i have a friend who owns a sorento way back 2012 still running in good condition to this date with 250k+ km mileage, its not about the brand, its about how you maintain it as the owner
I imagine the Sorento competes more with the Toyota Highlander vs the Rav 4. The Kia is a bit bigger than the Rav 4. I would seriously consider buying this over the Toyota. Toyota just isn't what it used to be.
The Kia is still technically in the same class as the RAV4 even though it’s a little bigger. The Highlander is definitely bigger since it’s a midsize 3 row and not a compact 3 row like the Kia. Also, I would trust Toyota’s hybrids way more than Hyundai/Kia hybrid systems because Toyota is more proven. Also the Kia has a turbo which won’t last as long as a non turbo hybrid like the Toyota
Toyota is definitely not what it used to be! The new tundra engines are blowing up! They can only run on their reliability history for so long. The new Toyotas have NOT been reliable. Time to get a modern Kia with the latest tech. Kias are just as reliable as Toyota nowadays. No need to buy an outdated and ugly Toyota.
Toyota owners are as delusional as the economy of Japan. Toyota cars have had zero growth, zero innovation, and exorbitant prices since the 2000s, but the owners still think we are the best 😂

My parents kia is a 2011 and has only needed battery replacement. I have a toyota and don't see a difference between the brands now. We have to think about the fact that toyota and honda are not always the best. Expand you mind to other car brands. Each brand has some good cars.
Fantastic vehicle. A lot of Bang-for-the-Buck. Really "fiesty" to drive! It can put you back in your seat! Great styling, best-of-class Infotainment System. Great on Safety Features. Seamless switching between gas engine and electric. Super quiet inside. You'll be amazed! And of course, it has the best Panoramic Sunroof in the industry!
I love that the EX doesnt have all of the awful gloss black. They reserved that for SX prestige. I guess they figured if you have an extra $8,000 you can afford to hire someone to constantly wipe dust and fingerprints off it.
@XX-166 exactly u would say it has more features, more tech at a lower price. Toyota is falling behind. They are just surviving by their name that it is reliable other than that they are way behind in terms of features and tech. As a toyota owner I am saying this. The new corolla cross is useless. I went to see the non hybrid version it's second row is cramped for 4 people and it's overpriced for its segment.
@@XX-166 if you want to compared equipment and pricing then compare it to a hyundai. Kia is nowhere closed to a Rav4 or any Toyota not the interior not the build definitely not the engine even if a Kia is $5000 lower then the rav4 im sure people that know about car will still take a rav4 over any Kia you might think you have a deal cause is $5000 lesser but you will spend most of the time in a mechanic shop then driving it.
@@AlexAlex-gs1xh alot of people that buy cars don’t care about the tech and you said Toyota falling behind 100% its not to a Kia good lord are you serious remember we are just comparing Toyota to a Kia and for the Corolla crossover why would you look at that if theres a Rav4 thats better and if you want more room grab the highlander or a 4runner is a 4runner thats have no technology but still one of the best selling suv and last you for a very long time
@@chasethecarguynaa I would still pick the kia over rav 4 even if that means I might have to replace my car after 5 yrs because one toyota has no features, outdated touchscreen an d overpriced

I love my 2025 sorento ex hybrid all wheel drive and panoramic sunroof 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

How dose the Sorento handle in the snow?
I love that the EX doesnt have all of the awful gloss black. They reserved that for SX prestige. I guess they figured if you have an extra $8,000 you can afford to hire someone to constantly wipe dust and fingerprints off it.
Just press and hold the icon in between the climate and infotainment icons. Then set it to display infotainment.
I prefer the 6 speed auto over the ECVT on the hybrids, Kia know how to make hybrids engaging and fun to drive…
is this the steel gray color?
I can't imagine it costs that much more to put a good camera in a car.
what other trims are in stock? is this already available in canada?
Great review , What color was this?
6:14 Volcanic Sand
Not bad price. Ppl dont give Kia enough credit. Those cars are good quality where it counts.
I would rather have the 6 speed. I don't trust a dual clutch system. And Ben what is the mpg numbers?!
Rav4? What is rav4 to do with Sorento?
Agreed. Does not match Sorento to RAV4.
In terms of the goals of Korean car manufacturers:
Genesis = Toyota Crown
Kia = Toyota Lexus
Hyundai = Toyota
Can you do a review on a classic muscle car? For example a 1969 Ford Mustang GT Fastback?
At least it's not like a honda pilot were it has 15 or 20 different modes to choose from
Exterior and interior, hell yeah it’s better than a RAV4, which is in dire need of a revamp.
The Highlander is the right contender
I don't brag on any vehicles
This car compared to rav4. Toyota RIP
the real contender of the Sorento is the Highlander, not the rav4
Quick for a little mommy car??? 🙄
yea, that was awkward
Troublesome
Why do people always like to compare a Kia to Toyota. People ITS A KIA 🤦♂️
It’s not the Kia that entered the market years ago so it’s a fair comparison in terms of equipment and pricing.

The sorento is crap, the santa fe is way better
Im shopping both. Mind telling me why you say that
Mechanical, they are the same. So I'm curious myself what makes you say that.
@@brokeboy87 I just think kias are worse
@@brokeboy87exactly.
they are the same picture
RAV4 will have a lot more than a shitty Kia after few years ownership
True, only thing the rav4 needs to ditch is that weak horn
