I like the Kia Sorento but I do wish it had some features that my old vehicle had. Like keypad to unlock the door, remote start and running boards. I like the hands free system and plenty of space in the back for our golf clubs. Wish it had more features with slow down, speed up with cruise control and maybe a few more automatic features. A front camera would be nice to have to park with.

Why I love my Kia Sorento.
It is very high quality and extremely reliable. It has had no recalls yet. It performs very well on the highway and gets excellent gas mileage. The interior is extremely comfortable on long trips. The exterior design is very attractive and even a little sporty. In short, it is a fantastic car.

Great and smooth running car.
It's a great car. Runs good. Has good performance and comes with everything you need. It's a smooth and nice running vehicle. Love everything about it. The best car I've had in a long time. The only problem is it uses a lot of gas quickly and cost a lot to get things fixed on it. But all together it's a great and wonderful car.

Good ride for good price!
It has everything the luxury cars have, at a fraction of the price. I haven't had any problems from this vehicle and enjoy driving it each day. It's very reliable and dependable. The only thing is that it makes a noise when the wheels cut sharply. Never had it checkout though.

Very cute red 2017 Sorento.
The back seat has no air flow and minimal leg room, and very difficult to get into. Otherwise it is a great vehicle and great on gas for a truck type of car. If you only use the middle row, it has a lot of room for groceries or transporting supplies. It is a good family vehicle, if your family is not more than 4-5 individuals.

Great vehicle. Great company.
The light bulbs blow out fast that is the only bad thing. I love the car. It is comfortable seating. Drives smooth. The trunk space is amazing so big seat folds down if needed for more space. Air conditioner blows very cold just like I like it. It is a great car for me and my family.

Kia Sorento truths and facts!
Great space. Some issues with oil light flickering. Good gas mileage and low maintenance. Driving is very smooth. Car is affordable. Three rows of seats and seat heaters in front. Good visibility. Splash guard underneath was an issue and had to be taken off. Large screen that interacts with phone which enables easy accessibility to music and maps. Good Bluetooth connects and lots of storage. Would be great for kids. Easy size to park. Back up camera on large screen is excellent and helpful to reverse park.

The Kia Sorento is a spacious SUV.
I am having electrical issues currently. Getting those looked at tomorrow. However it has been pretty reliable, very comfortable and very spacious. We have two medium-large dogs and they fit perfectly in the back with the third row down. We do not have any kids yet but with our nephew’s car set in we could probably still fit two more people in the second row.
Megan F
on June 15, 2021
Spacious and great on gas.
It gets great gas mileage for an SUV. It is spacious and having the third row seating is great. I just wish I knew the third row is not suitable for car seats. We haven't had any issues. Very happy with our purchase. We get the size of an SUV without horrible gas mileage or driving around a gigantic vehicle.

I love my Kia and my burgundy leather seats!
No problems with the car. Comfort level is very high, seats are nice and plenty of room in the car. I enjoy the heated seats during the winter and the awesome built-in technology. The car has driven very far distances and taken us on many trips and there has been no wear and tear yet. Car seems to be operating just as well as the first day we bought it.

Kia Sorento for the growing family.
I love my Kia Sorento. The option for a third row is great for my growing family. The car drives well both in town and on the interstate and the gas mileage is amazing. I use the AWD option often during the winter months and snowy days. I chose the option for the moonroof which is great for warmer days. The seat warmers are also an added bonus. Next time I would probably add the seat coolers as well.
Elyssa S
on May 29, 2021
Affordable, accommodating, SUV.
My Kia Sorento is rather luxurious at an affordable price. It is AWD, heated seats, backup camera, and has other cool. Features such as apple play. It also has 3rd row seating for my expanding family! Average 17-20 mpg city driving, and 25-33 mpg highway driving. Would recommend to any family.

2017 Kia Sorento: safety, comfort, and features galore!
My 2017 Kia Sorento has most of the features that you could get without getting the highest trim package. It has automatic adjustable, comfortable heated leather seats, a 3rd row, all safety features/warnings (except for automatic parallel parking), and my favorite feature, the panoramic sunroof. I like that it has automatic all-wheel-drive, but also a button to lock all four wheels. There is a parking brake button and it will automatically disengage when you put the vehicle in drive. There is a button that will also allow you to choose which drive mode you want to be in: eco, regular or sport. Overall I love this car and all the features and safety that it has to offer.

