The 2024 KIA Sorento X-Pro Is a Solid Family Hauler BUT Without The Spicy Sauce! 

LMAO GOOD ONE HAHA

🥱

Been improved a lot??? I say since they were at the bottom of the pack in reliability is not saying a whole lot. My Sorento bass had all kinds of electrical issues, bulbs would burn out every month, valve cover gasket leaked and replaced 3 times and don't even get me started about the windshield gasket. Never again will I buy either a Kia or Hyundai product.

@@theglowcloud2215 They do use more bulbs than most vehicles. The rest is as good as Honda and Toyota.

Biggest issue with self inflicted. 7,500 mile oil change recommendation. In the later years they reduced the mileage recommendation. Even with the warranty replacement engines, the mileage between oil changes was shortened. Who would have ever thought that more frequent oil changes will result in longer engine life. If only I studied more in school?🤣

i know someone who loves the Sportage so much he had 7 of them at the same time at one point. i thought he was a nutcase or just rich but he swears by those cars. i still see him drive the first one around

No, he doesn't. The Santa Cruz he has doesn't have this 2.5T engine.

Two separate classes bub.

lmfao not even close

@@GeoBob-xf3hh We will agree to disagree. We work on every manufacturer, all week long. I know what we see out there and how they are made.

I will also agree to disagree. We see most four cylinder Toyota 2.4 burning oil, the newer Tacoma also burns oil. Honda with their transmission issues. Not one manufacturer is in a class by themselves. They all have issues. Most are because they follow the manufacturers maintenance schedule. When maintained correctly, about twice as often then what the manufacturers tells you. You should have a very long life with your vehicle.

That's how they get ya. Then, bam! Engine or/and transmission replacement.

Get your eyes checked lmao

Yup that how Toyota gets y’all with garbage vehicles and i have 20 20 vision my guy. FYI Toyota 🐑 Its a Toyota………. Japanese transport officials raided a Toyota-affiliated plant Tuesday after the company admitted to cheating on engine testing, as Toyota Motor Corp. reported it sold over 11 million vehicles in 2023 to retain its status as the world’s top car manufacturer. Hours after the probe began at Toyota Industries Corp.’s plant in Hekinan, Aichi Prefecture, central Japan, Toyota Chair Akio Toyoda vowed to steer the company out of scandal and ensure the Japanese automaker’s group companies stick to “making good cars.” “My job is to steer the way for where the overall group should go,” Toyoda said. An investigation including third-party experts found 174 cases of faked tests affecting dozens of models, including cars sold under the Toyota Motor Corp. nameplate. The review found that cheating went back 30 years. The scandal began after a whistleblower came forward in April last year.

@@dioralcide8490 dude! You can like any brand of car you want. Your choice. Why'd you bring the corpo into it? People are fans of Toyota reliability. Fact. But Toyotas are outdated. Also fact. You love Hyundai/Kia for their looks. Fact. The other guy doesn't. Fact. Hyundai/Kia aren't known for their mechanical reliability. Also fact. Stop with the weird corpo dick-sucking my man. Have some dignity like a man should. No corpo is your friend. I could google and bring up loads more cheating/scandal for Hyundai/Kia but I won't. Cause I don't suck corpo dick.

Nothing for Kia or Hyundai is truly for off-road.

Yep. Just watch I Do Cars tear down a failed Kia/Hyundai engine.

Yep and the buying experience from a Hyundai/Kia dealer is a nightmare at least in Illinois. I’ve walked out of many Hyundai/Kia dealerships because they were horrible!!!

So wrong. As if this has a Theta II engine.

@@gregkramer5588 Still all junk

@@gregkramer5588 They are all junk

I just sat in every car in the class since I was looking to purchase something in this range. This Sorento is way beyond the Japanese competitors in this category in terms of quality. It's not even close. Go sit in one and tell me I'm wrong.

I'll give you points for noticing that Japanese branded automakers are getting too complacent and Kia/Hyundai aware quickly stepping up their gamer but let's be realistic. They still are leaving owners frustrated with transmission and engine problems white the Honda, Toyota, Mazdas and Subaru owners pass them by on the shoulder of the road. I will never buy another Kia/Hyundai product again. The ride was great in my Sorento when it would run but all of the problems I had(and judging by the dealership's waiting room I gather I'm not the only person with a broken down Kia that has a nice interior) I would rather be in a less upscaled interior Japanese vehicle that has way better engine/transmissions than to be taking a Kia/Hyundai dealership's service department waiting room chair for a test drive.

colors* color*

@@GeoBob-xf3hh Colour is a property of light. In American English, the name is "color" without the "u." In Commonwealth English, it is "colour" with the "u."

Oh for sure. That’s why Roman just said in this vehicle he wouldn’t spend $50k on this vehicle and that Nathan said he would rent it but wouldn’t lease or buy it. I mean did you even watch the video?

@@watchreport Nope. It is yet another KIA/Hyundai SUV video and I'm not interested in either one. They need to move one to more interesting content. Have they ever talked about the GR86 or GR Corolla? What about the future Miata? What about the Volvo Polestar V60 Polestar? KIA/Hyundai are just too unreliable and there are enough SUV videos already.

@@dbajonr Every car you mentioned, we've tested - or we're going to test them. That's why we have eight channels. Hyundai and Kia build a lot of cars, so does Toyota - and some people have the same complaint about Toyotas. Bottom line: we have to test them all.

The new Santa Fe costs even more. Apparently, you haven't been car shopping lately. That's the price of your average car these day. In fact, a Toyota RAV4 Prime is 50k, and that's the current model. Its due for a refresh 4th quarter 2024.

the 4Runner is a piece of junk on the road P.S. you can keep it for off roading for sure 😂

If this is so, then why are there so many of them on the road?

@@guesswhatprofilecause they cheap economy

@@guesswhatprofileask him again, people just ignorantly spread false news they have no idea of. I have one for 10yrs now, only oil change/ tires with 130K miles , zero issues

"Junk" Would be much better for this brand

This comment about cars is spicy.
