Love your reviews. Leased this vehicle about 3 weeks ago, after watching your review. We were looking at some of the other more expensive SUVs, and none of them can compare when you start matching options. Everything is standard in this vehicle, cost extra in the other vehicles. The price may seem high, but it has everything. We are really pleased with our SXL.
Just purchased one yesterday and already noticing the difference coming from a Jeep Liberty. It is much smoother and a lot of the features are perfect for my kids. At 30K it's become acceptable considering all the features I am getting. Definitely happy. KIA has done a great job on this vehicle. Props to them.
Saw this at the NAIAS in Detroit, and immediately liked it. I was expecting a fairly positive review of the vehicle, and what I have seen thus far has been pretty good. Thanks guys!
I bought a 14 sorento limited with everything exept the polished wheels on October 2013 and I absolutely love it. I was actually looking at the 14 acura mdx which it was 45k w no rebates and it didn't have the same amenities than the sorento which was 38k but got it for 34k with 3 miles on it. My fav thing is the push start and the pano roof, down side is it only has a 14 gal tank and it could be a little quieter.
Please don't hate me because I've had three KIA's. Now the Sorento SX makes four. Great car, great price, and great warranty. If you don't like them.....then don't like them but don't hate me because I have one.
***** Wow......Haven't had it to long but...I would give this ride a big plus. I could do without the third row seating but if you can use it ...It's a plus too. Go take a test drive see how it suits you. This is a lot of car for your dollar. KIA has a great rep and you can take that to the bank. This car looks good inside and out, rides good and has plenty of power.(by no means a muscle car and by no means a slowskey). Gas mileage unknown only have about 200 miles on it..guess I will have to let you know..but happy so far. Plan to do a review myself. Over all no bad all good. I hope this helps.
My last newscaster job was in Spokane, Washington (ABC) but before that I worked in Portland, OR, St. Louis, MO, Indianapolis, IN (and a few other places) - Dave
In 2018 I found a 2014 KIA sorerento sxl. Red line it had only had 12000 miles on it ...now it has 52000... I have had no problems with it I have gone to Oregon 3 times from the LA area around 1000 one way got 28 miles per gal... out of my v6 this vehicle is great very depend able I would buy another one brian
Alex another "inch" you guys are awesome and entertainment. Probably there best online reviewers so can we see the latest and greatest Chevy traverse, and chrysler town and country please. The 2009 model of the town and country had an interior table that came up and the second row seats were reversible to play cards with the third row seats on the table!!
Have the last generation Kia Sorento (2013).The Sorento is often criticized unfairly for interior space because it fails to provide the same 3 row space of CUV's like the Mazda CX9. Yet the KIA is 16 (!) inches shorter than the Mazda and only 5-6 inches longer than the RAV4 and CRX, neither of which offers a third row. It's true that the third row is viable only for children or short trips for 7 adults. But the KIA is a COMPACT CUV with extra space and utility, not a midsize CUV lacking space.
Thanks for the review. Did you guys get a chance to compare it with the EX model which has 18" wheels? I am considering getting the SX model, but I am not sure if the 19" wheels will lead to a rougher ride quality. Any suggestions?
I find it frustrating that these manufacturers keep stuffing third row seats into SUV's that probably shouldn't have them. If I need three rows I'll buy a van or bigger SUV. I'd rather see an SUV this size with more leg room up front and in the 2nd row rather than a useless third row.
I know this comment is old as hell, but i live in Alabama and my mom just left it open the other night without me realizing, the next day when i got in, after sitting in the sun all morning and until like 2pm, it was comfortable inside and the leather wasn’t even hot!
Why didn't you recline the back seat when you where testing space? You guys where bolt upright. I'm 5'8" and can make legroom look tight if I sit with backrest jacked like that.
it increases the price unnecessarily!cut down the cost and maintenance by having a simple non motorized gate !instead of making it standard they should have made it optional
Im glad Alex found the time between golf rounds to do his little car reviews. Nice outfit.... At least Dave looks presentable, almost newscast worthy....hmmmm, lol.
This vehicle is not a full size crossover SUV. I don't know why every one wants to compare it to the other vehicles. First reason, the price. It starts around $25,000. Much of the larger crossovers, such as Durango, Explorer, Pilot start around $30,000. Second reason, the space. Yes, it has a third row, but it's no where near as big as the other vehicles I named. The Sorento is about the size of a Venza, and that's what it competes with. Vehicles like the Edge, Venza, Murano, and Journey.
Neither korean, nor japanese cars are not engineered according to western standars. So please, don't be disappointed, if you falsly bought one. The better, wiser and responsible buying desicion is to choose one vehicle, such as: Fiat Chysler Group, Ford Motors, Chevrolet, General Motors, Lincoln, Cadillac, Jeep, Dodge, Land Rover, Range Rover, Bentley.
I suppose we are driving mostly children on back seats :-) I'm personally 6 foot 1 inch but person behind me 99% of time wouldn't be taller than 5 foot 8. Anyway, 2015 Sorento is bigger than this one, test it., Although it seems to me this one is prettier outside. at least for me.
hey people im so confused about the kia sorento sx and the lx..... while the lx has a small screen in the interior while the sx has a bigger screen plz help
The 2013/2014 Sorento is a nice rig, lots of nice exxtra features if you can deal with the borderline low rent plastics. Note: Alex is a moron . . . I'm 62, strong upper body but I have a bad back; opening and closing that back hatch would cause me pain at a minimum and might actually put my back out!
What about CHEVROLET Equinox, CHEVROLET Tahoe, Cadillac Crossover, Cadillac Escalade, RANGE ROVER Sport, DODGE Durango, ... they are best quality, best prestigeous vehicles, while not owning one kia sorento will give you satisfaction. We vote: 'no kia'.