2017 Kia Sorento, loaded and fun to drive.
Great performance, reliability, comfort and loaded with features. Never had any problems with my Kia Sorento it is fun to drive and can carry a large load. 4 door and three rows of seats and red in color with tan leather interior. Am/FM and Sirius radio, GPS.

Our Kia Sorento is perfect for our family of five. Best car we have ever owned.
We bought this car for our family for daily use. We used it many times for family trips and it is very comfortable and roomy. It drives smoothly and is very reliable. We haven't had any mechanical problems yet. Our car is for 7 people, although the back row is very small but perfect for younger kids. We love the size of it, not too big and not too small. It is definitely perfect for our family of 5. There’s nothing I would change in this car.
Michael F

Sunroof and driver alerts.
We love it very functional and reliable. Does not break down. Live the interior and function of options. Love the color also and tires lady long time. Good gas mileage and good turn radius. Love the space in back for cargo and also live the rally nice sun roof.
Caitlin C
on May 17, 2021
Good midsize car, would recommend for family/kids.
Great gas mileage, rides smooth. Plenty of legroom and trunk space. Each side of the car has its own temperature controls and seat warmers. Currently having an issue with the sensor for my headlights, car is less than 3 years old, no other issues have been noticed since buying this car.

Why you must have a 2017 kia sorento.
The 2017 kia sorento is the best car my partner or I have ever owned. It has three rows, and the third is actually very spacious when raised. There’s plenty of space, and air vents throughout the whole vehicle. We are expecting a baby this june and considering getting another one! There is charging ports in the front and back, heated seats in the front, individual adjustments on each side for your own air, and the sound system is amazing. Highly recommend to anybody wanting a spacious, nice vehicle. Especially people with kids or expecting a baby!
Chris T
on May 15, 2021
My vehicle of choice. All wheel drive 7 passenger that is great in the snow.
I really like the 7 passenger capacity. I really like how the seats fold down when I need to place larger items in the back. Love the leather interior option and the series radio. My only complaint is that it is a little slow off the start especially when you have passengers. The vehicle is great in the snow. Love the all wheel drive function and the rear view camera. All in all I am very happy with my vehicle oh you. It is great on gas.
Karah L
on May 13, 2021
Simple car but fits all my families needs for the moment.
It runs great! Room for everyone when seats are up. But no space in the trunk of the car is full. Very simple not many gadgets. I do wish the backup camera was bigger. And the trunk was bigger. I haven't had any issues with the vehicle and easy to maintain.
Sara T
on May 7, 2021
Spacious family car that handles well.
I love the ease of the ride, nice and smooth on the bumps. The steering is smooth, the ac is fast cooling, and the space inside is roomy. The trunk space is perfect and the interior in general has a smooth, sleek appearance. The exterior of the car is nice and sleek as well.
Ricia R
on April 29, 2021
Reliable and good on gas but too small for tall family.
The car runs good and is good on gas but it is much smaller than we thought my husband and kids are all very tall and it can be uncomfortable when take a long drive. I wish that we had purchase something bigger because of those personal reason. But it is a reliable vehicle.
Anthony G
on April 27, 2021
Quality at a price you'll enjoy.
The car is all around a pretty great vehicle. It drives well with a smooth drive even on rougher roads. It handles very well and you feel as though you are always in control no matter what the conditions on the road may be. I would highly recommend this make and model to someone who wants a well made and affordable car.
Anna R
on April 22, 2021
Incredible car for my family and I.
I have had no problems with my Kia. It has been very reliable and safe for my kids and I. It is super comfortable and lots of room and the seat warmers are a plus. I would recommend this car to anyone. It has been a great car for my family. There is also tons of space in the back.
Suzanne O
on April 20, 2021
A few downfalls but overall a great small SUV.
The downsides of the Sorentos are: the lights are do not show enough. I have my fog lights on at all times to give a wider area. The gas mileage could definitely be better. I do not do a lot of freeway driving and average 17 mpg. The seats are weirdly shaped (at least for me) after long drives my back and hips hurt which is very disappointing because I bought the Sorento for road trips.
Valerie J
on April 17, 2021
Not impressed. Car is very loud and has issues.
Its barely used and it continues to have a traction control / abs sensor issue. The car is also very loud yet the cockpit traps no sound. You can hear everything outside of the car as if the windows were down. It rides really rough. Poor suspension but good handling.
Dale H
on April 17, 2021
Love it. Like the option to only use one of the seats in the 3rd row.
I have had my vehicle for about 4 months now and have had no problems with it so far. It is very comfortable and seats 5. We have the 3rd row seat in it which when used does not allow for much cargo space. With the 3rd not in use it can fit just about anything you would need for a trip.
Meghann H
on April 12, 2021
Wonderful family of four vehicle.
The Kia Sorento is the perfect family vehicle. The hatch is perfect for hauling all the baby supplies. From strollers, chairs for soccer, to the occasional on the go diaper change. The only drawback I can imagine with this car is the front seat would not fit a very tall adult when a rear facing car seat is in use.
Linda C
on April 10, 2021
No regrets buying this SUV.
This SUV is amazing as far as comfort goes. Held up great when we were rear ended pretty hard. We love the way it handles and drives. Great get up and go acceleration. We wish it had another door to get in third row seats easier. That would be my only complaint but it is not really a big deal either.
John G
on April 8, 2021
Best car at a good price and great gas mileage.
Very comfortable ride very roomy great gas mileage. The Kia dealership stands behind their vehicle. I did have a problem with the turbo boost draining the battery they repaired it under warranty and replaced the battery at no charge. This is my second Kia Sorento and I do recommend it to all.
Kiel H
on April 7, 2021
My first minivan for the family.
The main benefit is the amount of seating and space within the vehicle. We have to be able to fit four car seats in there. I love that the back seats have their own heat system and volume. I do not like leather so the seats and nice to sit in as well.
Tiffany W
on April 4, 2021
The apple carplay and Bluetooth setup are flawless.
I have had my car for a year now and have had no issues! The only thing I’d like is for the gas mileage to be a little better and more fuel efficient. Other than that, the Kia Sorento is a great, safe, and reliable family vehicle that I hope to have for many years.
Crystal M

