DON"T BUY THIS CAR!!!!!!! I drove mine for less than 500 Kms before it broke down. THe dealer has had the car in the garage for 7 days now (less than 2 weeks old) and can not fix the problem......They are refusing me the request for another sorento.......STAY FAR AWAY FROM KIA SORENTO!!!!!
My wife and I just purchased a black on black Sorento today. And we are so happy with it. We were actually going to purchase an used Mazda CX-9 which was at a KIA dealershiop. They CX-9 they had was just ok, so the sales person introduced us to the Sorento. Man we were so surprised at the all the features for the amount of money. And once we drove it we fell in love. KIA has really stepped there game up. I looks just like an Acura RDX to me.
@amazonrush5 I agree with you. I drive an old 2004 Ghetto Kia rio and now when I want to buy a new car, Kia was never on my list until I saw new optima on road and I was blown away by styling. After checking it out on web I saw that Kia I drive and present kia are miles apart. I have made up my mind now to get a sorento. One thing I can say about reliability, I got mine second or third hand (used car) and I didnt get any issue for past 3 years. Car still runs fine and I will keep it.
I have the same sorento but its in black. It sucks so bad in the snow Im thinking about returning. Can any1 tell me why it sucks so bad. I cant even pull in my garage with 2 inches of snow.

The one thing that I did notice on this vehicle was the seat cover stitching. If you look at the headrest @ 3:52, it looks like it was sewn together by Stevie Wonder. All in all, still a great vehicle, but I hope they work on that aspect of the interior.

Great video! Very informative. I have been looking at the Sportage. You explained a lot about the vehicle and all of it's neat features. The interior looks really nice. Isn't it true that Kia is now being designed by the person who used to make Audi vehicles? I might consider checking this car out.
SEOUL (AFP) South Korea's second largest carmaker Kia Motors said Friday its net profit more than quadrupled in the first quarter to March this year, thanks to strong sales at home and abroad.
Kia, an affiliate of Hyundai Motor Co., said it earned 398.5 billion won (358 million dollars) in the three months ended March 31, up from 97.3 billion won in the same period last year.
"Strong demand for new models such as the K7 sedan and the Sorento R sport utility vehicle and increased sales in the United States, China and Russia drove profit and sales higher," a company spokeswoman said.
First-quarter operating profit also surged more than three-fold to 309.8 billion won as sales rose 39 percent to 4.86 trillion won.
The country's largest automaker, Hyundai Motor, on Thursday reported its net profit jumped almost five-fold to to an all-time record 1.12 trillion won (1.0 billion dollars) in the same period on the back of strong sales abroad.
no, because an Audi is and Audi. Lexus a Lexus. If Kia wants to make a good car, then they should figure out how to themselves. Copying others just isn't acceptable. I'm sorry, but it's true. When i buy an Audi, I don't want to pull out to a VERY poorly built copy kia- which looks like my Audi. but that's beside the point, this guy is lying about the quality and them leading in innovation. his claims are for profit reasons, and NEEDS to state that according to law actually.
J40d So what your saying is even though the quality of most of these vehicles are the same across the board "WHICH WE ALL KNOW THEY ARE" with a few minor details, consumers should spend top dollar for what- Name Status? I'm 45 I've driven Bmw, Nissan, Toyota my daliy commuter is an 2009 Audi SLine A4 My wife's is a Jetta VR6..
We bought the Sorento as a third vehicle. I feel the only ones ripping anyone off are the other auto makers charging outrageous prices for their models.KIA's giving the consumer just what they want a nice looking, dependable vehicle at a great price.

Sorry but kia JUST started making their vehicles in the US this year. They are in fact a foreign company-Korean. Honda Nissan Toyota and others all make their vehicles in the US most for 15-20 years now. Kia wasn't the first to introduce a 10yrs 100000K Bumper to Bumper. Hyundai was. Once again, so what if Peter Schreyer is the lead designer? all he offers is the ability to design a Kia that looks like an Audi, or Mercedes, or Lexus. NOT A KIA. They are ripoffs.
@J40d Ya 10yrs 100000K Bumper to Bumper made in the US $30,489 Loaded everything tax tags delivery out the door. What were all the others? The others started at 35k and higher FOR MID LEVEL.The Lead Designer for Kia Motor was Audi's top man And by your remarks you, my friend, are a classic sheeple you go ahead keep supporting the foreign Auto Makers!`

@rontonkinkia oh you're so clever. this is a complete rip off of a Lexus rx. i have driven this car and it's crap. you're trying to sell on you tube. The kia isn't cheaper than a Honda or Toyota in the long run. nor does it have the reliability or resale value of either brand. a Honda looks like a Honda, Toyota like Toyota, a kia? depends on what day of the week. today it looks like a cheap ripoff of a Lexus rx. BTW kia has done nothing, they innovated nothing. only making ripoffs.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@rontonkinkia okay. give me ONE innovation that is become a standard or optional feature in other cars from other companies. Give me ONE example when Kia out performed a toyota, honda, or nissan overall. and I'm not talking price, i'm talking out performed. I do know what i'm talking about, you're just trying to sell cars. and you're lying in the process. i'm not saying that kia makes a bad car, i'm saying that they just aren't any good.
Order ours Maxed MSRP Was 34,590 we got it for 30,489,in Pacific Blue.Our buget was in the 40s we were heading to the Audi Dealer to buy the Q5 for 43 and change that was the mid level model, maxed was in the 50s. It was beauitful no doubt! We saw the Sorento at a traffic light decided to take a quick look.People we were "SHOCKED" The Sorento hands down blew us away ,the ride was so much better than Audi.I know sounds crazy.The Ride,Handeling,Looks and its loaded! Worth every dollar we paid :)
@soeasypls I am so glad to hear that you chose the Kia over the Audi. Kia has come a VERY long way in the last 3 years. They are among 3 manufacturers that grew in sales last year and they don't plan to stop. What was Audi's warranty? A LOT less than Kia and you will actually need to use that warranty with the Audi.
3years 60k what good is that ;) We order ours yesterday actually Thanks for the video post by the way at least now i know my Sorento inside and out, now we wait till ours comes in they told us about a month :(
@rontonkinkia so a thief stoles my remote for my car and just put it in their pocket and just unlock my Sorento?? I just don't get that concept in general and i think it's really dangerous that anyone could open someone else's car.
Your last sentence summed up everything great. I loved the review. Looking to my own Mohave and this, i can see that not only they have added the stuff they first introduced in the Mohave/Borrego, but they also refined them more. Everything is a little bit more thought out, than it is on my Mohave. Great Great review. You actually made me want to buy the Sorento now. :)
@dakidakov Thank you. The Sorento is a great vehicle as is the Borrego/Mohave. I did watch your review, you did a great job as well. For some reason the Orange color didn't sell well here....
If you're a car salesman, videos like this will bring you success. This video walkthrough is what savvy, value-oriented, nervous, and even first-time buyers would appreciate.
NO, thank you for the compliments. "I" am not selling cars anymore, I do these videos and a few other marketing projects for my dealership Ron Tonkin Kia up here in Oregon. I have received a lot of positive feedback from the videos from all over the world. Kia has come so far in the last 3 years, I am proud to be a part of it.
What a beautiful vehicle. Kia went on the extreme makeover. It's an excellent looking vehicle. Lots of features for the money. Great review by the way.
