2023 Kia Sorento LX Review: Hardly the Base Trim!

My 2023 Kia Sorento review covers the LX trim level. Styling, technology, pricing, mpg, much more.

You will also find reviews on all brands...thorough and fun...for normal, regular people like you and me.

The objective of AutoJeff Reviews is to give you as much information as possible about these incredible vehicles. I try to put my sometimes quirky and funny spin on things with my pop culture references.

I refuse to do a boring car review haha. I hope you like the channel and decide to Subscribe.

Would you rather buy the "base" or "entry" trim level of a vehicle or would you rather go for the higher trim levels? Thanks for commenting! jeff

I just got this exact vehicle as a rental for 7 days.
Pros:
I liked the simplicity of controls.
Quiet, low road noise.
Plenty of power for passing cars.
Drove through 12-14” of snow on a forest road in awd and not once did tires slip.
Came with lane assist driving in base model.

Cons:
I do not think it came with adaptive cruise control.
Outside temperature gauge was off by 5 degrees.
MPG indicator was always off. It would consistently show 27-30 mpg driving at 60-70mph.
I drove 2.5 hours uphill and calculated myself at 23mpg.
I then drove 2.5 hours downhill and got 39mpg. Yes 39mpg. Eugene to Bend, oregon and back. That averages to 31mpg. Very impressed by fuel mileage- just not impressed with fuel gauge metering.

Hello Sir Blind Spot Mirror in FWD Also ??

[tifreroty]

i bought the 2023 LX a month ago. I wish I had researched it before going to dealer. i would have gone for a higher end. But so far no problem. I wish you explained the engine self-restart system. Overall I like the video. very informative.

Does the LX trim have the auto brake hold? Didn't see it on the center console/shifter area.

That’s the only thing I miss with my 22 LX, the Blindspot thing in the mirrors

There’s no 12 V power adapter in the front. What’s up with that ? I have a dash cam that needs a round 12 V plug. I can’t use it with this car. Doesn’t Kia think about what people need ?

I believe you reversed the HP ratings at the beginning there Jeff. Nice car! I like these basic no frills vehicles a lot better.

1:40 did you mean to say 281 horsepower?

Conservative styling and lots of tech for the money. I can see the value in this.

[luisplayz]

The only thing Is that No Power On button But everything else is nice. This would be perfect for camping and road trips

[Solo-_-..]

I just purchased a 22 former rental with 40, 000 miles with all wheel drive which I do not like but that’s what it has

[toronado]

Turn signal indicators in the mirrors is a nice feature and unexpected at the base trim level!
