      Then you'll have to compromise - because Sorento unfortunately comes with automatic with only lowly weak 4 banger 2.5l - only 180hp lol. Or you can get 2.5 turbo, but that comes with a catch 22 - the rough shifting unreliable robot with dual clutch (already recalled in Russia for reprogramming due to rough shifts on low speeds).

    Great review! Loved that you did the S trim. The number of standard features and style keeps this brand on a buying shortlist. The biggest takeaway for this SUV like the Telluride is how functional the interior is for the passengers. People will enjoy being in this vehicle because they will be able to bring some items and easily store them, bring an iPad, laptop etc and their phone. This mentality is what will sell many of these vehicles.
