I've never been a Kia fan, but since I saw the new model of the Sorento and the space that even the 5 seats have is just incredible! It drives smoother than the Santa Fe Sport. The LX also have the Normal and Sport mode, not only Eco, plus you can drive it shifting, so even the 2.4GDI is powerful with 185hp! I reviewed A LOT of cars this past 6 months, and after thinking very well, I just got mine today! One advice, always ask for the oldest car in the inventory! The car that has more months in the parking lot, can be up to $1500 less! So I can tell you so far so good! Price was $30,265 all included, as shown in this video!
Good review. I have had my 2016 Sorento LX W/convenience pkg for a year now and am fairly pleased with it. The addition of the larger touch screen and dual zone climate controls for 2017 is a plus. I find the 4 cyl GDI engine to be adequate although I find myself manually shifting the car for some added zip. When the Sport mode setting is on, the shift points are different which will also give you a bit more zip. I agree with the buzzy engine comment and I think the cabin needs to be more quiet especially at highway speeds. Previous I had a 2011 Sorento which served me well.
I have the base model 2016 which is basically the same as the 2017 and the power is good for me. I think their is too much of a tendency now for aggressive driving and if you want that you do need a V6. I had a 2012 before in the base trim and the power improvements are noticeable between 2012 and 2016/17 as thee power is in the lower range. The base vehicle more competes with a Rav 4 and Honda CRV for 2 rows. I am in Canada and there is no 2.4L with 3 rows. My trim only has the 2 rows. 3 Rows should be paired with a V6. Usually 4 cyl. engines are more whinny in most vehicles anyways.
Have you experienced any problems due to the fact that the motor might be too small for the weight of the vehicle? Also, does this version have 5 or 7 seats?
wow nice review cam! I like how you changed locations it seems much more quiet. It sound like this car doesn't have power and also this car isn't that much of sports like you said but everyday use like a family then it's perfect because it's not like parents will be going 100 mph lol good review #1supporter #1fan #bestcarreviewer
Wow the base model (I know it's not the "base" model, but it's still a "base" model) has come a long way since I rented one back in 2014, and I thought that was a great vehicle! (:
What kia did for car with this kind of key that can easily be turn on with an usb or screwdriver is the 2017 kia sorento 2.4 easy to steal or the problem has been fixed? How can i make the sorento more secure.
Is there a reason you don’t fold down the seats to see the cargo space snd if the seats fold flat or not?? Why don’t review people do this like almost ever? Why is it not a thing??
I like it but that dashboard looks busy!! Lol. They gotta clean it up a little bit and combine some of that stuff. But still a REALLY nice car. And you get so much for so little
I have an LX but mine has the package with the leather/heated seats and remote start. Definitely nice to have. I'm very happy with mine so far.

Great Review Cameron. This is a nice vehicle. I feel the sweet spot in the Sorrento line is the EX Model.

I've had mine a week and love it
I just got one! Gonna pick it up in a few hours. Im glad you're loving yours.
Did you guys suffer any problems? How did you guys like it?
@@remokim5066 still running great. It's been 4years.
Do you still have it? Would you recommend it?@@roxiemamabear

I love my 2018 Sorento. The 4 gdi is very capable, and is decent on gas besides giving you power when you need it.
So no hesitation or lack of power if you have 4 passengers?
JJD It has sport mode, and it’s quick.
@@4rcgv nice just found one in houston for 21k
JJD You’re going to love it. Awesome suv.
@@sschevmale24 I have one 2016 lx base model, no lack of power with four passengers
This SUV with a smaller engine is not intended for big pulling power and it's for relaxed driving. this vehicle gives a larger than average interior.
The V6 is actually quieter. The modes are noticeable, but there is a big difference when in Sport mode.
Have you experienced any problems due to the fact that the motor might be too small for the weight of the vehicle? Also, does this version have 5 or 7 seats?
Jorge Osvaldo Montes Ramirez 7 seats

Good review!!
Just bought this yesterday
Still love it?
Still love it?
He sounds like Napoleon Dynamites brother
Driving modes loosen and tighten the steering wheel. On a high end sports cars driving modes changes engine performance.
TheShamrockgrfx should get the V6 and drive it in sport mode, the v4 is nothing
@@baloney_sandwich There's no v4 XDD
Fantastic review.
Back up camera on this model? Is the type of key a risk for theft still. Or problem has been permanent recalled and fixed ?
I think the KIA Boyz are still getting this car
Awesome! My main question was whether or not the 4 cylinder is powerful enough. You just saved us $15k! Thanks brother.
The 4 cylinder is more than enough....
4 cylinders it’s very bad I have mine very bad.
Wow the base model (I know it's not the "base" model, but it's still a "base" model) has come a long way since I rented one back in 2014, and I thought that was a great vehicle! (:

Get the push button start
Nobody pointing out that the video stopped early?
Harzman01 just watched this and thought they took a timeout for ads! How can you review a SUV off of half a video!
Does this have air vents in the back? Or the second row???
Great review bro. But is that a resistive touch screen?
Just bought One I ❤it
They fixed the heated seat controls. Yay I was so OCD about that
How is the gasoline consumption?
@Camerons Car Reviews

Is there a reason you don’t fold down the seats to see the cargo space snd if the seats fold flat or not?? Why don’t review people do this like almost ever? Why is it not a thing??
The seats do fold flat
I have one I don't like the steering wheel too much stuff on it I miss my 15' Sorento 😩
I like it but that dashboard looks busy!! Lol. They gotta clean it up a little bit and combine some of that stuff. But still a REALLY nice car. And you get so much for so little
Great review! Is there a 5 seat version like the Santa Fe?
Kr0z Ir0nfang yes, all V6 models are 7 seats
Yes. I have the 2018 4 cyl lx and and it has a third row.
not liking the foot brake. hated the Ford for taking away that valuable foot space.
Very new beautiful basic sport cx9

My mom has a Sorento and the Sorento is faster but more quite
Looks outdated. (no offence)
Your tone is always "Doom and Gloom" sad.
Is this about his tone or the vehicle?
