2011 Kia Sorento

Trim: sx
by Randall5252 on 11-14-2017
drives nice but is loud on the hiway

The car is a beautiful car inside and out and it handles very well, has lots of speed, the moon roof is a nice feature, but it did have small quarks about it for being such a high end car. The locks on the outside had factory issues and the leather seats seem to be very cheap, the rims were only just coated in chrome. Also the handsfree Bluetooth for the phone was awful the person your speaking to can never hear you, but the stereo is Bose and it is amazing.

Best SUV I Ever Owned!
Have owned 2 other SUV's one a Jeep Liberty and Santa Fe, neither can compare to the Sorento! This vehicle has the comfort ride of a Cadillac and the power and handling of a jeep. My family has been on a few road trips, they are young adults now. Tons of leg room for comfort and storage is a dream The fuel ECO feature is a plus and its the best on gas I have experienced. The Rear Driver Assist is fantastic, it's been always on and saved a small dog once from being run over. The safety of this SUV is the best in it's class. Hands down, the best SUV, ever!!!

2011 Kia Sorento

Trim: LX AWD
by KeyKing51 on 03-19-2016
Fist Kia
I bought a 2011 Sorento LX AWD about a month ago (January 2016) with 86,000kms. It had been dealer serviced and rust proofed every year from new. I was looking at the Rav4 and Equinox seriously, however decided on the Sorento and so far very pleased with my purchase for many reasons.

I'm surprised how large this SUV feels inside. It is very well equipped with many features at an amazing price. The 2.4L V4 engine performs well in the city and on the highway, lots of pickup when needed. When looking at prices for parts, Kia seems very reasonably priced compared to Toyota or Chevy. A bonus of the V4 2.4L engine is that it has a timing chain, not a belt.

I always use winter tires for the winter, however purchasing this SUV in late January I elected not to buy winter tires yet since there was only a few months of winter left and it hadn't been that bad yet. I went on a road trip north and drove through quite a snowstorm with black ice under the snow on the roads and the All-Season tires mixed with AWD on this SUV handled better than I would have thought. Obviously the optimal performance and safety would be winter tires and AWD mixed with observing proper driving techniques and speed in each condition. I can't wait to see how it will handle next winter when I put on winter tires!

There is one downside and it seems true with almost any vehicle... The estimated fuel economy. For me city driving is averaging 11.3 - 12.5L/100km and by no means do I accelerate hard or stop quickly. On the highway I get average 8.2 - 9.1L/100km going 99km/h or under and 9.7 - 10.9 doing 110-115km on the 400 series highways.

To end the review if you are thinking about the Equinox or Rav4 I would recommend the Sorento for anyone who wants a mid-size vehicle, safety, features for price, performance, and what seems to be a low cost of ownership I think you will be happy too!

by Ramona on 08-20-2015
Suprisingly Luxurious
Have had this car for a week now and am delightfully surprised at how comfortable, powerful and smooth driving this vehicle is.

The arm rest is a bit on the low side as I am short and have the seat raised up, this is very low on my concern level though.

Fuel mileage is really good on the highway, could be a bit better in the city.

So far so good! Not looking forward for winter but excited at driving this vehicle in the snow.

Fantastic car
I love everything about this car. Had a 2009 Toyota RAV4 before which I also loved. We needed a more specious car for our growing family at the time and did a lot of research before buying the Sorento. It turned out to be everything that I expected and more.

I love my KIA
I love my Sorento. It looks nice, Drives well and is very spacious. I don't feel like I am driving a little car, which makes me feel safer having my 5 year old in the car. I have owned many makes and models, this is by far my favorite. The Sorento is my third KIA.

Great family vehicle
Really impressed with the performance and reliability of the Sorento. Great acceleration into traffic with the V6 engine. Fuel economy is a lot better than expected. 3rd row is alwat popular with the children but does not leave Mom driving a minivan.

This car is quite great on gas & great for travel. I use it as a family car and taught my kids how to drive using this car. The gas pedal can be quite sensitive at first but you'll get used to it. It has a great amount of space for a family of 4!