2017 Kia Sorento review great on gas but a tight squeeze for a family of 5.
The gas mileage on my Kia Sorento is one of the perks. With having 3 children and all being in extra activities, the space and comfort is not what we thought it would be. 3rd row seating is barely used and not easily accessible. When used there is no trunk space for anything more than 5 bags of groceries. The features on my Kia seem to not be as functional as told they would be when buying the car. Back door button does not work on the keypad, there is no automatic close. I wish this car had more room and captain's seats.
Mark M
on April 3, 2021
It's great to drive and look good.
Door handle keeps breaking which is the only problem. I have also experienced that the car freezes up easily so you have to sit in the car with the heat on for the car to cool down so you can actually drive the car. The car is easy to scratch there isn't that much protection on the car which could make the car look ugly.
Karen C
on April 3, 2021
That it gets really good gas mileage.
Like the size and the comfortability... Dislike how it drives... The four cylinder engine is not powerful enough to make the SUV have a smooth drive. It is a bit jerky at times..
Christi L
on April 2, 2021
I love the space I have as a driver, and the ability to raise and lower my seat.
I have absolutely no problems with my Sorento, so that is why we leased and bought the current one that we have. We have the extra two seats in the back for extra passengers. The area is not for tall folks though. I am extremely happy with the features that my car has, especially with the large display for rear view camera. That safety feature was extremely important to have.
Kathleen J
on April 2, 2021
Kia Sorento - overall a fantastic mid size SUV.
The undercarriage is just held on with screws. The problem is in order to do an oil change they have to take the screws holding the undercarriage out. If they are not replaced very tightly the entire undercarriage will fall off. The design of the turn signal is flawed in that sometimes when you put the right turn blinker on the brights turn on. Too sensitive? Not sure.

