I like the CX-9 as it is the best three-row for the street. It looks sportier to me as well. The KIA is a great all-around compromise with a ton of standard equipment.
I have the ex (2012) and I go winter camping in cold lake. No issues. Ruffly 5 km of non plowed dirt roads to get to a campsite and this made it all year. That’s 1/2 way up alberta ti u know there is snow.. I’m way happy. Use the electric locker and stay below 20 so it doesn’t turn itself off. Like the book says. Or u can turn the speed up and use the horses.. buts it’s fragile, so go slo and easy.. and take a friend to pull I out just in case.. always.. Have fun campers
Its a shame more and more crossovers are having less then 8 inches ground clearance and worse depart and approach angles. Some people want to drive in snow without hearing it rubbing the bottom.
Too many brand snobs around. I used to think KIA stood for "Killed In Action". Pieces of crap on wheels. It's simply just not the case anymore. Brand snobbery makes people miss out on some good products.
Hey Roman & Nathan! Love the review! Howcome you guys never mention or review the post 2011 Dodge Journey? This Sorento is basically a Journey replica!
OK, yes, muddy water splashing from the front tires looks cool... the first. or second time... but I'm only half way through the 5th video and you've shown it 5 times... too much. lol.
Does it still have insane amounts of torque steer in FWD mode? Its the one thing I have really disliked about the Kia/Hyundai crossovers with their V6.
Most of them scratch their heads, give us look like we are bit crazy, and wonder what we're doing up on this trail in a brand new car. Some stop and offer to help us because they think that we are stuck...especially if we are parked filming the vehicle.
Guys, what kind of looks and comments do you get from the serious offroad guys, when they see you up the trail in some of these vehicles? Are they generally snide, or are they impressed that you made it up that far along the trail?
At 2:20, when they go through the water and act surprised, you can clearly see that there is just one person in the car. I love Romans videos, but i wish they weren't as scripted and cheesy. And its things like the puddle scene that make me mad, Roman could really pump out some great videos if he just was more natural!
The problem with the KIA's and others is the cars have become much more expensive but all the lower surfaces are hard plastic. $35-$38 for hard plastic?
I hope Y'All keep putting out video's of family haulers that can go off road. Plus if its a family hauler someone can have a little bit of fun in, that's even better! We used to have a 2002 Pontiac Montana van. When we took the 3rd row seats out the wife's wheelchair fit in it pretty good. However the wife got it stuck a few times. Once I had to back it down over a small hill to a road below cause she got it stuck in the snow. We usually don't get much snow in Kentucky. When it does snow however the roads don't always get cleared good. Oh the reason we don't have the van anymore is the 3.4 engine blew. It did have somewhere around 220,000 on it when it blew though. On a side note to me the van was more practical than fun. I hope to get both sometime soon.
Competes against the Murano?? How?? The Murano has NO OFF ROAD capabilities... They are not rivals at all... About the Rav4... well, Rav4 is not in a specific segment, but it is not a competitor for the Sorento or the Santa Fe, as they are bigger and offer more than the Rav4 that, even though, it is larger than a small crossover, it is still seen as a small crossover if it is compared with larger vehicles within the Crossover SUVs segment. I think a Sorento is way better option over the Rav4.
The rear is an obvious hodgepodge of an Audi (taillights), and Acura MDX (pillar). Front headlamps are obvious Volvo inspired. Most won't care, but you can't break into the first tier ranks of the car business by being a flagarant immitator, which is all Hyundai Group is, just like Samsung & LG are...
Could it look any more like a Lexus RX on the front? Nice feature list, but Ill take a more complete package with better build quality, I.e. a used Audi Q5, or even an RX. Bland, forgettable, and characterless. South Koreans have always prided themselves on being fast followers', never innovators. That rings as true as ever with the Sorento

