EXCELLENT! 2021 Kia Sorento TURBO Review 

Shopping for a new car? There's a discount when using The Straight Pipes link tsp.truecar.com

Kia's designs in this generation have been so on point. Literally every design - k5, Sorento, Telluride, Stinger. I'd argue the best design in this price range.

Kia is straight up nailing all of their designs.

I can’t BELIEVE how good this Kia looks

Man the Hyundai group has really stepped their game up. This would be perfect for my mom.

The Kia and Hyundai products for the last four or five years have really been amazing. Good quality good performance and rank well with the Japanese products.It's good to see them constantly upgrading their vehicles and their electric vehicles coming out will be very compelling. The Hyundai group are the leaders of styling now.

2017 Sorento SX owner here, love that car. The 2021 model looks great!

Always fully loaded. I'm the type of person that would feel like I'm missing out in so much if I had a base model and had blank buttons 🤣

You guys are amazing and definitely found the sweet spot in car reviews! I’m current with your new videos, but working my way backwards in time on the ones I haven’t seen yet.

The stuff from Kia and Hyundai have some of the best DRLs and tail lights in the game now!

Kia has been making me want all their models lately when I don’t even need any of them 😭

Thanks for the review. Bought 2022 Sorento SX, just got it couple weeks ago. Your review was helpful in making the decision.

My grandpa just bought this car it’s amazing love to see it in the channel 🙌🏽

driving experience wise, I love Kia. My 2011 sportage is still in very good looking and functions very well, driving other brands before, but I am in love with Kia now. A low cost maintenance in Kia is a big plus for me.

1:39 That luggage at the boot though. Weeeeeee

2004 Kia Sorento was the first vehicle I owned. I loved that thing. The rear wheel drive was so much fun and the 4WD was great in the winter. I wish I never got rid of it

YES! I have been waiting for this review!

A huge change with these 2021 Hyundai and Kias are the new 2.5 turbo and non turbo engines now have Multi-Port Injection as well which solves the issue of carbon build up and burning through oil (eventually setting fire to the engine) that older models had. This is huge and makes these cars much more reliable. I'm not sure what other brand still has Port Injection besides Toyota. That's a huge reason Toyota's are still super reliable.

Love when you review 'normal' cars like this!

I just recently picked up the SX and I LOVE my new Sorento. It literally checks every box for me. It has space for my two kids and small dogs, plenty of power to be a good replacement for my old Civic SI. It has really great handling for bad roads. And if I want to take it off road I can down size the rims to 17" and slap some thicker rubbers on them. But for now this vehicle does everything I need an SUV to do.

I'm looking for something new, something with some practicality... this may just be what Im looking for. Thanks for the review.

My dad actually works in Kia motors here...and he really said this one was gonna create gr8 sales here in Kuwait😁👍

Thank you for the 360 camera!! Even Subaru can’t get 360 cam in the Ascent. Kia/Hyundai for the win!

Just purchased the 2021 prestige edition Sorento in the aruba green color and wow!!!! I LOVE THIS THING!!! Handles amazing. It really grips the road. All the technology features are very helpful. But my favorite thing about this suv is it’s just plain SHARP inside and out! I highly recommend this new updated Sorento from Kia

Love the review as usual. Bought my Kia Stinger because of you guys reviewing it when it came out. Kia is killing it now!!!

that 'camera flash' for shifting was funny af lmao

The ecu potential with this powertrain will truly be insane. Easily could see 320-350 hp from a reflash along with programable launch control!

Your intro music.. Always on point! I really enjoy it. And yeah your reviews are awesome!!

Just got 2021 KS, w/ all the bells and whistles, very happy so far, Looks great in white!

I compared Sorento to the Telluride and I changed my mine! Sorento is more sporty design and offers more engine options. Smaller, easier to park and drive...

Audibly said "whoa" to that startup animation between the screens... and im a design skeptic/snob. Very well done

Just bought a 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited AWD. Absolutely love it. Good power, very smooth quiet ride, and the interior is gorgeous. It feels like a lot more expensive car. I never thought I would buy a Hyundai. 😎

I love this channel

Kia is my favorite car brand these days, and I never thought I would ever say that

I love your Winter reviews

The back end is gorgeous and so is the color

I’m surprised it’s under 50k Canadian with all those options and the blue paint. Not bad at all!