2017 Kia Sorento: great vehicle with tons of space!
I just bought my 2017 Kia Sorento a few weeks ago, I am 18 years old so it is my first vehicle. So far I love it and I have had no issues with it once so ever! It had about 57,000 miles on it when I bought it, as it was a used vehicle, but it was in perfect condition. I am a hockey goalie and my bag is huge but the trunk of the Sorento is massive and I have plenty of room for other things when my bag is in my car. That was one of my priorities when buying a car and the Sorento definitely succeeds in providing enough space. I also love the touch screen navigation set up, it is super convenient and easy to use. Not to mention it also comes with carplay which I love, it is definitely one of my favorite features. There are several outlets throughout the vehicle which is super convenient, especially when I have multiple people in the car. The gas mileage is also great and it is not a ton of money to fill up for a full tank, especially since the Sorento is AWD.
Valerie R

Kia: an amazing car I would love to test drive the latest Kia.
I enjoy it because of the smooth riding I get. It really good for big families and you can lower the back seats to move large items and have more room for groceries. It handles very well I am the rain not so much the snow. It's okay in gas but overall I love my car and currently working towards a newer model.
Virginia C

The Kia Sorento is a great family SUV with an optional third row.
This is a great vehicle. Came with a lot of standard features. It's perfect for a small family. Only downside is for really tall people. My husband is 6'4'. When both car seats are installed in the second row and the front seat is pushed back all the way it is tight. Other than that we love this car.
Alisha D
on March 22, 2021
Very good customer service/warranty.
Engine blew at 20k miles however Kia had a great warranty to replace at no cost and even paid for my lease for the months it took to fix the car. It seemed bad but it was fixed by great customer service so in the end all is well. The warranty comes with the car for 100k miles so that is pretty unbeatable for any other company.
Sarah C
on March 22, 2021
A Kia Sorento is your next dream car!
I love my three row Kia Sorento! It has leather seats, heated front seats, tinted windows and pull up shades for the windows in the backseat. It also has climate control for the third row which my kids love. When the third row is not in use it has a spacious trunk. It drives smooth and is very safe.
Nicole J
on March 21, 2021
Really great family car!
Love this car! Drives smooth, great gas mileage, very reliable! Plenty of space. Interior is good quality but is thin and can rip. I have young toddlers who can be rough so that may not be everyone’s experience. Two car seats fit great! Overall great family car!
David G
on March 19, 2021
Great mechanics, runs well, and stops just as it should. Good mileage too. Looks great!
Good mileage. I like its appearance. It handles well in adverse conditions. It has a nice ride and feels good on the highway, firm but comfortable. I don't like the backup camera if there's any sun shining on it you can't see it and it's too small. I prefer a backup alarm or beeper. Overall it seems to be a good purchase.
Dave M
on March 19, 2021
Practical vehicle that is fun to drive.
So far I have loved the vehicle. Especially the computer screen in the center. It is both helpful, Versatile, but also is not distracting from driving which is very important. One feature that I wish it would have is being able to tell how many miles I should be able to drive on the remaining amount of gasoline.
Anthony M
on March 18, 2021
It is very comfortable and roomy.
The only thing I dislike is the location of the instrument controls and the style of the switches on the steering wheel. Other than that it is comfortable, quiet and quite peppy for a four cylinder. I also like the large screen panel on the dash.
Ariel R
on March 16, 2021
Reliable, Kid Friendly Family Car
I really love my car it fits my 9 year old and 7 year old and a teenager comfortably in the back seat. My trunk is large and I utilize it all the time. I haven't had any issues with it, only one recall in the time I have had it. I have taken plenty of long road trips and never no issues. I am expecting so we will see how three kids will fit back there in the next month. We actually looked at the new Sorento that had the 3rd row but I wasn't a fan because you lose all your trunk space and only gain two seats.

2017 Kia Sorento review by tom p.
No problems with my 2017 Kia Sorento. Needed brakes and tires at 80000 miles. Had to replace the battery at 84000 miles. The car gets about 24 miles per gallon of gas, mostly suburban or highway miles. It has very good power which helps with passing on the highway. The interior is leather and seats are comfortable. I would personally buy this vehicle again.
Shannan B
on March 13, 2021
Great SUV for day to day use. It is safe, affordable and has a sleek design.
I haven't had any mechanical problems in the 3 years that I have had my car. I keep up with oil changes and regular maintenance. The seats could be cozier for long car rides but the car is comfortable for day to day commuting. The car has a standard, eco and sport mode. I frequently drive on eco mode which gives a slight delay when trying to speed up quickly. Switching to sport mode while jumping on the freeway is very helpful. The car comes with apple carplay which is very user friendly. The third row is great for when you need to add a few extra people for a short car ride. It would not be comfortable for an adult or for long road trips. The windows have built in sunscreens which is probably one of my favorite features since I have a child. One thing I wish the car accommodated is large, reusable water bottles. You will not be able to fit a wide hydro flask in the console. The car has ample USB ports and a climate control for the third row. Visibility could be better if they used larger windows but I imagine the smaller windows are better for overall safety which Kia is known for.

