    Great video. Kia and Hyundai have just been killing it for so long. I think people are finally noticing.

    You guys are spot on with your assessment of where this stands. I got the sx xline bc of the mix of not needing a huge suv but still have the capability of 3 row for the few times a year. I couldnt bring myself to get a 2 row suv only. My brother has the telluride but has a larger family so I couldn’t justify getting the same.It really does have great acceleration for an suv ( the turbo lag is there in sport mode but to me it adds to the fun of driving it) and with pretty decent mpg. The side profile really I think stands up to most suvs beside the luxury sports performance tier which is surprising to say for a Sorento. This does the “casual” off road as well with the combined practicality makes this perfect for the person who doesnt the need biggest size but still wants something fun and stylish. I was skeptical about only offering v4 but your not getting this for true performance and competing w the trackhawk, st, srt. For way less and without sacrificing gas mileage you really can’t go wrong with this and of course the warranty is unmatched.

    Love the color combination and the design! The set of four vents in the center remind me of the taillight/bumper/rear fascia of some car from the late 60's or early 70's....

    Todd, If you're going to solve the vent problem you first need to get automakers to bring back the vent under the steering wheel, aka the cool crotch vent.

    I love driving my sorento sx awd. So much fun. It can be subdue or it can be a monster when in sport mode.

    FWIW: Upgraded from a 2014 Nissan Rogue SL AWD to a 2022 Sorento X-Line SX-Prestige AWD (2.5T). Very impressed! Very fun to drive with plenty of power in AWD. Much bigger than our Rogue, FAR more power and tons of useful features. Having gotten used to the Rogue's CVT, driving this car in "Smart Mode" w/DCT is fine - you just have to learn how the car works with its power-band (nice) and YOUR driving style (I have one month in on it). Since we are empty nesters, we leave the 3rd row seats down (or even just part of it) much of the time and it has tons of rear room in that mode. The Sorento has 500lbs more weight over the Rogue but I can't feel it at all. I also got a dealer upgraded power train warranty from 100K miles to 200K miles at no cost. Not a fan of the piano black trim due to the dust and fingerprints. It would be better if it were matte. The 2022 did add memory seats with 4-way lumbar and thigh extender, heated 2nd row seats, a real spare tire and the Canadian models have heads up display, 3rd row rear AC and 2nd row window shades along with additional terrain mode we don't get in the USA. Did have to pay $4K over MSRP due to shortages.

    I don’t know if I need the X model, but that green is gorgeous. How do you feel about underbody and rust coating with this Kia versus a Mazda? We had a Mazda five recently. If you look at the wrong way, it might develop a rust spot.

    Every DCT needs paddle shifters!!! They are so important in smoothly bringing the speed down. And it saves the brakes. I been driving DCT since 2006. Wish the Seltos, Kona and the VW Taos had paddles.

    The main purpose not to move up to a tulliride is the mpg. I just got the hybrid and average at least 34mpg and mostly city driving. That's amazing as the previous ride was a Honda fit. I cannot praise kia enough.

    Suggestion: consider publishing a shorter version of your reviews in addition to the normal length. Having an option for “just the facts” or highlights on vehicles with lower interest would be helpful. It could also increase your watch hours.

    That triangular shark fin behind the rear door serves no function and in fact restricts visibility. Style over substance, something which Euro carmaker say VW will not do. In short euro design is stil better than Korean.
