still getting that mileage in city? @bruntygenius

[@schmang8198]

Have had a 71 plate Sorento 3 PHEV for 6 months / 21K miles. Positives: Comfortable on long journeys. I am tall and find this more comfortable than my last car, a V90 inscription, by a long way. Drives impeccably in winter: drove in deep snow on A9 for an hour at night and it was a breeze. Good traction with standard tyres in mud. Averaging 40+ mpg without charging and better obviously when charging. Great flat boot floor, huge even with middle row of seats up, which slide and have adjustable slope for backrest. Wheels are easy to keep clean. Air conditioning can be switched to circulate or turned off at the switch of a button: excellent as with many modern cars, by the time you've worked through on screen menus and turned it off, you need to lower the windows to clear fumes.. It has good visibility. Maps work well if kept up to date, even abroad, which is helpful as carplay and Android, whilst usable, have less functionality (zoom or view functions for example) than the KIA navigation. Also the option to have upcoming turns displayed above the steering wheel is useful. Negatives: Infotainment system is severely lacking. More often than not, when starting up, it likes to change the driver profile, which you can't adjust when driving so you have to wait, usually around 30 seconds, to discover which profile is being set, before putting into drive mode. This is tedious. I have yet to use KIA's phone app, which may find a way around the issue. The hesitancy when setting off from stationary at a junction is far too great at times and is also inconsistent whatever gear or drive mode you are in, unless the battery is fully charged and sometimes even then it can delay 1-2 seconds. This is dangerous. Sometimes when changing from Drive to Reverse, or vice versa, it doesn't change, so it is now a habit for me to physically look to see what gear it is in, when parking etc, just to be certain. (A tone is sounded when it doesn't go into the requested gear)- not too annoying but worth a mention. Unlike many other brands, Kia have opted that to lock the car, you have to switch the engine to stop. Even after 6 months, I still find I have left the car with the key and am unable to lock it without reopening the door and reaching around the steering wheel to press the button between 1&3 times until it is happy to lock. This is so tedious I sometimes dont bother.. To summarize, the car drives very well except for hesitancy setting off from standstill. Comfortable. Very practical. Controls easy to use on the move. The infotainment system offers much but could deliver it better and certain design flaws make it unnecessarily hard to live with at times.

The reason for the fuel filler cap being locked when you unlock the car is actually from the new EU regulations which list how much gas is allowed to be released when you open the fuel filler cap... by doing it by a separate button the car manufacturers can reduce these gasses before the driver open the fuel cap and thus be alligned in the regulations, even the new BMW's have afaik

@carwow I think on reviews like these it would be really handy to include service costs for the next 10 years for the vehicle especially as they can be so varied between manufacturers

[@ricad58]

I have had a GT Line (Diesel) for a couple of months now and overall it is a good car to drive. I bought the car for the interior space (all the seats down) and also because of the Australian crap roads, I wanted something that would ride better than a couple of cars I own. To this end, it has been really good. Fuel economy in the country (100 - 110 kph) 6.4 to 7 L/100km. The camera system is great, as is the automatic lane assist on a freeway. I think a couple of misses compared to some of the competition are. The seats, you sit on them and not in them, too wide between the side bolsters and unsupportable when cornering. I find myself bracing a knee on the console and an elbow on the door. On long trips, it becomes quite uncomfortable moving around on the seat. No cooled glovebox or centre console, this is handy to keep a couple of drinks cool on a trip. The headlights are good on low beam but not great on country roads on hi-beam (not enough distance) so if you drive a night on country roads full of potholes (NSW and Vic) or shared with kangaroos and wombats driving lights are really a must. I was seriously considering a Skoda Kodiak before the Kia but due to Skoda / VW poor support and service in Australia, I decided to stick with the Sorento as I know from a previous Kia that I owned the support is really good in Oz.

[@rabit818]

Why do you say USB type A is old fashioned? Most charging cables have them at the end of the cable that goes into the charger. The other end is often USB C.

so would you say Hybrid is better than plugin hybrid? thank you.

Just wondering how many Go-Pros have you lost filming? I bet it's about 10?.

I wonder why the second-row bench isn’t available in US-spec models

[@t1328]

It’s Interesting how so many of the options are different between different countries. My wife drives one of these - the equivalent to the one you test drove. The PHEV SX Prestige in the US. It’s the top spec. It doesn’t have the heads up display unfortunately. It has two captain’s chairs in the 2nd row (as do all US hybrid Sorentos). It does have some features that you lamented this not having. Hyundai/ Kia group has so many options to pull from, that they can easily customize these vehicles differently for each location and I guess they study each market and decide what to do.

You can turn off Lane Assist without going into the centre console. There is a button on the steering wheel. Press and hold for 3 seconds with car switched on.

[@chasbranson6905]

I didn't know that 👍

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Awesome and comedic review Mat!😸

[@neuspeed79]

I have a 2023 x-line sx prestige and I’m very impressed by it. The transmission gear changed cannot be felt. Also, plenty of power @ 271 HP and there are OST available for it for more power.

[@MattLavergne4]

Matt should do a PHEV Range test like the EV tests and try out various PHEVs (both EU only and NA available models like the Sorento here) and see which goes the furthest on its battery pack. For example: Jeep Wrangler 4xE, KIA Sorento, the new Sportage coming out, Tucson PHEV, RAV4 Prime, XC60 Recharge, etc

Good luck ordering one. My Kia dealer told me it's at least a year for a factory order.

[@sameerketkar]

Like always.. great review mate!!!

[@The_journeyy]

Kia are making different types of cars these days they're looking so good 👍

[@2595220]

i love how matt mentions that usb to type c.. is old.. but you still get that with ur phone when u buy it?? so if anything thats more used than type c to c i dont even own one of them myself lol...

[@Johnny24rs]

I don't understand the obsession with USB C port.

[@NoDefectsOut]

Built in Georgia but yet cannot get the diesel engine in America. Just like the Ford Ranger cannot get the Raptor version, diesel or manual transmission. ☹️

[@italianmaestro3045]

Could you please review the new toyota highlander as it is probably a competitor of the kia sorento By the way great video

[@applerider4205]

Toyota very old style

[@Digital-grandad]

So you fancy one? We ordered the 2.2 diesel last Sep but eta come and gone, still "awaiting components" to finish build!

[@ricco123tube]

Actually you can turn the assist off just by pressing and holding a button. But which button is it?😉

[@mayuravirus6134]

Mat are you sure that is a shift knob with that motion?

[@x3merx3mer]

2:44 what "german premium" car has soft plastic at the bottom of the door? Not a single one i've seen and you point that out quite often.

[@Siennaaa920]

Hi mat I have suggestion are you able to do the Toyota Highlander

[@kouroshnaderyofficial]

I had this suv last year here in Canada but had gearbox problems so gave it back and got the 2022 Kia Telluride.
