@@CarSceneKorea that's great news! Will have to go for a test drive with the refreshed sorento!🎉🎉 Does HDA2 now confidently keep the Sorento centered in its lane even on the most aggressive freeway curves? Thanks!
@@R56Cooper Yes, you won't feel much difference with straight lines compared to HDA1, but corners, turns, exits, HUGE upgrade. Watch my HDA2 highway exit with Santa Fe: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AGiTW5vem94.htmlsi=xnNQDUWPs51XucXn
@@pinny45 Other reviewers have said Hyundai and Kia are noticeably smoother than RAV4 when transitioning from electric to ICE. RAV4 ICE engine is very loud, so you hear when it comes on.
So it looks like the 1.6L hybrids in this and the new Santa Fe have more power than the 1.6L hybrid in the pre-facelift Tucson hybrid, will the facelifted Tucson hybrid also get the power bump?
I love the key fob KIA has been using in their cars. Much more better looking than the ones Hyundai have been using. Hyundai's key fob look cheap and hope they upgrade in the near future.🤞
I wouldn't necessarily say that it's the way how it's supposed to be pronounced, but I do intend on pronouncing Korean brands and names in Korean way :) Thanks for noticing that!
There is PHEV version, not sure when the release date and market will be though. Most likely it will be North American and European markets. Korea never got PHEVs.
I am considering purchasing the Sorento 1.6 HEV 4x2 215 HP (171.5 kW) gasoline model... I drive about 10,000 km per year (I don't reach 15,000). You might obviously ask why I don't opt for other models? The answer is simple, I like this car. I know very well that it weighs as much as a blue whale and that SUVs, according to many, are unattractive. But who cares, I like it. So the question is only about the fuel consumption, which, according to KIA, is around 6.7 liters / 100 km (combined cycle) and the engine power (not sure about the total Nm). Feedback? Has anyone by chance tried or bought it to give an opinion?
What are you curious about? It should not be all that much different except that is a diesel. I mean that is a big difference but the rest is pretty much the same.
@@CarSceneKorea if the rest is exactly the same then that’s fine. I’m getting one soon and was tossing b/w the petrol or diesel. Hybrid is quite pricey
Yes, at least for the domestic Korean market. I've never found a significantly different 3rd row experience when it comes to SUVs. Just an emergency seat for short distance is the verdict I have.
شكرا للمشاهدة! النوافذ الأمامية عبارة عن زجاج صوتي بالفعل، ولا يمكنك قفل السيارة أثناء السير، لقد كان الأمر كذلك منذ بعض الوقت مع سيارات مجموعة هيونداي موتور.
Unfortunately NA gets same 2023 sorento style with 2024 one. No facelift for PHEV. I just checked with local dealer at Ontario , Canada. Also it’s made to order means looking to wait for more than 6 months after ordering it
bruh, try to show us more of the car than you podcasting the review. we love you and what you do but we came for the car. And i agree, i'll take the design of the Sorento over the practicality of the SantaFE
There is a whole video dedicated to showcasing precisely that found in the pinned comment and card. This video focused on the drive and delivering the experience I has test driving it 🤩