The front end looks a lot like the Explorer.. These things are an excellent value.

Great video! "Brake boosting!" How many people today even know of the concept, let alone the process? It's great to see young guys who understand cars from before EFI, GDI, and variable valve timing. Boosting worked great from a standing stop when we were driving lead sleds like the '76 Pontiac LeMans with a 400 C.I.D. engine and a four barrel carburetor. In a turbo 4 cylinder with a dual clutch transmission it becomes somewhat extraneous. I have to say the DCT is amazing. The first DCT I drove was a BMW. It shifted beautifully and even 'blipped' the throttle as it downshifted into a turn. Longevity, or the lack thereof, was the killer for BMW's DCT. With the wet clutch DCT Kia and Hyundai may have come a long way to solving that issue. I hope it's a winner.

It's a damn nice job! Looks great, definitely would buy one!

Mom's been needing a new vehicle in place of the aging and ever so unreliable town and country, this is one of those vehicles I'd be happy to see her with, great bang for buck! My only wish is that it had a V6 instead of a 4 banger.

In the US, Kia makes the X-line package mandatory on the top trim if you want AWD.

I had a 2004 Sorento.. at that point when you told people what you drive they would ask "a KIA?!?" - It was a great truck, was body on frame, rear/4wd with 4 low and limited slip diff.. and it was a 5 speed manual! (I think it was the Sport).. I had it for 5 years with zero problems. I had the first-gen Soul, too. I would have gotten a Telluride but it came out 2 weeks after I got my Durango..

It’s not a bad price at all with all the features in it I but since it’s in the same price category as the telluride I would take the telluride for more space I love the fact you called the peasant blockers baby shades as you guys are having kids now you will probably change the way you look at vehicles now very cool and again congrats on everything goin on with guys 2021 is shaping up to be a good year for you both

Don’t hurt your neck on that intro, Yuri! 😂😂

Finally they did a review of this car. It’s awesome 😃

Hey, fan of the channel! Jakob and Yuri you guys could start including shots of the engines of the vehicles. I notice you don't include them, could be nice for quick additional shots!

I'm a toyota/lexus guy but my friend and my parents have a Kia from recent years and they are killing it

Kia definitely making big moves!

If only they’d make the Sportage look as sharp as their other models

I think Hyundai / Kia / Genesis have been killing it over the past 2~3 years. Genesis is set to rocket with their SUVs finally reaching local shores soon. Simply amazing designs, tech, quality, warranty, etc. Well done

They are killing it. The new sorento and telluride are my favorite suv. The k5 gt is going to be my next purchase really soon.

Looks like the much like a new gen Ford Explorer, and I won't complain about it. Love everything about the looks on this far more tho

This actually was one of the cars I considered, next to the Telluride, before settling on the 2021 Durango Hellcat lol I do like the direction Kia has gone lately.

With all the up level stuff you've been testing lately I was afraid you would become too fancy to appreciate the normal stuff. Glad to see you both had fun. Kia is killing it! Stinger is still their best vehicle though whether it sells or not. BTW, that old Sorento you mocked had a low range. I probably like the Telluride more but for my needs I'd choose the loaded Sorento over the base Telluride.

13:09 I love the commitment to refuse to change the sequence until you actually got those peasant blockers up because you could've definitely gave up.. But you didn't. I like that.

I’m a car salesmen and I gotta say Joe’s walk arounds of these vehicle are extremely helpful for getting to know the competition.

KIA/Hyundai are slaying the game lately. Great review guys 🤙🏻

I just traded last week my 2018 Civic Si for a 2021 Sorento SX Prestige X-Line and man let me tell you, I am loving it. This SUV is an amazing vehicle, even my kids love the fact that I went from a low profile car to an SUV. The handling, the interior, the comfort, the USB's in the back chairs, in fact, everything is so perfect in this SUV. I highly recommend it for anybody that is looking to have an amazing experience!

Kia's design language is SO GOOD lately. All their vehicles that have been redesigned have been knocked out of the park.

Don't forget bicycle tires. Continental makes great bicycle tires...

8:43 wait a second, those are nixie tubes used to display your radio station. I kinda like that actually lmao

8:45 nixie tube imitation is such a nice touch, love it! Save the tubes!!

