Feels more expensive than it costs

Kia calls it a crossover. to me it feels more like a midsized SUV. I love how it has options. the sorento sx seats 7, even though I only need it to seat 5. lots of room. all the amenities of a really expensive car without the expensive price. I like racing it around, even to get to sams club to put gas. the sorento has real presence on the road. its noticeable. the design is very stylish. no problems with it since I got it. great commuter vehicle. better than my 15 year old Nissan that eats catalytic converters...

Great car, great value

Very comfortable car to drive, the 2.4 ltr 4 cylinder at 191 hp is plenty of get up and go. Many interior creature comforts and gadgets that are easy to set up. Overall the Serento is a solid ride and great value.

Great Car for the Money!

It is quiet, stylish, clean lines, good size, design is well thought out, love the 3rd row fold down seats! Smart interior cup holders in the door pockets, love the blue tooth, aux. and USB ports in the car. The front seat middle console open area has a second layer compartment like to hide a phone, etc. The front seat console in the middle of the car that opens is deep and has a smartly designed tray for CD's. Like the configuration better that my prior Lexus RX SUV.

Great second car!

The Kia Sorento V6 EX that I bought as a second vehicle is awesome! Roomy, truck space is awesome, even the music system sounds great!

reasonably priced, many safety features

We bought this car for our teen daughter first car. Safety, gas mileage great for larger size model, versatility and style met her requirements and ours as parents. Low maintenance cost and extremely reliable.

Great car for the money!

My daughter and I shopped for cars from Oct. to June and settled on the KIA Sorento EX V6. Best car and mileage for our budget and a lot of nice features! Rides and looks great!

Good gas mileage for an SUV

I always want an SUV and know what i like . I know the bigger vehicle you get the mileage is an issue but i was wrong because my Sorento actually gets a really good mileage a nbbd that's a plus for me since i have a long drive to work.

Best overall value for the money. Reliable.

This car has excellent gas mileage, dependability, and styling one would want in a crossover type of vehicle for the money.