Thanks for the kind words and for watching. It was a long review and you should see the state of the car. We'll be washing cars this weekend.
Hi Bob, It was great meeting you. You have a sweet ride.
Great review guys. Kia sure has brought that vehicle a long way from where it started.
I met Roman and the crew at Cars and Coffee up in Lafayette yesterday. Super nice guy, and great reviews. Thank you guys for all the great videos!
My god this channel only get better and better, please keep it this way, fresh and fun!!! :)
First! Great review, both part 1 and 2 explain the car in huge detail! :)
You guys want to do a classic review. You should try and find an 850CSI with the manual. 20 years later and those cares still look good today.
Very good off road capabilities, I am impressed. That Magna Dynamax drive train seems to be good stuff.

looking forward for the next episode
I remember u guys like the CX 9 a lot. How do u think they compare
I have the 2013 kia sorento full option it is real amazing. But why you dont make 0-60 time it will be very impresive
Too many brand snobs around. I used to think KIA stood for "Killed In Action". Pieces of crap on wheels. It's simply just not the case anymore. Brand snobbery makes people miss out on some good products.
Truth... LX AWD V6 '14... Yup ;}
can't wait to see your videos of the f40!!!!
great review as always
whats the name of the theme tune of the show? who is it by?
You got GoPros? You should make a mashup with the Contour and the GoPro!
Hey Roman & Nathan! Love the review! Howcome you guys never mention or review the post 2011 Dodge Journey? This Sorento is basically a Journey replica!
Which is that song or music which is being played? I mean the guitar strumming. Please let me know. Thanks.
the next video looks great!!!
Really nice channel. I just bought a Santa Fe xl which should perform like the Kia, right?
You guys should take the Nissan pathfinder of off road the same way as the kia plzzzz
We're editing them now. Just a few days and they will be posted!
you should totally give us links to the soundtrack you put in your videos
Hey Nathan, what's up with the videos from China. It's nice you got to film the señoritas but what about the cars?
Do you guys review the car for their set demographic?
please can you make an off road review of the kia sportage :)
OK, yes, muddy water splashing from the front tires looks cool... the first. or second time... but I'm only half way through the 5th video and you've shown it 5 times... too much. lol.

Jaguar F-Type :D Please review that wonderful and gorgeous car!
Very cool review.
I like this car.

fantastic car tremendous review. this is amazing.
Competent is the word.
At 2:20, when they go through the water and act surprised, you can clearly see that there is just one person in the car. I love Romans videos, but i wish they weren't as scripted and cheesy. And its things like the puddle scene that make me mad, Roman could really pump out some great videos if he just was more natural!
great video by the way
Can you do a Nissan Patrol review
I have a 1989 bmw 635csi. I love the car to death.
I hope you have a fun time doing that! :)
What's the worst car review as in the forget it category?
Is the lwb santa fe as good off-road?
is there going to be a 0-60?
Roman: Sorento doesn't compete with RAV4 in Toyota's lineup! It competes with Highlander.
Actually, I think the Santa Fe is a little lighter on its toes on the road.
Theres a Cars and Coffee in Lafayette? Hmmm...Thats only 10 minutes lol
What a music ?
The problem with the KIA's and others is the cars have become much more expensive but all the lower surfaces are hard plastic. $35-$38 for hard plastic?

I bought it and love it LX AWD V6 '14... Yup ;}
My mom has a toyota rav 4 my sorento rides way much more smooth and has way more space and better ground clearance
где дели Андрея?
It's made in Georgia, Einstein. In the most technologically advanced auto plant in the world.
Bob Marley? That's awesome
i think the mdx is a bit more capable.....
Those M6s are fucking sexy as hell
35 + g's for a KIA? you can keep it!
Sorento Turbo Diesel 2.2CRDi way better than Fart edge
Ya mon! Everting Erie!
Spelled "coming" wrong at 9:27.. --> coiming
Competed with highlander

no stream.
Sportage is with rav4. C'mon dudes
The rear is an obvious hodgepodge of an Audi (taillights), and Acura MDX (pillar). Front headlamps are obvious Volvo inspired.

nissan pathfinder
why is that guy with the hat always driving
6 Times...
Mucica
Nope.
Could it look any more like a Lexus RX on the front? Nice feature list, but Ill take a more complete package with better build quality, I.e. a used Audi Q5, or even an RX. Bland, forgettable, and characterless. South Koreans have always prided themselves on being fast followers', never innovators. That rings as true as ever with the Sorento
Nissan Murano is a joke...
