Such super high quality, top notch videos. Thanks Mike! Your detailed look at all the features is very helpful. I don't think I've seen anyone TH-cam go into such detail, and make it all easy to understand. Keep up the great work! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
My wife and i bought a used 2017 sorento. Love it. Not long after we got it my wife had to take a trip from missouri where we live to mississippi. I told her to check the oil whens he stopped for gas
Damn thing cut me off. Anyway I told her to check the oil when she stopped for gas. When she got home she said it didn't burn a drop of oil. I checked it myself and it was still clean and full. We have put quit a few miles on it and its still full and clean.
This is one great used SUV to afford Mike.
Beautiful SUV. Good review. Thanks for being clean and no foul language used like in some reviews you run across on TH-cam. I've always been a Ford, and GM, and Dodge owner over the years. mainly the big 3 US automakers. It was a difficult decision for me back in 2013 to purchase a Kia. I was looking for practicality, dependability, and low maintenance ownership costs. KIA fit my choice after all the looking and studying of all the cars on the market. It was difficult for me in buying foreign. especially knowing how back in the day, in the 90s, on how how Kia made junk. But after careful review, and a few nights sleep I decided to make the leap for a Kia. best decision I ever made. My last two vehicle purchases have been Kia. I'll probably Drive nothing but Kia from now on. Excellent quality today and bang for the buck.
This is excellent review. Car companies should pay you to do this. Seriously.
The facelift version of the Kia Sorento has been released a couple of weeks ago in Kia's homeland South Korea. It has LED turn signal indicators and headlights, and minor upgrades in the interior. Newly added Rack type motor-driven-power-steering for precision in steering will give more feedback, with newly added 8 speed auto.
Can't wait till it comes out in the US!
I'm always enjoying your video Mike. Keep up the good work!
+Ki Jung Kwon Thank you for the information. I can't wait to see the new Sorento :)
A K mm..mm...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnñnnnn........ ..
That car is beautiful
I have never commented before on TH-cam, but I have to comment on your thorough video Mike. This was the best in-depth video I have ever seen on TH-cam. I definitely subscribed to ya and will be checking out more videos from you. This was a great presentation of the 2018 Kia Sorento SX Limited SXL! Made my choice of going with the Kia by this video. Keep up the great work Mike!
Thank you I really appreciate your positive feedback :)
Hey Mike you are probably the best Car Reviewer👍🏻 Keep it up!
Btw Hope you Get 100,000 subs!
I truly appreciate these great reviews, Mike. The video quality and detailed information is so very nice. Thanks for your efforts.
You all probably dont care at all but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account??
I was stupid lost my login password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
Kia is smashing big time! I love this sorento and stinger!
The white nappa leather in the 2018 Sorento is gorgeous, one of the nicest interiors ive ever seen & owned....however the bolsters stain quickly, even with the leather protection & the dealer could not get them clean. We returned our car to the dealer after 2 months & 3200KM on it got an SXL with the black metallic leather instead. Unless you plan on sitting on a pillow case, don't go with the white nappa leather.
Such a fantastic video showing this car in detail. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much
Such a great video! Best ever! Thank you so much ❤
I like the car very sleek looking!
Wow, terrific detail review and you made it very interesting, thank you
Forgot to say. Very very nice video. clear and indept. And nice voice. I can heat evwrything u said. 👍👍
does it have a spare tire? If yes, where is it? Underneath in the back or inside?
We got a 2017 and absolutely love it 💪😁👍 .. V6 in sport has so much zoom power 🚗💨
Ains Gown did you notice anything that the 2018 has that the 2017 doesn’t
Great video Mike! Greetings from Brazil!
Great vid Mike !!!
Is this sorento better than pilot for 2016? Please let me know
sharp looking KIA
Great video good job I have a 2017 love it
😀 👍
I was there July 12 to 16 but flew from Indy to mrytle beach I want one but can I lease one mike or would it be easier to lease from Hyundai Santa fe sport which would you go for for warranty and reliability thanks mike
Hey Mike, thanks a lot for this very useful review. I've been searching for such an in-depth review and I think I've just found the best one. There are some "rumors" going on e.g. it cannot close the side windows and/or the sunroof upon leaving the car, I mean there is no "trick" for doing that such as long push on close button or something like that. Is that true? I cannot imagine Kia is missing this functionality in 2017 :) Thanks in advance for your answer.
Thank you for this value information Its really useful
This is different to the UK 2018 in a lot of ways - you can tell from the steering wheel and the aircon controller are different and newer in the UK 2018 facelift- does this sorento have the 8 speed auto box too? Careful of that shiny steering wheel which will annoy u when its sunny.
I was just gifted a snow white 2018 Kia Sorento V6 Ex
I really like this car. Is Kia reliable? Thanks
Cmeth 08 i have a 2005 kia spectra and still runs
Cmeth 08 i think they are really reliable they certainly are not at the bottom of reliable I would say they are close to Toyota reliability
Señor Loco what about Volkswagen?
Calla Something I really want the Jeep Compass what do you think
I just saw an article that gave a list of the most reliable car brands since 2016. It was something like least issues per 100,000 vehicles sold, and KIA was number one with the least issues. It was on top of the list over all luxury brands. The top three was 1.Kia 2. Porsche 3. Hyundai
If it’s an automatic, why put your foot on the break to start it?
Excellent review. Lots of great information.
Hey Mike, I think this is the 2017 Generation, cause the new 2018 model has a facelift, minor changes, but make it look sharper.
+sidhu704 This is a 2018 but they may release the facelift mid year or next year. As of right now this is what is available at dealers in USA in a 2018 model.
