All TFL content is better than anything on cable TV! I watch almost all episodes from all the channels!
With this vehicle: off-road means a parking lot at the mall. 🙄
Most AWD systems aren't really meant for offroading. Their real use is for icy roads.
I know you guys like doing more "stock" vehicles for your offroad tests, especially the tires. For some of us non hardcore offroaders, I'd be interested in seeing some shows with stock vs true AT tires installed to showcase how tires can make a difference.
this was ALL driver error on this test. Lol No offense, but if you do not know what "mode" to be in, then that is a problem. Merci
I never heard Kia claim this Sorento was made with offroading in mind. It can handle rough terrains as an AWD but don't expect a performance of a core 4x4.
A $44,000 Kia is a good deal? Not in my book.
It's a family car not offroad, they didn't put offroad option inside; you are installing street tires which absolutely will not have the right traction in offroads
Worst vehicle I ever purchased was a KIA Sorrento. While it actually was surprisingly capable off road with the solid rear axle and Eaton limited slip with a low range, it was plagued with electrical issues from Cam and crank position sensors failing to lights and door locks failing etc etc to finally at 85k having the rear end bearings going out. Worst part was they would not cover a single issue under warranty. I would never recommend or purchase another vehicle made by KIA again.
I actually bought the new 21 X-Line. Your review is very miss leading. No one will actually take there vehicle “off-road” without preparing for it, even the basis of an AT tire set up. Additionally something you really missed the mark on: Yes your not buying a Cherokee or Wrangler, but you are getting a third row for larger families, ability to handle harsh weather conditions, oh and a true auto lane assist with adaptive cruise control.. which you don’t get this in any other type of SUV. Plus all the other amazing features. Being a dad of three this was the exact SUV I was looking for even after looking at Jeep, Subaru, and even looking at the demo Branco. Has all the bells and whistles you could ask for and still an AWD.
An “X” on something used to mean “DON’T” or “NOT”. Maybe this is Kia telling us DON’T take this off road.
Scrolling through most recent videos on TFLoffroad: TRX, Raptor, 4Runner, GX, FJ.... Sorento! 😂😂🤣
"this third row may better be suited for kids or small primates"😂😂😂😂😂
You should bring Andre's dad's old Sorrento out here and show what the difference is in off-road capability of the two.
Kia: puts plastic covers under the car like very other company
I'm still trying to wrap my head around a Kia family hauler having a dual clutch.... Very interesting results
Keep doing what you do with these crossovers. This is what separates you from the majority of other automotive publications; you're not afraid to push the vehicles off-road. 👍
Literally was headed to the Kia dealer and thought “let me watch some reviews” and bam TFL literally shows up saying posted 12 hrs ago! 😇🙏🏻
It’s a dual clutch FWD based AWD (on-demand clutch pack) crossover. My dad has a 2014 Sorento. Similar AWD but has a TC auto transmission with the “locker”. It goes thru mud and and dirt roads slightly more aggressive than truth. Nothing amazing but gets the job done. Good for your “everyday” off-roading and is honestly all that Sorento buyers ever need.
Take Andre’s father Sorento to Dare! I like that old fashioned SUV, cause my father has one too! 😍
