The 2016 Kia Sorento builds on everything we already like about Kia’s midsize crossover SUV. The new Sorento is bigger, but not so much so that it sacrifices the old Sorento’s maneuverability. The 2016 Sorento also has more high-tech features, offering things like adaptive cruise control, an all-around-view camera, and Siri Eyes Free for your iPhone. You have a new engine to choose from, a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that splits the difference in performance and fuel economy between the standard 2.4-liter 4-cylinder and the upgrade 3.3-liter V6 engine. The styling inside and out is sharp and spot-on, and the driving experience is also markedly improved. We’ll put it this way: If you liked the old Sorento, you’ll love this new one. New Sorento buyers have a choice of engines, but it gets complicated. Standard in L and LX models is a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder offering up 185 horsepower, 178 lb-ft of torque, and the best fuel economy – 29 mpg on the highway. The standard engine in EX and Limited Sorento SUVs is the new 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, with 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.

Dude you definitely did NOT skip leg day LOL
#leggoals
#askeverymandriver dave when will you start going through some of the ponds again that was the best?
Hey Dave, SInce you did the same drive on the Honda Pilot. Which is better Off-roading? Pilot or Sorento?
thank you so much! I have been waiting for a video like this one. I really like the Sorento!
in T&T there is an option for a 2.4L turbo diesel.
The Sorento is a good looking CUV rear end somewhat look like the Toyota Highlander it’s LED taillights but overall better CUV from Kia.
You teased Mudfest with Sorento, but don’t see a video of it.
the kia sorento is the only decent looking kia, i just can’t see me getting a car with a kia badge though, just can’t do it. honestly i will get a toyota sienna before getting this just because it has a kia badge. maybe kia can change their name and maybe come around in a few years.
Thanks for the videos, very informative and great quality. One thing about the off-road tests, you should make a comment about the stock tires on the vehicle, and how well they grip (or don’t). Also, the road trip video with the Sorento was very well made too. Gives a good impression of the real-word use for many of the more advanced features of the vehicle.
Do a Toyota Highlander off road video
Damn, your legs…
you got the horsepower and torque figures reversed but informative review
Nice video. Gives the feel of being there. Very relaxed, but informative presentation.
Great off-raod review.
Kia and Hyundai are doing so well with their lineup. Most of their vehicles looks luxurious and affordable making best bang for the buck.
How much do you squat Dave ?
First instrumental name plz
I thought that was an acura
its 240 hp not 260,thats torque
Although I wanted the Hyundai Santa Fe and still kind of do, I opted for a Kia Sorento. I have a 2013 LX AWD 4 cyl. While it is, so far, miles more reliable than the Jeep Liberty I traded in, the 4 cylinder engine’s 175 HP leaves a lot to be desired. My initial thoughts were that it was adequate for acceleration but as time goes on driving the car it’s kind of a chore when passing and merging onto the highway. I have been thinking about test driving a V6 Sorento.
I originally thought this 2016 revamp was hideous and definitely looked too much like a minivan without the sliding doors. Though seeing this off road review has slightly altered my views and may actually grew on me LOL. As usual a very good and well thought out review.
Honestly I’m not feeling the off road reviews anymore. There’s is a good chance that the people who buy these SUVs won’t be using them off road. Can you do more real life driving? Like regular city traffic and then some highway miles as well instead of every other review an off road review
so much slip 8:45….
When your talking ground clearance of these vehicles ? How come you never talk about Subaru Outback and the Forrester ground Clearance ? It’s right up there with Kia , Dodge , Volvo, Hyundai. Have you done a test on the 2016 SUBARU’S ??
Can you try it in regular mode (without any offroad features turned on), then try it again with all offroad feature enabled in future offroad videos?
Where is this park?
I actually bought a sorento v6 awd 2 months ago, took it to an ORV Park here in northern California and it did 10/10 I was very happy with the way it performed, climbed about 25 hills,a ton of terrain types ,no issues. had some problems with clearance but the awd system is brilliant.
WORST test-drive ever!!! All you did was stay flat and drive in circles…. What can this VAN do??? Yes it is an AWD VAN!! Not a SUV.. Put some real-tires on it and see what this VAN can do!!!
It would have been better if you tested the v6.
I love the Gauntlet portion.
I was just going to ask when you are going back to the 4 cam setup.
