"Far out brussel sprout ":D Kia are killing the game. I think the only reason to buy a Euro SUV over this is brand snobbery, this looks very luxury. I think I'll take one for a test drive! Thanks again Matt, honestly the best reviewer out there!
I am comparing this new sorento to the skoda kodiaq and seat tarraco ..i do not think kis is in the same level of solidity and long term reliability as skoda ..
Hey Matt. Good videos mate. Videography is spot on, information is short and concise - just very well rounded reviews. You have a new fellow Aussie subscriber.
Great review Matt. Very informative and entertaining. It was refreshing to see someone review a variant other than the GT Line. Not everyone wants the top of the line model. There weren't many extra have to have things on the GT line for my requirements, so I bought the Sport Plus. I hope to receive it next week. I didn't want the ride compromise of 20" wheels on a SUV and felt the virtual mirrors in the dash more of a distraction than a benefit, present on the GT line. The cooling seats, better leather and panoramic sunroof would have been nice, but I can live without them. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the comment, and great choice! As much as I'd love a GT-Line with the nappa leather and just everything else, the Sport+ is the smarter buy 🙂
The HMG is really on a roll as you said Matt. With the advent of SUVs, families no longer need drive 'old school' Holden/ Falcon sedans or wagons. As for Hyundai or Kia, it's a'toss up'. Thanks again.
Wonder what you think about driving comfort. I have the same tyres on my car and they are very noisy. These Continentals are performance focused, not for a family drive 😄
They're certainly a lot better than the Nexen tires they throw on cheaper cars 😁 Honestly ride for me was totally fine, quiet too. Heaps of tread to soak up bumps, and usually in editing I notice a lot of tire roar in cars but was thinking as I was editing it was quiet for a video of mine 🙂
I've had two Sorentos, a 2011 and a 2017 both Platinum spec. Due to health issues I am no longer able to drive and I had to recently sell the 2017 after having it for three years and only having put 3000 km on it. To say I was sorry to see her go was an understatement. I'm a thirty five year veteran of the Auto trade (the last fifteen selling parts for Kias as well as European marques) so I can probably be considered a bit biased but I wouldn't have shelled out the dollars if I thought they were an inferior car.
Sorry to hear you had to let one go! Hope whatever is wrong is on the mend 🙂 The Sorento is a great value SUV, always has been and probably always will be!
The Sorento looks better than the Santa Fe (both front and back), but the new Mitsubishi Outland is giving the Sorento a pretty decent challenge for looks.
I love this SUV but would wait for the Hybrid version coming to australia in early 2021. The upcoming Hyundai Santa Fe looks ugly in my opinion, the front looks like a whale shark.
So which is the better-looking SUV?! VOTE in the COMMENTS on this post! 💛
VOTE: Kia Sorento
VOTE: Hyundai Santa Fe
Sorento for sure, Santa Fe looks good but... too much!
Sorento but good to see these Korean cars getting better design overhauls
sorento exterior santa fe interior. those air vents just dont do it for me on the sorento. i wouldnt say no to buying a hyundai kia for a family suv

The PHEV version has been promised by Kia. I surely would like to see its review.
Nice video!
If it comes to Aus, I absolutely will review it!
Great review. Couldn't agree more about the value proposition the kia Sorrento in that spec makes.
Yep really good value! And it's great to drive too... Never thought I'd like an SUV so much 🤣
Was unsure about either this or the new Santa Fe. Your reviews on both have led me to choose this one. Have liked and subscribed. Cheers!
I purchased a 21 LX in June, love it.
Great review. Next do the GT version
Thanks!
Fantastic value for money that's 💯. Awesome review as always
Thanks Leon! 🙂
Hahah love the review, you're funny bloke. Subscribe - done!
which to buy a Sorento GT Line DCT or a Carnival Platinum Diesel ???? seriously torn between both, wife like the Carnival, I prefer the AWD Sorento
The HMG is really on a roll as you said Matt. With the advent of SUVs, families no longer need drive 'old school' Holden/ Falcon sedans or wagons. As for Hyundai or Kia, it's a'toss up'. Thanks again.
Exactly right, their lineup from the Picanto to the Stinger are just all great value, great driving cars. Can't beat it!
Great review
Thank you!
@13.52, is that gardenvale 7 -11? Great review.
We are going for a GT

I don’t like seat comfort not padded enough
Regarding solidoty and reliabilty , skoda kodiaq vs kia new sorento ?

Very clean design, i really like it!
Totally agree, really smashed this one out of the park!
Nice review. 100k subs before 2020 ends
I wish! But we'll get there :)
Whatb is the kind of the 8 speed automatic transmission? Is it aisin ?
I don’t think it has seat memory preset in either model ?
Seat comfort needs to be fixed extra padding
Nice review but as a family car u Need to get in the back seats and show some space and other features back there,
Thank you but you haven't watched the review properly, because I did for second and third rows
Would this fit a 6 foot 3 driver ?
Sorry i got distracted but at 3:08 is that 7 eleven fuel station? Haha
Yes! Great eye haha, we do have heaps of them 😁
compare with the santa fe please.
Stay tuned for Jan 2021 🙂
I love this SUV but would wait for the Hybrid version coming to australia in early 2021. The upcoming Hyundai Santa Fe looks ugly in my opinion, the front looks like a whale shark.
Yep santa fe looks hella fugly
hybrid? speakers? soft ride? 360 camera? insulate cabin? leather? pleeeease...to the point...

❤👍KIA👍❤
