[papashuk]

Dude you are the auctioneer of car reviews! The info just flows, great work!

[StarShippCaptain]

Dude! You sure pack a lot of detailed info about this Sorento Hybrid in one Review! Wow, and Well Done!

[timothystafford]

Excellent detailed review! Get a lot of bang for your buck for $50k. Is the 25' Sportage SX Prestige next in line for a review? Keep up the great work!

Thanks for another great review. IMO, it's a great buy for the money.

Thanks for Review. Bought the Prestige HEV. I call it "Peppy!" When you want power that will put you back in your seat, you have it (actually a safety feature: to get out of the way of the Crazies). The Kick is available in city or highway driving. I've enjoyed all the Safety Features. Interior is fabulous. We have the Dusty Blue interior with a Silver exterior: The prettiest light Silver I've ever seen. In some lighting, it looks white. We drive the car with Row 3 down for Cargo space, but Row 3 available when needed. Best of both worlds: seating and cargo. Also surprising is how much of our driving is off the Battery Engine! When I fill it with gas, it projects over 557 miles of driving. We also have appreciated the great AC in summer heat. Got to love that huge Infotainment System. Parking is great with the 360 degree surround view. I can park as exactly as I desire. It is the perfect car for our family (wife and me). KIA knocks it out of the Park with this vehicle. Thanks, KIA!

I'm planning to get a Mercedes GLC, but I really like the looks of this car. How does the ride quality compare? Is it as quiet and comfortable as the GLC? Coz if it is, I'd rather get this one

Our choices came down to the KIA Sportage and the Sorento. We sat in both cars several times. The deciding factor was the feel of the "room" in each. The Sportage definitely had a "close" feeling in both cabin space to the side and also above. It felt a little closed in. On the other hand, the Sorento was SPACIOUS! Wide to the sides, with uplifting head room! Distinctly better for interior space than the Sportage. With the Sorento, we also got the extra Third Row. The two cars are almost the same length (if you line them both up in the parking lot—this stunned me, so I showed the Sales Manager at the dealership, and he was surprised too; he had to check the lengths twice to believe it!) So, if you want a more compact model, go with the gorgeous Sportage. If you want room in cabin, number of seats, and Cargo space, go with the Sorento. Both are Great Cars from KIA! 2025 is a Banner Year!

At 5:30, is there interior ambient lighting? Either in the strip across the ya for or the snake scales by the handle? Would really be nice to do a short night review or night drive.
Maybe I’m the only one but I love me a nice night drive in a high end vehicle.

Thinking about making the purchase so would love to hear your reply and maybe a quick vid

Good review & I will love to buy this one day.

All it’s missing is a Heads-Up Display like the top trim Carnival. Was really hoping it would have it for 2025 but nope.

One thing I learnt from this channel - once you press the rear hatch close button, you need to get out of the way quick, so you don't get doofed in the head. Apparently all cars have this problem.😄

This guy is phenomenal. Definitely getting a like and sub from me

So the question is:
Plug in
Or
Trading hybrid?

The paddle shifters do not control the transmission. They control the regenerative braking.

This vehicles looks more stylish than the Honda CRV touring with all the modern and plush touches.

This review was so detailed and good, I went out and bought the exact same model and color combo! You knew more than 90% of the sales reps I met with. Thanks again, I love the vehicle and so many people have complimeted me on the blue exterior, especially after I had it professionally detailed. Got it brand new from a dealer in MD for $6k+ below msrp, OTD! THANKS AGAIN !!! Super luxurious ride and features. The Lexus version of this is $20k+ more, lol

The Digital Rear View Mirror is stunning. It's Wide View is an impressive safety feature. I always have it selected.
