2026 Kia Sorento

The Kia Sorento is such a cool vibe on the exterior &fits our family of 4 perfectly. I love that we can pick up a couple of my kids friends and not feel squished! For vacation, we sometimes add a turtle roof rack to fit everything we need. This car handles well in snow, and has plenty of cupholders! My kids especially LOVE the huge sunroof. The only downside that I didn't realize when I test drove was that with Kia, the camera POV looking down on your car as you back up or park is a subscription service that is only included for one year. So I'll be sure to ask about what's actually included for life when shopping for my next vehicle. I do love the KIA app, the lock/unlock/start the car schedule you can set - it's all user friendly and accessible. I would buy this car again in a heartbeat.

I’ve had my Kia for five years and have really enjoyed it. I’ve never had any issues with it. I had the base LX model, and honestly, I loved all the basic features. The touchscreen is great, and you don’t need to plug in your phone, which is so convenient. I also really loved the keyless entry I could keep my keys somewhere in my purse and the car would still unlock when I approached it. The drive is amazing. I have two kids, and I had the car when they were in car seats and now with booster seats, and I never had an issue with space or comfort. For me, the third row was perfect because I only used it occasionally for extra pick-ups and drop-offs or when I needed extra trunk space. With two kids, the third row never bothered me. That said, I wouldn’t recommend it for someone with three kids who needs to regularly use the third row. The one thing I really disliked was that it doesn’t have a power liftgate, and there isn’t even a button inside the car to open the trunk. With kids, that was definitely annoying. Overall, it’s a really great car. The main reason I eventually decided to change was the fuel consumption. I wasn’t driving a lot, but it still felt like I was using quite a bit of gas, and that ultimately became the biggest downside for me.

We have loved our Kia Sorento PHEV! Overall we have found it to be incredibly reliable and have great gas mileage. It's comfortable to drive and ride in, has a decent amount of technology features, and handles quite smoothly, espeically in inclement weather. The PHEV has afforded us really great savings in gas and we have found the extra cost for the PHEV model to have been worth it in gas savings over 5 years of ownership. The cons: we did have some battery issues early on that were covered by warranty. The factory installed battery just did not tolerate the cold well, which was problematic in cold winter Canada. After a replacement, the issue has been corrected. We also find the front end safety sensors occasionally beep even when not near anything at the front of the vehicle, which is annoying but doesn't happen often enough to be overly bothersome. I wish the backup sound could be changed from the annoying stock "ding ding", and in reflection I regret the all black interior. It gets so hot and is impossible to keep clean from dust. The 3rd row isn't particularly useable for large people but does fit 2 FF car seats with room to spare, and the 50/50 split is helpful. Overall we have been very satisfied with the purchase and would purchase again!

I LOVE this car! It's serving our family well, yet I'm already getting sad as the years pass that eventually our time together will have to come to an end... This car is so fun to drive (I have the turbo!) and its a good looking car! My passengers are always complimenting the ride (adults - comfort & kids - love the panoramic sunroof!)... I love the controls, the dash setup, the easy to fold 2nd & 3rd row seats. The decent amount of room in the third row, and the trunk space when the 3rd row is folded down are huge pros for us, especially as our kid and family grow!

I've had my Kia Sorento for 4 years now and I LOVE it! I have the Plug-in hybrid which is perfect for my daily commute. I charge every night from my garage (from a regular plug). I drive my daughter to school, go to work and back home it's about 27 miles a day and I'm mainly all electric. I use gas for any trips that are longer so having the 2 motors has been great. I only have one child and have captain chairs which works well for us. Some of the features that I love are the Auto Hold (amazing for carline and sitting in traffic!) and I love the easy-to-use technology of the car. There are enough buttons that it's not all digital. I also love to see the camera on my dashboard when I put my turning signal on, so I don't have to turn my head and check if there's a car next to me. The one thing I don't like about the car is that there are no ceiling vents for the third row. I only have one child so it's fine but if I had to use the third row daily it would be annoying. I think this car is great for a family with 2 kids who want to save money on gas but still have a large car with a good size trunk for everyday use and/or road trips.

Love love love the kia sorento for 2 kids! Lots of room in my second row to fit their car seats (nuna rava) and the leather seats make it easy to clean! Third row is not accessible with carseats in 2nd row, hasn’t been an issue for us because I keep the third row down typically and have a huge trunk that way which i LOVE! Can fit my double stroller plus lots of extra room. 2nd row can’t fit three across so for three kids in carseats, not the most functional but for now, I really love it as a midsize SUV.

Love this car! I've gotten comments that it looks like a range rover in all black. The only two things I hate about it is the middle seat on the second row is useless when you have two car seats installed in the outboard seats because the seat belt overlaps with an outboard seat. And there is no car seat tilt so if you have car seats in the second row outboard seats you're accessing the third row via the trunk.

I owned this car for 2 years before finally giving in and getting a minivan. I absolutely loved the hybrid plug in model and found it to be very user friendly and straight forward. The biggest drawback for me was the cabin space. Second row was ok (but tablets take up space making it difficult to get in and out), but third row was extremely tight. If I only had two kids I would have driven it much longer, but with three kids I have to switch to the mini van for more space.