What was your last Jeep?
Saw this at the NAIAS in Detroit, and immediately liked it. I was expecting a fairly positive review of the vehicle, and what I have seen thus far has been pretty good. Thanks guys!
Oh, and I really like this format for the review, kind of a mix of your earlier reviews, and the RVM pieces. This works well.

Hey man, i was wondering what do u have to say to somebody who is looking to buy this Sorento 2014 model? The good n bad of this vehicle pls :)

TheOkeyone Ok thank u for you're time :)
***** you are welcome

The car will make you feel rich LOL
Last road trip........27.8 MPG
I know Dave - thats why you are the man and really polished on these things. Can't say that about Alex though.
Great review guys! All reviewers should take note of what you guys did and how you covered so much.
My last newscaster job was in Spokane, Washington (ABC) but before that I worked in Portland, OR, St. Louis, MO, Indianapolis, IN (and a few other places) - Dave
In 2018 I found a 2014 KIA sorerento sxl. Red line it had only had 12000 miles on it ...now it has 52000... I have had no problems
with it I have gone to Oregon 3 times from the LA area around 1000 one way got 28 miles per gal... out of my v6 this vehicle is great very depend able
I would buy another one brian
9,345 Kia Sorentos equipped with 2.4 liter engines from 2014 recalled for a manufacturing issue that may cause the right front axle shaft to shatter.
It's nice that you guys review so many cars. It's bad that you guys are the ones reviewing it.
Alex another "inch" you guys are awesome and entertainment. Probably there best online reviewers so can we see the latest and greatest Chevy traverse, and chrysler town and country please.

