2019 Kia Sorento SX-L - Redline: Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- With only 2 SUV's in the lineup, Kia certainly has a much smaller choice in a segment that is booming with American's consumers. Ever since it's inception in 2002, the Sorento has always been the top seller with over 100,000 units sold annually. For 2019, the 3rd generation gets a standard 3-row seat, updated front and rear fascias, and a new 8-speed transmission on V6 trims. It should satisfy buyers looking for versatility without the added bulk of some larger rivals.

I dont care what people say. Kia makes quality vehicles now, They arent what they used to be..They look good, theyre reliable, and they almost always have a few extra features over the class competition.
true... lot of people are just scared to accept reality lol.
kia and hyundai will be on par with Germans and Japanese soon.
Some cars are actually better now considering what you get for the money
more competition is always good for consumers lol
doesnt matter u buy them or not its ur choice based on your taste
what matters is Hyundai and Kia are actually competing head to head now
Exactly. Bought a fully loaded Kia Sedona and it has features even the fully loaded Honda and Toyota minivans don’t have for much less than them
Kia is a solid competitor to american and japanese auto brands alike. People just have it etched in their minds that they still make the vehicles they did in the 2000's. Which is far from the truth. They rank top 5 in reliability 2 years in a row im pretty sure.
Yulhun Sung please don’t ever compare a Kia to any German car. More than likely you have never owned a Porsche bmw or Mercedes. Kia is just not the same
My niece just got the Sorento with the six cylinder, I am pleasantly surprised what a nice vehicle it is, well done 👌🏼
Way to still be awesome in your review dealing with the palsy, Soyfan. Good job! The amount of knowledge you know about each vehicle is great, always enjoy.
With BP or not with BP, you’re the best auto reviewer on UA-cam. Thanks for pushing through for all of us and get better soon.
I am a huge fan of Kia, my 3rd car was a Kia soul and I remember when they showed it to me I laughed but they said either it's that or a PT cruiser *I was 19 buying my own car with no co-signer* so I'm like yeah I'll take the Kia...now I'll vouch for the brand. Amazing car, rides smooth and handles so well in the snow!
Kristopher Workman PT cruiser is like a dead body cruise 😂😂😂😂
Great to see you still filming even when you're sick! Awesome job. This car I think is great all around. It has a great power train combination and just a great build quality over all.
Much respect for toughing out with the Bell's palsy while still pumping out great reviews!
I hope that your condition improves soon,sir! Thank you for continuing to provide us with great reviews through your ailment!
Another GREAT review. Thanks for the consistency Sofyan! Hope to see you all better soon!
Love your thoughtful rounded vehicle analysis. Hope you recovered completely from your bells palsy completely!
You didn't mention the very tight turning radius of the Sorento. Definitely a pleasure to park this vehicle. BTW.....you do the best reviews on youtube. Keep up the great work!
The scenery is so beautiful! Sorry for not commenting about the car. Hope you feel better! You have my support!
Im sorry to hear that youre one of my fav youtubers i always have my notification on because you make great reviews
I value your work and my admiration of you increased as you noted you were suffering from Bell's yet you keep going. I suspect you're much more aware of it than your audience but thanks for acknowledging. Keep powering through. I have a similar affliction in Myasthenia Gravis and sometimes I want to just stop and hide. Your work ethic is an inspiration.
Hey Sofyan! I want to say that you look like you are recovering well. Glad that you are back to work already....just stay busy and do what you need to do to help with the recovery. As an avid fan, I enjoy the videos but wouldn't mind if you took a break. You are an awesome guy...so it's a blessing that you continued to shine through it all!! Get well soon buddy!
My sister had a Kia Sephia as her first car in the 90s... Kia has really come a long way since then!
Great video Sofyan. Thanks for keeping the work up even with your temporary palsy.
Great looking CUV... KIA and Hyundai are killing it in the design department.
Live Jones meh
True but a crossover though.
CP100 - Toyota’s don’t look bad at all. It’s the Mazda’s that are butt ass ugly!
DeadofWinter321 Like your face.
Eateth my shiteth my good friend.
Agree. More nicely than SUV from BMW or Mercedes
I love my man Sofyan's reviews and it really got me emotional seeing him afflicted with this Bells Palsy. I'm glad you have fully recovered and please do take care of yourself brother.
Great to see you back!! Keep up the great work.
Great review, never apologize for the palsy! Can't help that and your review stands on its own without concern for your palsy. Thanks! Based on your review and Alex on Auto's review and our own test drive, we just bought one.
Yo bro im sad to learn of your medical condition, but I’m glad to see you staying positive and still making great videos. I’m a huge fan and always enjoy the channel.
Great review as always. Keep them coming!!
I was waiting for this review. Good work! and feel better soon!
Great job man! Keeping up fantastic work in current physical condition. Rest up, get well 🤗
Actually never considered these until seeing this video. Although a bit slow overall package is a 10+.
