Kia Sorento Review Summary
"The engine is smooth and powerful, barely perceptible at idle but producing a velvety roar at full throttle."
"With all the available seat adjustments, such as front- and rear-cushion tilt, it's a breeze for short and tall drivers alike to get comfortable behind the wheel."
"Sorento is the only under-$30,000 SUV with standard front and rear side-curtain airbags."
"$5,000 to $6,000 less than comparable SUVs. Yet it comes loaded with standard features."
What reviewers liked least about the Kia Sorento:
"The ride is okay, based on our few-hour drive, though in 2wd the rear tires got skittish on gravelly curves at modest speed."
"The EX has splashes of 'woodgrain' trim, which is plastic doing a poor job imitating wood."
Kia Sorento Comparisons:
"The Kia Sorento is a roomy vehicle, offering slightly more headroom and equal front shoulder room to that of the Jeep Grand Cherokee."
"At the test track the Sorento ran to 60 mph in 9.3 seconds and took 17.1 ticks to run down the quarter-mile. These figures actually place the Kia near the front of the pack when compared to rivals such as the Ford Escape V6, Jeep Liberty and Hyundai Santa Fe."
Best one-liners about the Kia Sorento:
"Just a few years ago, Kia was as anonymous as a wanna-be rock star at karaoke night."
