I have now my 2nd Kia for 2 years ( a Kia Sportage 2016 4 WD 2.0 turbo Diesel ) and I had a Sorento diesel 2010 before , these are my " best Cars I had " , I had a few Toyota diesels Cars , the Kia leaves them for dead. ( P.S I am not working for Kia )Cheers from NZ
Very nice presentation. I liked the warm and friendly style quite unusual among UA-cam channels. I also appreciate the professionalism and the multitude of details described in your own style. I look forward to see many other car presentations as soon is possible.
Great review Chris. The intro entertained and the conversation with the passer by will hopefully inspire you to seek feedback from others in future reviews. I'm very pleased to have found your channel.
Thank you, a very informative report. I really like the Kia, particularly having just priced up a Volvo XC60 and finding that it would cost me €65,000, and that's without many of the options that are standard on the Sorento. I think it would be over €70,000 to get the Volvo with the same equipment. The Kia 7 year warranty is also a big selling point.
True, but I have no need of the extra seating and would actually prefer a five seater. I wish that the Kia still sold the five seat option in my country, but the current price list only offers the 7 seater. You are quite correct, the price difference between the XC90 and Sorento is even more startling.
connard123abc please tell what is that square shape with the two black knobs on the dashboard just under the windshield it driving me nuts not knowing it's purpose
Hi wieder mal gelungene Test Video echt super. Mich würde sehr interessieren zum Vergleich zu Kia der neue Hyundai Santa Fe IV Test Video von Ihnen würde mich auf jeden Fall freuen und weiter so 👍
Very good and thorough review! The LED headlight issue is something I never knew about, and hopefully Kia will address this issue. I have owned a 2010 version of this car, for nearly 2 years. I had the engine remapped slightly to 215hp and 470NM which gives the extra power when you need it. This latest version seems to have all the modern technology and in my opinion, is a very good value for money. The car I have feels very stable at high speeds, although you have to back off a bit on tight bends. I have fitted Michelin Latitude Cross tyres which work well in the snow and muddy fields too. I am amazed you do not see more of them on the roads?
swizzler68 thank you a lot for your feedback!! Yes - it's really stable to drive at higher speeds. And no - I don't see them that often as a facelift. More the predecessor. The problem is that people have to learn that you get a lot more for less money than yooj might expect. Fantastic car!
Did I miss your thoughts on the braking system? I'd like to know how the brakes work in different situations, like stopping suddenly, hilly or flat terrains, weather conditions like rain or climates of cool and/or hot, etc. Great Review & Thanks
Royalty B that's a typical thing that you see in video. It's not like that in person. It's like your eyes: when you see a car driving by it seems that the wheels are turning backwards but they're not 😉
yes. And also start if the car goes soon. But like after 4 sec of sopping asks you to tap the accelerator or press the resume switch and then continues to follow.
Darren P @ Tell the truth bud! Anyone that knows shit about the KIA recall on some engines knows that KIA handled, and continues to handle the recall very well. Let's see if you would get that kind of coverage from GM or Chrysler. You received a brand new engine with lots of warranty. Why bitch about it idiot!
Thank you, Chris. This is the best and most complete review I've seen.
Great review man. One of the few reviews where almost every feature was mentioned. Keep it up

Love this new Sorento. Looks great inside and out. Well done.
Was so easy to watch all 28 mins of it. Great review, Chris.
Joshua Amoah thank you Joshua!!
The idea of interviewing random people is great. Many would ask things that also come to your Viewers mind!

its volvo competetor is rather the XC90, having 7 seats (and beeing even more expensive...)

Beautiful looking car
Haha I like that new style of your intro ;)
Somuchen thanks :-) wanted to do something else this time
Being a bit different is always a good idea!
Somuchen
I love this one.
Chris you need to do an X5 review...
Adoro este Kia. Só é pena em Portugal custar qualquer coisa como 52000€! Congratulations from Portugal
I wish he does 0-60 so I can see how the v6 with new 8- speed gear shift.
Wie gut wahren die led scheinwerfer?
Sacred intercoursing feces.... 202 km/hr!! 😮. And the cat was moving like just another day.
Why do the lights constantly blink like that?

AWD Lock on the Autobahn??????? Please explain uuuuuuggghhhhh!!!
What do you mean?
Does the ACC comes to a compleet stop automaticly?
yes.
And also start if the car goes soon. But like after 4 sec of sopping asks you to tap the accelerator or press the resume switch and then continues to follow.
Video should be shorter, i like the intro😂😂
Interior cluster and design is still whack
Kia vehicle engines are known to only last 78,000 miles. This I'm told from a Kia represenative.
Darren P I'm told your thing lasts only for one minute from your mom.
142.000km (88.234 miles, 2010 Kia Sorento 2.2crdi AWD).
박범녕 you must be one of Korea's most wanted bullies online. Don't waste your life kiddo.
I didn't. I just didn't give up to the liars at Kia. I got my brand spanking new engine for free. Kia is the bully, i'm the bully killer.