The best car on the road today
My Kia Sorento is amazing! It drives very smoothly, and is extremely reliable. It has so many features that I love including touch screen, heated seats, a rear view backup camera and it is extremely roomy. There have been no problems that I have experienced while owning this vehicle.

Fun to drive in every circumstance.
The car is fun to drive, a little slow to start, but a joy to ride in every way. The cargo capacity is great with rear seats unfolding to make extra space if needed. Warranty coverage is very good. The interior is comfortable and stylish. The fuel economy is decent.

Complete and absolutely comfortable.
It is completely reliable. So far no issues and it is very comfortable even on long road trips. I have had a terrible back injury and this is the first car that I can tolerate being in for longer than an hour. Just recently took a road trip that was a 7 hour drive and only had to stop for gas.

HEATED SEATS a blessing in the winter!
I absolutely love my sorento! Its spacious and easy to drive. The AWD feature helps in the winter especially and is great on gas, especially running around with the kids back and forth to sports and more. Haven't had any problems with the car, but I do keep up on all the regular maintenance. Would definitely recommend buying!
Suzanbe R
on March 4, 2021
Kia Sorento leases are great!
I had no problems with the vehicle. I had purchased key replacement and that was a bonus as key was lost x1. I also purchased oil change package and that was very smooth. Oil changes were quick and efficient and I saved money. The package even covered required work.
Deja H
on February 25, 2021
Affordable with amazing gas mileage.
We needed a larger family vehicle that was spacious and affordable as well as good on gas. The Sorento has been all of that for us! My only complaint would be that it does not have electric seats, but the lack thereof is made up in other features that we've never had in a vehicle before.
Kate N
on February 24, 2021
The Kia Sorento is a great car for families.
The Kia Sorento is a very comfortable 7-8 passenger vehicle. We love the heated leather seats, sound system and cargo space. The vehicle is great for long car rides and cross country trips with the family. We drove 16 hours to Florida with our nephews and had plenty of space. The SUV gets decent gas mileage as well. I find the touch screen display easy to use.
Anthony A
on February 24, 2021
Great value, smart features, under powered.
My kia only has 35,000 miles. It is in great shape but does need a new hub assembly which is a little early for that kind of repair. The interior is nice and well thought out. There’s 12v and charging ports everywhere. The 4 cyclades is really underpowered. If I could do it again, I'd definitely get the 6 cylinder.
Denise W
on February 24, 2021
The perfect vehicle for a road trip to the beach or a carpool trip to school.
I love my Sorento. It is my favorite vehicle that I have ever owned. It drives very smooth. Some of my favorite features include the different drive modes, the easy to clean interior, the Bluetooth feature and the third row seating. I love that the back row folds down if I need storage room for road trips but is easy to set up if my kids have their friends over. There is a storage compartment in the very back that is great for putting my groceries in to keep them from rolling all of the back. My car is a silver color so it looks clean even when it really is not. The only thing I would change is the legroom in the third row and how difficult it is to get to the third row. I wish the second row seats flipped up. That being said, the leg room on the middle section is the perfect amount for my growing son. My kids love that you can learn the second row seats back making for more relaxing road trips for them.
Sonia B
on February 22, 2021
Best vehicle purchases, it is an amazing cross SUV.
The los sore to comes fully equipped but didn’t cost $80k it has backup cameras, 360 view, panoramic moonroof, power everything, heated seats, cooling seats, heated steering wheel, it drives real good, it has that feature with the cruise control that senses vehicles and slows and accelerates by itself.
Ana M
on February 21, 2021
It has been a good vehicle for our large family within our budget.
Car is comfortable the middle row I wish was a little more spacious since it is a little hard to fit a convertible car seat in the middle and my husband is 6’1 and if he sits in front of the car seat he cannot go all the way back, but overall I love my car! Haven't had any real problems besides a switch on the drivers that was still covered under warranty.
Cara S
on February 20, 2021
Towing capacity is great!
I bought my car brand new and it has been amazing for almost 4 years. The ride is quiet. I love the technical features in the car like android auto. Third row seating is an added bonus! It can tow our camper which was one of the main reasons we bought it.
Adam L
on February 19, 2021
Extremely reliable vehicle.
Extremely reliable and low maintenance. Drives smoothly for an SUV. Kia's warranty program is very reassuring. Very easy to add extra cargo space with all the back seats going down with little effort. Kia offers all of the bells and whistles with electronics including SiriusXM.
Nick R
on February 18, 2021
Room, cozy, well made SUV that meets all my driving needs with my family.
The car does not have a lot of pickup, but decent speed. However it is very well made, nothing seems cheap, from the dash to the seats to the engine. Drives smooth, it is comfortable and roomie. Perfect for me and the kids. The speakers are not the greasiest, it might be the one thing I would upgrade, but everything else is pretty good, definitely would buy another.