Love it I just got one but I had to go with the Xline and also thought about the telluride but this one works fine for my family. ✌️

Jakob is right, huge benefit of being tall is having permanent shotgun

Below the X-Line trim they strip out all the features that would compel someone to buy outside of fleet sales.

Guys, all the time you are going through the serpentine. Please rotate the location from time to time, so it is more interesting to watch please. All the best! Today is my bday! Салам Юра! Watching you every time! Big like! Enjoy your work! Try cars that you like, not the ones that’s popular, then we will get your true emotions!!

Great review! You guys deserve a commission, because I ended up getting the X Line in Aruba Green. Same engine as the SX. Gotta give you guys props for nailing the review - I agree with almost all points except for ONE THING 🤭 The one thing I do not agree with is that it’s unnecessary to drive this in sport. I’ve had 200 miles to drive it and I swear that the sport noticeably reduces the impact of the turbo lag - it’s just generally more fun to drive around and the pickup is decently quicker. I didn’t buy this car to whip around - but coming from a GTI, it’s so nice to still be able to tap into quickness when I get an itch, even if it’s not the same. My one gripe are the captains chairs. We have one dog and no kids - dog cannot sit in the captains chairs or jump into the car from the passenger doors when the chairs are folded down. So he has to chill in the trunk, which is fine, but not what he’s used to. First world problems!

theyve come along way from when i was growing up

You catfished us with the DRL‘s in the thumbnail.

Getting mine this friday!

Kia is blowing the competition out of the water in pretty much every category that people care about. Price, looks, features... I don't understand how other manufacturers can't do what Kia is doing.

KIA does it again

I really like that thing.

Awesome review as usual! But no mention of the side cameras showing temp video in the gauge clusters when using the blinkers?

Not a baby Telluride at all. Kia stayed true to the sorento & kept its rugged edges and brought back the raised chassis from 2011-2015 models. I love it.

Do dodge durango srt 2021 review please

I own a 2003 Kia Sorento. And still driving it in 2021. The new Sorento look great . I also own two Lexus . Rx 350 and Gs 350 . But I love driving my Kia. Little by little they are steeping up with their technology. Good job KIA. 👍

Great review

" Brake boost it again so we can show this Awesomeness from Kia "

Beautiful beast, I have a 2014 model and planning to replace with this

Really excited for the 2022 Sedona seeing the reviews of the 2021 carnival/Sedona overseas!!

Ooh the lighting in that long intro shot

looks nice

Kias are slowly becoming super good forthe value but where are the orange drls :(

The box sliding around the back seat the whole time XD

Kia and Hyundai have been making some really good looking cars recently.

Nothing like watching two dudes that look like us, explaining shit that we love

This trim doesn't have the fancy lane watch camera for a visual on blind spots?

4:11 - yea, because a tire inflation kit instead of a spare tire is ALWAYS a great idea ... especially when your sidewall is blown out ... really handy then.

Kia has a very precise design language for their lineup. Clean lines and not fussy.

When the teacher tells me to write a hook: EXCELLENT!

Right now Kia/Hyundai/Genesis are my favorite car manufacturer in design, style and power train... Honda and Toyota are slacking big time

I was an intern for Kia when they came out with the new sorento and I have to say they did pretty well. I also got to work on both the K5 and so it was awesome to that people like the new design! I myself like the new design better now

Maybe in 5 years when I pay off my grand Cherokee. I never buy new but I was tempted by this one and the telluride. Kia/Hyundai has really stepped up their game

Best looking affordable suv atm

No channel I know of loves their sponsor(s) like you guys. Whatever they're paying you, they're getting a deal. :-)

Really want to see you guys review the Sorento hybrid. To me at this price point, choosing between the non-hybrid Sorento and the Telluride is a no brainer for the Telluride. But when you throw 37 mpg into the mix it becomes a more interesting comparison, but the hybrid and non-hybrid Sorento models are very differently equipped. Would love to see you guys compare the two.

The four center vents look like a X-Wing Fighter from Star Wars. Cool!! Kia/Hyundai are really stepping their game up lately.👌🏽

1:40 the luggage said "I'ma test out the right seat, guys"
