I have a 2023 SX. THe dual clutch is very smooth, shifts flawlessly and completely reliable so far in the year that I've had it. Thank you for the great review. M

Same, got the pacific blue 23 Sorento sx last February. It's been a beauty to drive and I commute an hour each way to work in Vancouver 4 days a week. For its size, keep it in eco mode and gas consumption is pretty decent. It's just really fun to punch it in sport mode though so gas prices can calm down anytime 😂

KIA Sorento is the no.1 selling vehicle in South Korea right now.(Sportage placed 2nd).

In Korea, you can get 5, 6 or 7 seat option on all trims for the Sorento. I don't know why they don't offer that for you guys. They certainly should.

I suspect you intended to say South Korea where there are 4 manufacturing plants for the domestic market. KIA also has plants in China, India, Mexico, Pakistan, Slovakia, Uzbekistan and Vietnam, plus the KMMG Plant in West Point, Georgia which has built the Sorento for the North American market since 2009. Different strokes for different folks.

@OhNoMrBill-yg3dy Yes, of course, South Korea. We don't bother to include South. We just say Korea. But you're right. It's a pretty large company with facilities in many places. Interesting fact: due to the powerful labor unions here, we can't import any foreign made Hyundai/ Kia cars for domestic sale. So we miss out on some cool models like the Telluride or i30N.

[@vsboy2577]

It looks beautiful

[@jeffer1101]

It looks good (reminds me of a Grand Cherokee from the front) and seems to be well equipped and a good value. However, I have no idea why they put a twin clutch transmission with the turbo trim though. If you get one of these, buy the extra warranty. I paid $2300 for the extra warranty on my previous Kia and got about $7000 in repairs covered with it (although, it was a hassle to deal with the dealer every time for it). I sold it as I was just sick and tired of dealing with it. It was good during the warranty period, but everything started to go after about 7 years. We know 4 people (including ourselves) who had the 2.0L Turbo engine and 3 of them had engine failures (was about $12k). So if you get this, get rid of it within 5 years or buy the extra warranty if you want to keep it long term.

[@polofunk]

I am hating the car industries, sticking these Turbos in the engine its setting us up for failure, i have a $120,000 2019 Mercedes Benz S Class Turbos failure and engine oil leaks 40,000 miles, purchased it brand new

[@jeffer1101]

@@polofunk The car industry marketing departments are why we have so many small forced induction engines powering our vehicles. We are told about "better fuel economy", but the size of the engine doesn't determine that. Power does. An engine is simply a device that converts fuel into power and in turn, motion. If you are driving in a manner to "request" 200 HP, it doesn't matter if that's a 3.0L V6 or a 1.5T I4, you are going to use as much fuel as necessary to create those 200 HP. You can get a certain amount of power out of a 2.0L turbo I4 engine. If you want to double (roughly) the power, you can simply double the engine size, to a 4.0L V8. Alternatively, you could also just double the amount of fuel and air by using forced induction and achieve the same thing, which is why they do it. However, most people who have more power, will likely use it, which is why you'll struggle to see the supposed gains in fuel economy. When we had the previous gen Sorento with the 2.0T engine, it would typically be around 13L/100kms in the city. Our new Forester (that replaced the Sorento) gets around 10.5L/100 kms in the city, which is about 25% less fuel used, which is great. The engine is larger (2.5L vs 2.0L) but it isn't turbocharged, so it isn't using as much fuel and making more power.

[@Ryan-cf6lc]

In 2016 we considered a Kia Sorrento but decided to go with Toyota Highlander. Although the Toyota Highlander will cost you more upfront, today we are still driving our 2016 Highlander with zero issues and resale value in the mid to high 20s. I think the Toyota is still the better choice if you plan to keep the vehicle long-term.

Buying a Hyundai/KIA (IMO) is like buying a generic brand electronic device at Wal-Mart that was made in China, & paying as much for it as a good Japanese brand. Sadly, Korean manufacturers seem to prefer to mimic Chinese quality/service standards instead of Japanese ones. But, they sparkle nicely when brand new, so what could go wrong?

[@JoseDiaz-qw7mg]

Check out the Car Confections videos about their issues with the Santa Fe’s DCT. It’s their second transmission and it has problems… again! The Sorrento has the exact same transmission.

To the question of the bench seat. The question was if we can get a loaded Sorento with bench seats. That is honestly a genuine issue for most families I know, because if you have to use the 3rd row or have 3 kids, then you lose the cargo space. Now the solution you mentioned about going to Telluride does not also solve the issue, because even that does not have bench seats on the top trim.

[@techpappee]

Those assumptions on reliability are not what one may think. For mass market brands Kia is actually #1 via JD. Toyota is 5th as a brand, Honda ranks 18th overall and 15th mass market brand.

Bad enough that they've removed all the switches and buttons that you can use without taking your eyes off the road but because you have to touch toggle between the too many controls is just STUPID and unnecessary. VW does something equally stupid - 2 buttons for opening 4 windows, so you have to select front or back windows with another button - Are they really saving any money ? or just doing change/stupid for the sake of making it different ?

Hours after the probe began at Toyota Industries Corp.’s plant in Hekinan, Aichi Prefecture, central Japan, Toyota Chair Akio Toyoda vowed to steer the company out of scandal and ensure the Japanese automaker’s group companies stick to “making good cars.” “My job is to steer the way for where the overall group should go,” Toyoda said. An investigation including third-party experts found 174 cases of faked tests affecting dozens of models, including cars sold under the Toyota Motor Corp. nameplate. The review found that cheating went back 30 years. The scandal began after a whistleblower came forward in April last year.Jan 22, 2024