Kia Sorento- comfort is lacking.
The Kia Sorento is fairly decent vehicle. The performance has been nothing but great so far. The only real issue that I have with it is the comfort level. It is quite uncomfortable in my opinion. He back seat is feels very cramped when it is just one person in the back, and it is unbearable when every seat is taken. You are almost sitting directly on top of one another.
Nishayla C

The Sorento is good for small family.
The Kia Sorento is a good car for a small family. I love that it has a third row. The only thing is I wish it had more trunk space. I usually keep my third row down so that I can load more. Currently my paint is peeling on the side and not sure why. Overall I enjoy my cars comfort and the way it rides.
Valerie Z
on February 12, 2021
Great mileage, love my car.
It runs smoothly and gets great gas mileage. I have not had any problems since I bought it. Very reliable. Easy to maintain. Rear camera is a huge asset. I have traveled cross country 3 times. With this car and have not had. Any issues. I would definitely recommend this car to all my friends. I believe in this brand.

Kia sorento great all around suv.
Kia sorento is the best value for the money. The one I have now is our third one. Great on gas. Comfortable. Easy to drive. Great in the snow. I have never been stuck and I live in new england. Love the separate temperature controls as my wife is always hot and I am always cold. Heated seats are the best especially on the back.Plenty of room with the seats down for all of our needs. I am definitely going to buy another one. Ours is a 4 cylinder and I think the next one we get is going to have the six cylinder engine. I think the 4 cylinder is a little underpowered when getting on the highway. Color selection is very good. We have the maroon one. Cloth seats are fine.

High maintenance cost
The Kia dealerships all force you into their “recommended “ maintenance schedule which is, essential, the severe weather schedule. They don’t offer packages to conform with the normal maintenance schedule. Either kia cars are high maintenance or the dealerships have been allowed to do their own thing.

Great car at a reasonable cost.
Car is very reliable. We have never had to take it to the garage for anything other than tune ups. It has a third row, and it has a lot of power with six cylinders. It looks as nice as a lot of cars that are much more expensive. One downside is that it does not get great gas mileage.

Kia is a very good value.
Solid car, great mileage for a v6, comfortable seating, plenty of headroom, 3rd seat not easily accessible but doable for kids.

Great car to warm your rump in
It is a very good SUV, but it is so big, it is hard for a 5'1' women to get into. Great for halting lumber and shopping for groceries. Very comfortable and it has heated seats. A must for the cold winters in Wisconsin. Just hit the button and your rump will be warm before the heater gets hot.

2017 Kia Sorento, great gas mileage, convenient for families.
For the most part I love my car, the third row makes a huge difference for my family. I just wish all the windows were automatic, as well as at least the driver's seat, and that it came with a “tray” since the trunk is carpeted, it makes for a harder clean up than my previous car. Gas mileage is great for an SUV!

Reliable, affordable family car. You will not be disappointed.
Very reliable. Great on gas. Does not cost much to keep up with maintenance. A lot of room. I do not have a third row seat. The interior and exterior color is nice. I wish the screen for the radio and backup camera was a little bigger. There is max a/c, Bluetooth, USB hook ups. I wish the car was fully loaded.

