Design refresh and tech update for 2024! Thank you to Ciocca Kia for allowing the channel access to this vehicle for review. Ciocca Kia 1710 N. Olden Ave. Ewing, NJ 08638 (609) 883-2800 Ask for Frank Barrientos
Thanks to you bought one for my wife. It's amazing. Power isn't there but she won't be drag racing. Smooth handling, nice tech, solid leather seats. Kia is doing something right
This revised Sorento may well be the best looking vehicle in its class. I would avoid the panoramic sunroof, awd and, if possible, the third row seating. Like the low profile dash configuration. I think the 2.5L/8 spd. trans. is plenty, esp. w/o the sunroof, awd, etc. "baggage". Hyunda/Kia group is really upping their game! Price with those possible mentioned deletions would also be more manageable for real world budgets. Wolf Grey is nice..imagine it with a very muted darker red interior. This would be a logical step up from a Sportage or Tucson which I think are mostly enough for anyone. Very good review, as always! .
I agree with you except for the AWD (because I live in Michigan lol). I would avoid the sunroof for the weight savings/reliability (exploding sunroofs/cost savings). Also, I would stay away from the 2.5T engine with the dual clutch transmission. They’ve had reliability issues with the engine… The base engine will be slow, but you don’t buy this kinda car because it’s fast. You buy it because it’s practical! Very nice upgrade for 2024.
I have driven Toyota, Honda, Acura, Nissan. And one day I decided to try with KIA, I bought a 2022 KIA FORTE. It's AMAZING, it changed my mind about KIA, it’s very nice!
