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.

Thanks for the detailed video! What is your pair of sunglasses by the way? Looks cool ::D
Which model is tested here?
Great video I’ve ever seen. It is really helpful to get the right car for me.
more about the vehicle how did it fell were the seats driving in the rain
Loving the blog style. been shopping for a new SUV and you’re my first stop for reviews. thanks so much!!
Very informative! Thanks. Upgrading my old Sorento and the new Platinum is on the short list along with the Prado and Pajero. Tricky decision, but you’ve shown me aspect of the Sorento I didn’t know. 😉
Awesome vids Dave, Been debating a 2017 2.4 AWD Santa Fe and a 3.3 6cy Sorento. Back and forth no idea. Do lots of commuting, Santa Fe seems most prudent choice but heard the are shaky on rougher roads, which I travel a lot.
like the travel blog, need to do the kia optima hybrid or hyundai sonata hybrid. go hwy 2. 🙂
nice car. so what the name of this great song 🙂 thank at 08:05
super video
Your videos are great, probably my favorites. Would like to hear recap of cabin noise, comfort, overall general handling of the vehicle while on the long drive. Keep up the great work!
La mejor review que he visto de Kia Sorento, Saludos y Adios!
Thanks for the video. It appears the highway gas mileage stinks, which is very disappointing. I’ll be retiring soon and I’m looking to buy something new that will be great for long road trips, but gets closer to 30 mpg highway. I guess I’ll be crossing the Sorento off my list of possibilities. I’ll bet I could get better highway mpg with a new Ford Mustang GT or a BMW M235.
Hope you’re not drinking 5 hour energy drinks also with all of those Starbucks stops.
please continue with the road trips!
More like these please, great quality.
For fuel economy run, should’ve had it in Eco mode instead of Normal.
love the road trip video.. just wish you would of taken your pet! 🙂
Road trip is a good format for car review. In particular for vehicle that is built for road trip… keep it up.
These mpg videos are extremely helpful for me and others since the estimated mpg which car manufactures claim aren’t always the most accurate.
I love Portland OR
How was the comfort level with the seat after being in it for so long?
Do more road trips!!
Bueno video ole amigo mio gracias por tu aportación.desde ESPAÑA mil gracias.
do more road trip video’s
More of this…it is more reflective of what makes us love or dislike a car.
no heads up display?
Felt like I was in the SUV with you. I would like to see more like that
Very cool video. keep on it! road trips vids, i really like! Thank you!
Dave, I love this style of video blogging. Sorry it took me so long; I had meant to say that the first day you posted this video. Please keep up the good work.
Great video I appreciate the details. I would have liked more info on the interior size of the vehicle such as 3rd seat option? Im looking at this for a rental car in Costa Rica but needed to make sure there will be room for all of us and the luggage. Keep it up!
Enjoyed your reviews. A pity the Sorento in Singapore aren’t up to spec!
I really like these style of videos, very entertaining
This video is both making me regret leaving Washington and making me want to buy this vehicle.
This is the best style because it’s different than every other car reviews.
Great video, is v6 o 2.0 ?
Is this the new house? If so, I’m digging the new neighborhood. Looks much more established, matured, and woodsy.
Good video but for a road trip what about factors like seat comfort, ventilation, ease of use of controls etc,the small details that seldom get mentioned.
definitely do another road trip again. why? because unlike other reviewers, they talk about mpg based off on the paper but your review is actually the real thing. you put it to the test and its what make your review unique from other. probably go over the car more (idk if you did that on your other video) but great video amd sexy looking sorento
Love it. Not boring, do some more!
Absolutely like this. Some drone shots would be nice too.
Like your videos, but add some car specifications bit more… Thanks Dave
Love the road trip video. Was stationed in Washington back in my army days.