Third Row Seating and Cargo Space
Love the third row seating and how easily the seats can be put down or pulled up. Plenty of cargo room when the third row is down.

I love everything about my Kia Sorento.
I love my Kia. There is plenty of room up front that you don't bump elbows. Cup holders hold all size cups. The back holds a ton of things and if you put the seats down, wow you can put just about anything back there. It rides great. When it's time to replace this I will get another one.

Low maintenance and comfort.
I purchased this car new from a dealer with a trade in and got a great value. It is a comfortable car and easy to drive. I have not had any major problems with the car. The dealer provides good service and deals in service. I have had another SUV and this one is by far the best value and comfortable to drive. I often haul wood, projects and heavy items and this car is a workhorse. The flip seat is so handy. For someone who wants to own a low maintenance SUV I highly recommend this Kia.

Great warranty and comfy!
It is perfect. I just recently got it and so far so good! It's very roomy and comfortable. I have a backup camera, smooth ride, and tons of space. I wanted an SUV and this one is easily the most for your money. I test drove 5 before this one. 5 stars from me. Plus Kia has an amazing warranty.

My fun to drive Kia Sorento.
It has a nice and quiet ride, not much road noise. My car has many premium features, collision avoidance, smart cruise control, and lane departure alert. The turning radius is really tight. One problem is the wipers could have a faster speed. My model has third row seats which can be used, but when they are used you have only a small space for cargo. Good for around town but not for long distance travel.

Kia Sorento is great to drive. It gets good gas mileage both around town and on the highway. Feel very safe in the vehicle.

Reliable family vehicle, thumbs up.
Very reliable SUV. Easy to put the seats down and load up big stuff. Good gas mileage. Easy car seat installation. All the essentials, nothing unnecessary. Parts and service are inexpensive when needed, but we have not yet needed in the 3 years of penetration.

2017 Kia Sorento- 3rd row setting.
There has been a recall on the motor, it gets good gas mileage, and drives well. Unfortunately there is not much room in the back seat (3rd row) when third row is up there is limited storage. There is no spare tire which is odd. I have not had any other issues with this car, is the second Sorento I have owned.

The gas mileage on the vehicle is simply amazing for its size. It has tons of space and drives really smoothly. I absolutely love it.
Amazing Gas Mileage! We are getting on average 31 miles per gallon.

It's a great family car that has a lot of hidden benefits.
It's a great family car with three usable rows and compact enough that maneuvering around parking lots is easy. It would be better if there was more storage in the trunk space. Technology is advanced.

Most amazing vehicle I have had more than reliable.
It is roomy and more than comfortable. Has all the bells and whistles for safety. Easy open automatic back end. The factory speakers are more than awesome terrific to be honest. Love everything about it. Electric windows door locks fold in side mirrors tinted windows. Perfect vehicle for everyone who likes having space. All wheel drive also.

Beautiful seats and dashboard. Has amazing floor mats.
I love my Kia. It drives wonderful. It is the most comfortable car I have ever ridden in...The sound system is amazing. I love the color of my Kia. The back lifts up so easily and there is plenty of room for everything I need to travel with. Even my dog loves to ride in the back and he can see out very well.

The most important detail to me is the heated seats. Really feels good.
The Kia sorento has plenty of cargo room. The fold down seats supply much more cargo space. The heated seats are the best thing in the winter time. We have not had any problems with the car at all. The only thing we had to do was change the oil every 5000 miles.

Kia continues to improve on the already near perfect Sorento.
I enjoy driving the Sorento. It is a smooth and comfortable ride. All features are at your fingertips so you can concentrate on the road. My only negative point is that at times, the steering and/or tires feel like they are sticking. When this happens, it feels like the vehicle will not go straight and you are constantly battling to stay in your lane.

It gets pretty good gas mileage.
I love how smooth of a drive it is. Love the sporty feel. Comfy. No complaints. I would rather have leather seats due to having kids who make a mess.

It is a very nice safe family car. The ride is smooth and it's worth the money spent.
I love that it has a 3rd row for extra passengers. I can push a button for sport mode or economy to save gas. I also like the Bluetooth hands free radio.
