    I'm just an average guy who LOVES making videos about cars, trucks, SUVs, CUVs, Scooters, and even the dreaded minivan!
    Here's my honest review of the All-New, totally redesigned 2016 KIA Sorento.
    More about the vehicle:
    There are 3 engine options available for the 2016 KIA Sorento:
    The base 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine produces 185 hp and 178 lb.-ft. of torque while delivering an EPA-estimated 21 city/29 hwy/24.
    The 3.3 liter, DOHC, 24-valve V6 of my test model pounds out a smooth 290hp and 252 lb.-ft. of torque while delivering an EPA-estimated 18 city/26 hwy/21.
    For a blend of power and fuel economy the available 2.0 liter Turbocharged 4 generates 240 hp and 260 lb.-ft. of torque while delivering an impressive EPA-estimated 20 city/27 hwy/23.
    Electronically Controlled 6-Speed Automatic Transmission is standard across the board and AWD is an option on all models except the base L trim.

    I view your videos whenever I want a review of base models. Just about everybody else reviews the high end models, but not everyone can afford those. Thanks for your budget friendly reviews!

    Ran across this video, because I am picking up a 2017 sorento this weekend. I was surprised I lived where you filmed this video. Thank you for the information

      @averageguytested we kept it for about 2 years and the differential went out. We traded it for a 2019 chevy equinox.

    Wonderful review. Test drove one after watching your video, but it's a 2017. Very impressed. Was planning on a Nissan Murano, but this is much cheaper & has more features for the price. Better value for the dollar. Thanks, Tony -- you sold me, Dude !!!

    Whoa... I feel like the refreshed 2014 just came out! Nice redesign but I feel like the Sorento lost a bit of it "character" here.

    • @brorowcarwiz
      @brorowcarwiz 9 років тому +1

      Exterior design, too. Looks less like an SUV to me and more like a minivan now!