As always...awesome review; you are "top notch" at what you do. Wishing you a full recovery!
Get well soon. I know how it feels to get Bells. Great job on every video as usual!
Great job even with the temporary Bells. I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you're still doing your thing. Keep the awesome car reviews coming.
Thanks for another awesome vid, Sofyan. Hope you feel better soon!!!
Been waiting for a review on it. Thanks Sofyan!
Your videos are great brother.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
I went with the CX-9. The interior is a much more premium feel. Sorento is a nice vehicle and feels more like an SUV. The Mazda feels like a sedan that handles well and rides very well.
You are a class act. I cant believe you havent shown up on my searches before. (Strange youtube). Thank you! You must have been into cars since you were a baby.
Great review as always. Sorry to hear about the Bell's Palsy speedy recovery!
Go for it man! You're doing great! I hope you recover soon.
Thank you for your dedication to delivering your best! Hope you get better! 🙏
You're a trooper Sofyan. Keep pushing...great review as always.
Thanks for keeping the videos coming! Get well soon!
Get well soon, brother. Love your reviews.
Great video as always. I did watch your other reviews and they are all very useful. Thanks you and keep up the good work.
Great video as always Sofyan! Hope you're better soon bro! This body style Sorento has been around since the end of 2014, not 2016. So, it was certainly due for a refresh. BTW, the diesel for this is AWESOME!
By far my favorite car reviewer. Keep it up Sofyan hope you get better soon.
Great review, Sofyan!! Keep pushing through!!
Nice review. Due to it, I have bought KIA Sorento one month ago. Perfect car.
Thanks for the car reviews man, I like your style, Informative and professional!
Much love on the pushing through Bells. I suffered about a month from it. Good review
What's causes that?
Thank you! its been about 3 weeks now, I'm hoping to be recovered by the end of this month :)

Man! Sorry to see you're going through this. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Kool Acclaimed™ While it's is a herpes virus. There are many types of herpes viruses. Including chicken pox and shingles. It attaks the lower cranial nerve. That nerve swells in the cranial canal and gets pinched in the canal and boom. BP. They prescribe the same meds for herpes out right. Vitamin B12 and plenty of rest also helps
Agreed, been there done that myself with the bells. To a speedy recovery and keep up the good reviews!
Keep up the good work, and good luck with the BP recovery!
Glad to hear that you have made a full recovery Sofyan. While your dedication to work is admirable, it does hurt us as fans to see you not at your 100%. Best wishes and stay healthy!
I really appreciate your reviews... All of them! You are so thorough and fair in your analysis. I share your videos with anyone shopping around for a vehicle =D Keep up the good work 🤗
Great video and best wishes for a speedy recovery!
My winter vehicle. We have a 19 Sorento and 18 Sportage. Good quality and no issues.
I really dig the chrome rims.. I hope they look as good in person as they do in the video! It doesn't work too well nowadays with most models but it certainly fits here. Good job Sofyan.
Get well soon bro. Felt bad to hear about paralysis. Take care. You rock as always.
Great review Sofyan, I was really curious about this vehicle. Hope you get well soon!
I got 2014 Sorento SX V6 and i really love it. I was a toyota fan but kia is on its way of competing really well in SUVs'
Welcome to Colorado! I hope you enjoy it here! Also those kias look really nice
Great work as always bro. Love the honest reviews. Very detailed. Great quality as well.....
Detailed reviews keep up the great work
great review love it as always well documented PS hope you get better soon take care of yourself i can wait for the next segment
Get well soon! I look forward to your reviews.
You don't waste time huh, keep it going!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
9,000 feet elevation (2,743 meters). That's why your car feels sluggish. Likely a 40 horsepower loss.
I sometimes hate this guy for roasting on my favorite cars but he sure knows how to entertain, great channel👌
My family owns the 2018 version of the SX-L trim tested here. It's our second Sorento, replacing an identically trimmed 2012 model. Nearly had to pry my wife's cold, dead fingers from the earlier model but after a week, or so, she was even more in love with the 2018 model. (It's her daily driver and our family truckster.) One of the most impressive aspects of KIA's design/engineering is their more or less constant updating of a model even within generations. For 2019 the Sorento gets an eight speed transmission and some improved headlights. Nice enhancements but not critical as far as we're concerned. More important to us was the fact that my wife's list of minor complaints about the earlier model were ALL rectified plus numerous other new and improved features. (Yeah, she made a list.)
Sofyan's comment about the Sorento being a "tweener" is right on. It was one of the most important aspects of the vehicle as far as we're concerned. We looked at several other options including the Mazda CX-9 and the Toyota Highlander. Surprisingly, the Sorento has more interior passenger room and more overall cargo space than the Mazda despite being 10" shorter! And while the Highlander claims to seat eight (based on the number of seatbelts in the third row), the Sorento actually has more room and amenities in the third row than the Toyota. As far as performance is concerned, Sofyan's estimate of 7.7 seconds 0-60 is a bit conservative based on our experience driving mostly at near sea level. More like 7.1 seconds. Not a speed demon by any means but perfectly adequate for both daily driving and freeway cruising.
