      Well, it’s not really illegal, and I suspect you know that, but I don’t like when a car brand comes up with a unique design feature and then someone apes it. I mean, be original. But Kia has been swiping other brands design since its inception. I don’t like it.
      The thing about those vertical lighting elements is that it was so unique that you could always tell it was a Cadillac when you saw it coming towards you from hundreds of meters away. When design elements are that unique, it should get respect instead of swiping it.
      I do wish Joe would zonk uncreative copycats.
      While it doesn’t have a third row, I’d take the 2024 Cadillac XT4 for $45k over this at $45k. You’d get a nice example of an XT4 for $45k. I mean, why not get the real thing instead of the imitation.

    I have had 4 Sorentos. My 2019 SX had memory seats, third row air, electric thigh extention, tilt down mirrors in reverse, double pane glass, and many other features that my current one does not. When they came out with the new design, which mine is a 2022, they took some features away from the Sorento so that if you wanted them plus the V6, you would have to move up to the Telluride.

    Hey Joe, good Kia review as usual. I like the restyle. The inside looks fabulous over the 23 model. As a previous owner of 3-Kia’s, I often ask if the Kia value quotient is still in place. $45k and no memory seat for the driver or HUD display? Do the mirrors fold down when putting into reverse? Seems like Kia “Robs Peter to pay Paul” with model changes. The biggest issue I have with Kia is using that dual-clutch transmission. Car Connections just bought a 24 Santa Fe and the dual-clutch transmission went at 30 MILES!!! Total replacement needed. You read forums on the dual-clutch and it’s not good. I wish Kia (and Hyundai) would discontinue the dual clutch as go with the conventional 8-speed used in Genesis. If they used the conventional Genesis 8- speed, this would be close to near luxury and I might be interested. Cheers🤪

    Really enjoy your reviews Joe. I especially appreciate your "On Throttle" segment. You're not afraid to give the vehicles you're testing "the beans". I'd like to know what these vehicles are made of before I get to them so thanks for not being timid about hitting the accelerator. My current lease is up and this is on my short list. However, the one criticism I have is that Memory Seating is only available in the two top trim levels. Really Kia? That's a bit silly. Anyway, thanks Joe.

    Raiti hands down has the best puns of all the car reviewers on UA-cam. Rubbing wood, cream on the seats, illegal drugs… had me 😂😂. The bells and whistles nowadays are really jacking these prices up. Luckily, Kia depreciation is still heavy, and I’ve seen you can get good deals on ~2+yrs used if you want the top trims!

    I'll chose both Hyundai and KIA over a ford any day. Ford just suck when it comes to driving and long term reliability.

      Hyundai/KIA are not much better than Ford. They have long term reliability issues as well. DCT transmission issues, engines catching fire and the most recent recall of the Palisades where they could experience a valve spring failure, a problem that can cause major engine damage including puncturing a hole in the block!!!

    Nice interior,nice materials,good styling,but the only problem is that the brand tend to depreciates too fast.(same as hyundai).probably next year you can find certified ones with a few miles for almost half of that price.

    Joe, great typical review. But No Memory Seats, No Power steering wheel adjustment? Little things like that are meaningful. Once You have those things, it's hard to let go! 4/18 update - I definitely prefer the Kia Sorrento over the new Santa Fe. I would also look into the Hybrid Model for sure!

    I would have never considered a Kia Sorento but my wife’s car is in the shop and we have one for a rental. It’s a very nice vehicle. It rides great, nice room inside. My only complaint is the power. I feel like it’s under powered. Ive now added it to my list of vehicles to look at when I buy a new vehicle.

  • @tjs114

    I recently had to replace my car and we already own a 2019 Sorento V6 that we really appreciate for long distance trips so I was checking out the S Trim of the 2024 Sorento, but the markup in our area made them a non-starter, especially since they all had the panoramic sunroof which was something we were very much avoiding.
    So we looked at the 24 Santa Fe's which were hitting the lots but they became an instant NO since they only come with that dreadful DCT. Ended up getting a huge deal on a new 23 Santa Fe that was built in December 2023 (nearly $8,000 off MSRP!)