Hey Dave matched his sports shoes to his shirt again. That's cute
Nice to see Superman getting some screen time!
Thanks for the review. Did you guys get a chance to compare it with the EX model which has 18" wheels? I am considering getting the SX model, but I am not sure if the 19" wheels will lead to a rougher ride quality. Any suggestions?
Not at all...!
oh yesh, I've hit the Subscribe button, really into your reviews , find it pretty informative and nice filming too. Your welcome!
guys. it's not a minivan. If you want more space, buy a Sedona!!!
Exactly. That said, knee space in 2nd row should be a bit bigger, back seats should stretch more to back...
If this was comparison with the Ford Edge Limited who would win?
I find it frustrating that these manufacturers keep stuffing third row seats into SUV's that probably shouldn't have them. If I need three rows I'll buy a van or bigger SUV. I'd rather see an SUV this size with more leg room up front and in the 2nd row rather than a useless third row.
Love the music selection :D
I own a 2013 sorento love it but I hate the new tail lights shape looks to weird
they deserve more views and subscribers!
BET THAT ROOF HEATS THE INTERIOR TO A BOILING POINT IN THE SUMMER !
And that's when you OPEN it....
I know this comment is old as hell, but i live in Alabama and my mom just left it open the other night without me realizing, the next day when i got in, after sitting in the sun all morning and until like 2pm, it was comfortable inside and the leather wasn’t even hot!

Each fleet company that supplies us vehicles has a specialized inventory - we'll be getting Fords soon, trust me :-) - Dave
9:25 - That's why the button is created so that you don't have to manually close/open the trunk door...
it increases the price unnecessarily!cut down the cost and maintenance by having a simple non motorized gate !instead of making it standard they should have made it optional
@@thomasbklyn But for short people; having a motorized lift-gate is a major blessing.
Awesome car owned for 1 year the best suv for the money.
is the new Hyundai Santa Fe LWB bigger than the Sorento?
first thing guy in cap says is it's a 2013. so which is it guys? fogs look like '14.
Long term tests are my needed...
But what feature would you get in those luxury cars at that price? Nothing even close to that. Would cost like 65-70K to get that in a benz, bmw, etc.
Im glad Alex found the time between golf rounds to do his little car reviews. Nice outfit....
At least Dave looks presentable, almost newscast worthy....hmmmm, lol.
Did anyone else spot Superman? Nice touch!
"Its amazing what another inch can do" LOL

Grocery getter? For 40000 plus, I'd say it's not a grocery getter.

Nice car but cost is a bit on a high end for a kia
That's how I roll :-) Dave

Why don't you review any fords?
Great video
Good review
Kia still does not have the prestige and status to even go north of 30k
Kal-El - Dave
6 years bumper and 10 years on engine/transmission

Oh, and the "car" cave? There's only 1 car in there. The rest are motorcycles and a plane? I guess vehicle cave doesn't sound as cool.

Hold up: the Range Rover? Yeah right, they fall apart.
3rd-row seats just don't belong in this size SUV. Dump it and make the second row and rear cargo better.
not be a bug, but this episode feels a bit biased.
superman
@OneNewOpinion Do that and watch your repair bills rack up
Blame the automatic tailgate on lazy people who don't want to use the energy to open and shut things anymore!
Nobody wants to buy this because kia is losing their mind with their outrageous price tag.. Its still a kia < u could get a lexus,benz,bmw, infiniti
people comenting about space strech legs.
I'd rather buy the honda pilot touring
Da fuc did I type
have noticed the ghost at 7:00 ?
hmmmm 2014 kia built in 2013?
Dave Hooker I have seen two completely different 2011 Kia Sorento . They are know for doing weird things in the same year models.
Terrible gas milage, I must say.
Use of microphones is sooooo lame.
Jealous.
Thanks for the video but you guys are too fake..couldn't make it through the video.
i would rather buy a Mercedes m class suv.
Even Mercedes is no longer Mercedes. Stop living in the past. BWM, Mercedes not the top dogs anymore. welcome to 2014.
Neither are these asian imports. I want quality.
All you guys are pretty Fu CKEd uP
That's my point Mercedes is not that great anymore hell you can buy a ford and put Mercedes on it and you would never know lmao.
Because why the hell would I spend 40K plus on a fucking Kia.
