KIA has really outdone it with the Sportage and Sorento revisions. Far exceeded much of the competition. I know many worry about past issues with this company or even Hyundai, but they’re making a turn around pretty quick.

Yes, because they can't make their cars reliable. If they get rid of that warranty (which wont cover your engine breaking down) their sales plummet. There is no reliable long term research you can show me that states Kia is reliable.@@rylans.5365
I had a sorento as a rental car and it was SO GOOD. I was looking big 3 row, but somewhat changed my mind and think I might go sorento. I think I like the old interior more though. Just don't like the big wraparound screen look. I wish they gave us the dial shifter in every model. The plug-in hybrid is just way too expensive. The exterior reminds me of cadillac, It;s really good looking but I like the 2023.
In the pre-refresh model, you could only get the bench with the lower end trims. The Captain's chairs came standard on the SX Prestige which is really dumb to restrict it to only have Captain's chairs. Hopefully they change that now bc you shouldn't be forced to choose between having to get a lower spec trim with a bench vs the top trim with Captain's chairs
I really like the 2023 and 2024 Sorento’s designs and capabilities, but I’m hesitant to buy one because consumer reports’ reliability rating on the 2023 is low. I’m hoping the 2024 has a better CR reliability rating. 🙏🏽

@@bradleyscarreviews had 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe, not even 20k miles on it and the driveshaft broke, a month later it had an ignition problem, would not start, took dealer 2 months to fix it, those vehicles are JUNK.

Kia is a copy cat including the Sorento that borrows heavily from the Cadillac vertical mount lighting sytem. But strangely, the didn't follow the industry trend of angling up the lower part of the quarter window. But the didn't miss it on their EV9.
I owned a cadillac, thing spent half it's life in the shop. Did get their 3 row as a rental and it was marginally nicer than the sorento rental, but not enough to justify the price difference IMO.
Damn! That’s a gorgeous vehicle! They need to loan their designers to Toyota and help redesign the ugly new Camry which has a front end that only a mother could love. 😂
They already have. Kia and Hyundai were amongst the top three vehicle brands to have the least reported problems per 100 cars sold, according to a Kelly Blue Book study.
Sexy? 🤣 Try knock off wannabe Jeep product. No mention of the 7 slot grille? So obvious. I seriously considered a Sorento about 7 years ago. Until I drove it. Glad I went with the 4R instead.
Haha I'm glad somebody else noticed this! The Kia Carnival looked so boxy and the grill design made it look like a blacked out jeep design. And the first gen Kia Kona looked like a Cherokee. And for the record I do like KiaHyundai when it's below 100k miles.
@@taylorbittner2465😅 you're probably right I have never owned one. They just look nice in car reviews. I've only owned Hondas Toyotas and currently a Lexus.

Looking like a Cadillac front
Where do you think the stole it from?
I like the front end but I wish the D pillar was more vertical like on the santa fe. black out all the pillars too and make the roof floating.
When will these be for sale in the US?
Looks really good!

The only element of the current Sorento that I don't like is the tail lights and that's the one element they decided to keep on the new Sorento. 😕
same
I love the taillights. Don’t like the new front
Can these be specced without the third row and a bench like it's sister car Santa Fe?

I must say that KIA SORENTO looks very solid
What the towing rating on this update 2024 PHEV? Did it get an increase too from its previous 2,000lbs?
Nice shirt Andre :) looking sharp
Thanks so much for sharing
Will they have ambient lighting (not just for the feet) and a heads up display in the us spec model?
It has a HUD. Not sure what you're referring to with ambient lighting
The front lights are similar to the little Cadillac suv.

Do they also say it has one of the best warranties in the industry?
Can’t beat their warranty.
The took away the fog lights. The Korean face-lift had fog lights.
I haven't confirmed it, but I hear the fog lights are integrated into the light cluster.

Kia has really come a long way. I think its going to be a great car from now on
They look good but i dont trust the qc
All LED tail lights, minus the plate lights..... jeez, way to cheap out on refresh
Much better than a Highlander.
I would not even think about it, Highlander all the way!
Does this car still compete with highlander since there's a grand highlander?
@@fakedazzleful it competes with the regular Highlander, while the telluride competes with the Grand Highlander.

Everyone buy one.
Hell yeah, they are so on fire that they are getting stolen so often that some insurance companies won’t insure them…lol!
Lies
Yeah, the older models without push button start are the ones thieves are starting up with USB charge cables.
Stupid!
Yea the older models you idiot...
i have the Stinger with pushbutton start, no problem obtaining insurance coverage.
I like it but I see the Cadillac XT6 front end. Does anyone else?
KIA owns Honda! (now I wait for the Honday fanboys to come crying haha)
@Jonathan-mp32x Was suppose to write Honda not Honday
@Jonathan-mp32x Cry harder 😂
Design wise KIA, Genesis, Hyundai vehicles make Lexus , Toyota, Honda, Acura, look like garbage
gloss black on center console again 🙄
It’s only a 4/5 star rating for crash tests from NHTSA. Specifically front passenger front crash test! No thanks!!!
Amazing how similar it looks to a Cadillac XT4! Coincidence? I think not! But try as you may, it will never be a Cadillac! At best, a wanna be!

@bfish9700 I own an XT4 Sport! Reliable beyond belief! Luxury, performance, utility and sexy good looks! In a league of its own!
The interior is nice but it doesn’t match the exterior. Looks too generic on the outside

They literally copied Cadillacs design.
that is beautiful. kia just have to establish a good reliability record...and they can kill the japanese brands....LOL
No they won’t.
I agree 👍
They already have. Kia and Hyundai were amongst the top three vehicle brands to have the least reported problems per 100 cars sold, according to a Kelly Blue Book study.
Looks like they're stealing from Cadillac 🤣
I know.. this or the new Toyota Crown Signia😂😂😂😂
👏🙂👏🙂👏🙂
Heaven forbid, that’s a hideous car!
The Kia sorento looks ok, the Santa Fe rear end looks god awful.
If Kia wants any semblance of resale value or brand identity, they would stop doing complete overhauls of their design language every 2-3 years
It's not a completely new vehicle. It's a refresh model with new fenders and hood. The interior and infotainment is always updated in a refresh.
Kia isn’t the only one doing that.
@@bradleyscarreviews most auto manufacturers update the car in year 3 and completely redo it after 5 years.

Spend the extra $, buy a Toyota/Honda.
You got that right!
Spend extra only for a reliable machine.😅
Yes I agree... even though KIA has nicer interiors however they have questionable reliability. Hopefully Kia and Hyundai get better in years to come.
@MrHuff05 I disagree build quality of interiors in Korean cars are not on par with Japanese. They look nice from 5 feet.
@@taylorbittner2465😅 you're probably right I have never owned one. They just look nice in car reviews. I've only owned Hondas Toyotas and currently a Lexus.
Blah
I would take a free one and when it breaks down like most Korean crap cars then I will donate it for scrap metal.
Kia is like a girl wearing a push up bra. Looks great, but when you sit inside you see just how cheap the materials really are 💀 stay strong kings.
Yes its still a step ahead of its rival where you can tell that cheapness before you even get that close.
Only women buy and drive SUVs these days. Men know better.
