I’m not a German but I like to follow you and watch your videos. Your videos is full of informations about the cars you show . Thanks

[Milenu]

It's incredible the progress Hyundai/KIA made in the last 10-12 years.

[Anton.voigt]

I am German, but I like the English Version more than german one.
It is in english more well spoken and calmer.
Thank you Thomas for this great relaxed Car Channel. 👍🏻

[ilovecats]

Always interesting to me to get the German perspective on non German vehicles

[Cpoint.]

Imo, kia sorento is very good car. Not all of them but better than some other "premium" brands' cars.

[CalippoCola]

my facelifted Sorento ( platinum phev) will arrive late december. I‘m thrilled ☺️

[jasondickens]

Kia did a very good job engineering in useful functionality to the second row. First up when you are sitting in the second row your legs sit square like in a chair so it’s designed to give you maximum comfort on long distance driving. Second when the 60/40 rear seat folds it pivots in such a fashion that the bottom cushion moves down closer to the floor before the upper seat cushions move to fold thus achieving a true fold flat second row. Thirdly the level of legroom is truly impressive with each section of the second row having the ability to travel multiple inches so you can give more legroom to the occupants or more cargo room depending upon your immediate needs. Imagine all this in a vehicle that is under 190 inches long. There are other SUVs that have been in the business longer than Kia and they are bigger(bloated), offer less legroom in the second row, and cost more yet expect customers to by them with less attention to details in the commodity vehicle market. Well done Kia

Great review, thanks, this was useful

[thomastcrapper]

Like it very much. Good functionality and great space. At 14:08 can be seen frustration and the urge to just walk away and leave the car where it's standing.

[frostymeatpuppet]

The top trim has the option of cooling in the front seats, so the toggle would make more sense.

[darksantacruz]

A very good suv, I am just disappointed with the phev version that besides being power downsized its battery is the same as the previous version, I would expect buy now at least an 18kw battery.

[ishaansaral]

This is a great car for Europe since we lack so many non luxury 3 row options. Would have loved to see you in the hybrid top trim. Diesels are going out of favor, and popularity.

Hoping to see you test the new Santa Fe hybrid at some point, to compare it with the Sorento. Also, Tucson facelift would be interesting to compare with Kia Sportage.

[Jhn_kor]

Most popular car for dads in Korea! Especially the hybrid one

[toddb]

Another great video Mr Thomas. You have a great voice and interesting tone. Your knowledge of cars is superior. Keep up the good work! And thanks to your beautiful wife for the fine video presentation

[DiploFu]

都是日間測試, 希望之後能增加夜間測試, 智慧頭燈的動作測試及各照明的測試 :)

[xmerxmer]

It blows my mind how Kia holds its value remarkably well! Maybe even better than many Germans.

btw, thank god they replaced those vents inside, that was the only bad looking part in the whole car inside and out.

[alioscopy-glasses-free-D]

Another good review, Thomas.

I had one of the previous generation as a rental car in California, last year, and I thought it was very well-suited for US highway driving.

Here in the UK, seeing one coming towards me at speed on a tight country road (invariably driven by a 'Yummy-Mummy' on the school run) is very worrying!!

BTW: it's a shame that you didn't have a camera on your lovely lady's face - when you were making the grand claim that you could 'find it directly with my hand, even blindfolded' !! 😂

Over here, there's a long-standing joke (made by women) that some men can't find 'IT'… even with a map and a torch! 🔦🗺️🧭

Keep up the good work.