Otherwise, Sofyan's comments support our experience. The V6 is smooth, linear, quiet and refined. The interior in the SX-L trim is impressive. The driver controls are well placed and intuitive. The locking rear differential (not found on many of its rivals) is a godsend in snow. Otherwise, the AWD is unobtrusive and in our experience highly reliable.
It is worth noting that if one prefers the turbo 4 option that KIA dropped in 2018 and have no use, whatsoever, for a third row of seats, the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is otherwise an almost identical vehicle. It's worth considering but for us the third row and V6 are preferable.
Are you still own the 2018 Sorento ?. Any concern about the engine performance , any recall or something to be aware of. I'm about to buy the 2018 model.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
@@christianjimenez6004 No issues, whatsoever, either on my 2018 or my earlier 2012 model. I sometimes say that if the KIA warranty had been for two miles and/or 15 minutes I would have spent the same amount out of pocket for repairs...zero dollars.
Hope you get better soon Sofyan. Keep up the great work!
Congratulations on actually finding some snow here in Colorado! Down here in Colorado Springs we've only had one good snow all winter.
Great video! Been a fan for years!!!
keep it up brotha speedy recovery!
That SUV looks as big as an Audi Q7 without the expensive price.
The interior and exterior is way better bri
The interior and exterior is way better bruh
Brother, seriously, there is no need to apologize for the bell's palsy, get well, thank you for the great reviews...Okay, you can apologize for the sun glasses.
I had Bell’s Palsy as a kid in high school. Never came back though and I’m 71 so keep a good thought!
Get well, bro~~~ Healtiness is everything~~~!!!
A fan from South Korea~~~
I love watching your videos you give a lot of information and sorry about your bells palsey I understand it. Thank you for your time I really appreciate it..I want a Kia sorento lol
As usual Sofyan great review !
Good Job with the honest reviews...
plus for effort. support for the hard work man.. you'll be back in shape in no time.. Bells palsy is a manageable condition..
Awesome review, Keep up the good work 👏👏👏
Good job as usual.. Feel better 👊🏽
Hope you recover soon Sofyan. Great review 👍🏽
Smooth recovery my friend. I suffered from BP 9 years ago and it took me a while to recover but eventually did. I still have some residules sometimes because the nerves are affected. I appreciate your dedication in still moving forward abd giving us great reviews. You, Alex and Dave are my go to when checking out car reviews in that order. You actually got me into my current 2016 mdx. Do You know when they might change the mdx body? Soon the dealer will be trying to get me out my lease and into a new one so want to know should I hold out took the new body so thats why I'm asking.
Thank you! The show must go, we won't let Bell's Palsy slow us down! Regarding your MDX question, Acura should be introducing a new generation for 2020. Expect to see something in a year.
Colorado! My home state. Crested butte is gorgeous. Go back in the summer and you’ll be stunned!
Nice review, I hope you recover from the temporary palsy, Sofyan!
Excellent review Sofyan
Take Care and great video as always.
Get well soon Bro. Great Review.
I love the English teacher that everybody loves kinda vibe this car gives.
Great review. I enjoyed the details about wheel base and different trims. I have the 2017 SXL. Just a note, my regular key fob does the remote start. There is a second fob included by Kia which has longer range. They both start the engine with different button combinations.
It is just the sxl that has remote start right .
@@miguelcardenas2413 No i believe the SX trim does as well.
@@tomtalker2000 i bought an sx and it doesn’t have the remote start .
Great review. Wish you will getting well soon.
Awesome review. get well soon!
I actually didn't notice the palsy until you pointed it out, even when others were mentioning it in previous reviews. Maybe I was just more focused on the car itself?
Awesome Review Of 2019 Kia Sorento SX-L. 😀
Praying your Bell's Palsy clears up soon! Great review!
There is a sequence that you can use the standard key fob if your KIA is equipped with remote start. Simply hit the Lock, Panic and the Lock button in that order and it will start if it is remote start equipped.

As usual good review Sofyan. I pray that you are well sooner than expected. I do commend you for pushing through, that shows dedication and commitment. Have you heard anything from Mazda about the new Mazda 6. I am looking forward to that.
Julien Savage Thank you! We have requested to Mazda to invite us to the media drive for the new Mazda6. Hopefully we get an invite soon, been super excited to show you all that one :)
Awesome review! I help build these. Proudly built in West Point, GA, 🇺🇸.
I suffered from bell's palsy about half a year ago. I wanna say stress triggers it but its unknown. just be sure to get plenty of rest. Only time will help recovery.
Nice vid Sofyan get better soon! When do you think you can review the 2018 Sti thanks.
Great video! Hope your doing well!
Kia are dependable. I have a 2006 Kia Spectra with over 210,000 miles. It still works.
