After a front differential failure on my Subaru Outback 2017 at 120,000km that happened on december 30th '23 while at my in-laws we we're lucky enough to have a friend working at the local Kia dealership (Kia Matane in Quebec, Canada) and we acquired a '23 Sorrento X-Line. I don't think it will beat Subaru on the AWD but in a pickle like we are, I think it's a great offering. My only complain is that most off-road review are made using the factory tires. I'd be curious to see a off-road review using something like a Michelin LTX or a BFG A/T (if it exist in 20 inches!!!).
The DCT has overheated for other channels when stressed. As you can see, it handled these tests just fine. I’m sure the hybrid with its traditional 6-speed auto will be completely fine.
Awesome video thanks. I have the 22 X Line and I couldn’t be happier with the performance and reliability of this vehicle
Thanks for watching.
Thanks!
Wow!!! Humbled. Thank you

The new 2024 model gets better off road tires on the X Pro trim

2nd video of your videos I have watched (1st - 2024 Outback Wilderness). I continue to appreciate your succinct and expert based reviews. Well done.
Thank you! Happy to help!
You said the DCT that comes with the 2.5T engine overheats. Does the hybrid AWD model overheat as well, in stressful situations?

You should test that SICK 2010 Tahoe Z71 sometime 😬😬😬
I think the owner is too proud of it…lol
At 46k, I will take the Subaru Ascent Limited + Tech package.
I’d rather have the Outback wilderness (video coming soon shot in the same location)
Off road capable Kia… 😂
😉
For what most people need, it works.
Is it a wrangler (or even grand Cherokee)? No
