The BEST three-row midsize crossover? | 2022 Kia Sorento Review

Kia adds another terrific three-row to its lineup with the 2022 Sorento

There are a lot of reasons to love the 2022 Kia Sorento. If you live where the snow falls, the standard heated wing mirrors are one such example. What else is great? How about the styling, the available features, the powertrain, and the price? This Sorento SX-Prestige lives at the top of the trim ladder, but it costs thousands less than many of its competitors. See what Matt Smith loves (and doesn't love) in this week's video review.

It's hard to find someone reviewing cars willing to point out the little negatives and be realistic covering all good and bad. Have humor. Have fairness. Cover little often missed details. You did it all. Great job!

Just got back from renting this bad boy. Loved every second of it! AWD and great intuitive controls. Factor in the warranty and you got a winner. Drove smooth had plenty of room on the inside for four six foot adults.

My wife has this exact spec. It's nice highly recommend.

When you factor in Kia's warranty, nothing else compares.

[EXEON]

Keep in mind for anyone who's planning to buy based on the "generous" warranty, be aware that you are at the dealerships mercy for any warranty approval, they make the calls and always try to prevent doing the warranty work.

This appears to be the spiritual successor to my 1st Gen Toyota Highlander 3 row.

I just rented a 2022 Sorento LX, I was SO impressed with this car. The handling, the tech, etc.

However, after reading posts here about transmissions bad, I’m having serious doubts.

[ragazzi]

I would get this any day over the atrocious new Highlander...I love the old one but the new one is just too big! On the other hand Kia is producing some really nice cars!

I'm in Canada so the Sorento SXP is our SX, and we get a few more niceties. That said, my Sorento SX (Wolf Grey) arrives in three days and will be the perfect fit for our family. With a single little one and a dog the space provided is perfect. For my wife, who is new to "luxury" vehicles - which for the price this vehicle definitely borders on, save for a few areas in material quality - the Sorento is a game changer. And for myself, a car guy who loves the tech, performance and amenities of modern vehicles, I couldn't ask for more for my money - except wireless Android Auto, which is available on a base Kia Forte. Yes, I know there are vehicles that do better in a given area than the Sorento but, on the whole, the Sorento is a class leader (imo) and under priced for the feature set. Having driven most of the competitors for extended periods of time - my wife and her family own several car dealerships and I have friends with others - the obvious choice, for me and my family, was the Kia Sorento.

I have a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe and I love it. Bought it two years ago with just under 18K miles. GLS, AWD w/3.5L V6. My wife will bee looking for a new ride soon and we'll definitely be looking at the new Sorento!

With my last kid going to college I have to face the reality of being an empty-nester, so driving my luxurious Telluride SXP AWD on primarily local streets achieving a dismal 18mpg is no longer practical. However I do not feel ready to downsize my car in terms of passengers capacity. With this said the Sorento PHEV with 4+2 seats I am currently driving fits my needs perfectly. With the Federal tax credits it is a good buy as long as you can find one. I am a car enthusiast so I grabbed one quickly when the stocks started to surface at dealerships last year.

Going to miss those NYC walks. I'm in SoFlo now myself. Good luck Ken!

Did you go into the radio SETTINGS, to adjust bass and treble, systems always come with all settings set in the middle of ranges which always sounds bad. After adjusting treble and bass properly, it wakes up and sounds very good.

3:38 when you said "this one is" I got scared and it was a lil creepy 😆

[waterinawell]

Give me that bench seat on upper trims! So i can keep the third row collapsed until we really need it! ( Guests!)

[AuxFiles]

I'm enjoying mine for sure. Kia did a great job this year.

[Kiss__Kiss]

Even though we're pretty much empty-nesters, the 3rd row would be overkill. But the body lines and geometric shapes are great in this vehicle. I do like the appearance of the Telluride as well.

[jlszsup]

The hybrid is something I'd like much more personally (not the PHEV the regular). Also no mention of Kia's worst reputation right now of mark-ups over MSRP, tends to be at least 8%. My local one says 4k extra on all their Kia models, what a rip off.

[BTC]

Those infotainment icons need a color variety. Lack of wireless ACP & AA is a supplier issue. Even with a 3rd row this is only a 6 seater. I would go with the Hybrid.

Nice looking ride, but they should’ve put a Harman/Kardon system in it instead of Bose.

My man’s rockin a combover. Let it go dude.
