Thanks for your review Scotty. I would like to clarify some points here. A 2016 Kia Sorrento with 290hp was meant to compete with the Toyota Highlander, but was priced to compete with a base level Toyota RAV-4 which has 195hp. In 2020, a used 2016 Kia Sorrento LX will cost 66% the price of a used 2016 Toyota RAV4 with the same mileage, while giving you 95hp more power, a larger more upscale interior cabin, modern electronic conveniences such as Android and Apple Play which the Toyotas do not offer, as well as more cargo and towing capacity. I would love to see you do a review of the Kia Telluride, the Genesis G70 and the Genesis GV80 in the future. Thanks Scotty, and keep up the good work.

As for gas mileage, wifey's RAV averages about 23 MPG when running my usual mix of highway driving and city. My Sorento in that same regime gets right around 25.

[@jmanko]

I own a 2014 Kia Sorento 4 cylinder. Bought it used at 60k three years ago. Now it has just over 110k. Had no major issues on it. Had that engine recall done that the 2014's were targeted and mine passed inspection and I got a lifetime engine warranty as a bonus. Kia takes care of their cars. I mean who else would give a lifetime engine warranty on their cars? I had a rear speed sensor go out and Kia took care of that also for free. Other than that I had no other issues. I change my oil every 10k-12k miles using Royal Purple. Already changed my spark plugs because they are right in front and easy to get to. This spring I'm going to change all four brake pads in my driveway because it's so easy on these cars. Going to get new tires this spring as well. Hell, I still have the factory battery in it. Starts right up every single time even in below freezing here in Ohio. I put a can of gas cleaner in every 5k miles because GDI engines are notorious for getting dirty cylinders. I even drive in ECO mode full time because if I don't, the engine has too much power and I basically launch off a green light which I hate. So I'm saving a little gas and getting better response from it. I owned a 2010 Kia Soul that I bought new in 2009. One of the best cars I ever owned. No issues what-so-ever. Had the 100k warranty that I didn't even use. Drove it for 140k miles before the wife totaled it on the highway crashing into the center wall on a rainy day. No one was hurt. All airbags went off. My wife and kids walked away from it and the car saved their lives. By the way the Soul had its original battery in it also which I was shocked it lasted so long. She totaled it in 2017 so it went eight years on the factory battery. Insurance inspector gave me $7000 for the car since it was totaled. I was shocked at how much it kept its value. 140k miles and an eight year old car still worth that much. I took the check and bought the Sorento.

the sorento is 7" longer than a Rav4, literally an irrelevant amount. If anything all that does is tell you that the Rav4 has a lot more comfort and cargo room for those 5 people than the sorento has for the 7. Bringing size into this is only proving the Rav4 is better than the sorento.