The window sticker at the end of the video says it's a 2017 model. Are they any changes between a 2017 and one labeled 2018?
Love that you get 3 rows, yet the length is only 187 inches
Here is my Kia experience. Anyone in my position has encountered the same thing from Kia. If you cannot supply them with up to date maintenance records on your vehicle they will not cover it. So for instance, if you change your own oil you're screwed. Might work if you saved all your receipts but very few people are in the habit of saving receipts of them doing their own oil changes. This ploy Kia uses is well documented if you want to look it up, I have, and it’s out there. Also my car would be covered under the SC147 recall as the symptoms of my engine seizing up (engine needs replaced) followed the exact same symptomology as those the manufacturing defect notes in the recall. The recall notice even appears on my Carfax report. Again you can find all the recall information online. The reason my car isn't part of the SC147 recall according to Kia is because it is MPI instead of GDI. All the rest of the engine is the exact same, 2.4L theta II. Kia says that because my car uses a different kind of fuel injection method that it cannot be affected by the metal filings left in the engine block which is what the SC147 recall is all about. That's totally absurd on its face but that's Kia's position.
The vehicles Kia did recall was done after many government threats as well as numerous lawsuits brought by disgruntled Kia owners for which there are many. Kia's mother company, Hyundai actually recalled their vehicles for the same problem immediately when the issue was discovered. It took Kia several years later to admit to the problem and issue a recall even though they were well aware of the problem. Where was Kia's concern for people being killed due to this manufacturing defect? A car having its engine seize up on the interstate would be something that would concern most companies immediately but not Kia. Unless Kia completely changes the way it does business they will continue to cost consumers thousands of dollars for defective cars and probably end up killing people due to their own negligence.
I had to argue, write emails, file complaints with various entities, etc just to get Kia to actually LOOK at my engine at no cost to me to determine the how and why of the engine failure. Kia refused to cover my car even though it is under warranty and furthermore refused to even LOOK at my car to see what caused the failure. I'm still waiting for a callback from Kia with their assessment. Kia actually agreed to take my valve cover off to take a look at my car once I complained as high up as I could to Kia. This was after several months of my car sitting dead on the Auffenberg Kia lot in Metro east St Louis. Kia actually told me I'd have to pay $1500 up front to have my engine failure looked into initially. My constant pressure on Kia finally got them to say they would take my valve cover off for no fee which costs Kia less than $50 in labor. Kia had no desire whatsoever to know what caused my engine to seize up. Their ONLY concern was to avoid any acknowledgement of any responsibility or liability. Kia already knew what caused the engine to fail. The same thing that happened to hundreds of thousands of the same engines made by Kia and Hyundai. It was the exact same problem as the Kia SC147 recall. Taking the valve cover off will not help. There was no oil leak. No oil smell. Never any indication of any problem with the valve cover. It's simply a ploy for Kia to say we looked at your engine and it's your fault. Who would trust their assessment at this point anyway? I'm out thousands of dollars I still owe on a car without a working engine. Don't you think any car maker worth a darn would want to know why one of their vehicles engines just seized up on the highway? Kia's been super lucky so far no one has died due to their negligence.
Additionally a co-worker of mine had a problem with his Kia and will not buy one again either. For his Kia the car required a specific oil filter made and installed by Kia and if that was not used the engine fails. He was never told this when he purchased the vehicle. His insurance successfully sued Kia for over $7,000 for his engine failure. Unfortunately my insurance doesn't cover mechanical issues.
Ever wonder why your Kia never quite gets the gas mileage it was rated to get? Kia has also paid out for a class action lawsuit because they lied about the MPG of many of their models. The very MPG rating that many people base a large percentage of their purchase decision on. Yeah, Kia lied about that too but kept it hush hush. You can find the information online if you look for it.
I had my car into the dealership (Auffenberg) several times before the engine failure telling them something is bad wrong with the car. The Kia service department ran every kind of computer diagnostic and could find no reason for the problems which included knocking, major loss of power, major loss of fuel economy and car dying at both idle and speed. Check engine light was always on and every sensor it said was malfunctioning was replaced and it didn't help. Unfortunately I could not leave my car with Kia. Kia wouldn't supply me with a free rental. They said it was against company policy. My step daughter was dying needing a second liver transplant as all this was going on and I couldn't be without that vehicle. With only one vehicle (other than the Kia) I wouldn't be able to get to work or my step daughter wouldn't be able to be cared for properly. I told Kia this and still they refused to get me a rental while they actually got to the root of my car problem and addressed it. Instead they said sorry to hear that, we can't find any problem with your car. They actually let me leave with a car they KNEW was dangerous and about to fail. They didn't care that my family was going through a serious medical situation with my step daughter and the car behaving as it was only increased the stress on my entire family during this time. Fortunately my step daughter got her transplant just in time and is doing ok now. Not only did Kia sell me a defective product but all this happened as our family is going through the stress of a child being deathly ill, lots of additional costs for medical related expenses and Kia was told this and didn't care. Kia added thousands of dollars to my already stressed finances by selling me a defective vehicle.
But it gets even better. The Kia rep in Arizona named Steve that handles my case and many others actually told me on the phone that some of Kia's cars die early and that's just the way it is. He insisted all other car manufacturers have the same problem and also refuse to repair the vehicles leaving their customers screwed too. That's certainly not my experience nor that of anyone I know. Steve at Kia flat out told me Kia isn't going to pay and I'm out of luck because I got a bad Kia and have to eat it. That's what he said. That's Kia’s customer service that said that to me.
I have to shake my head and laugh every time I call Kia and their recording says "Rated #1 in initial quality 2 years in a row!" Yeah, and dies in 78,000 miles and Kia refuses to make a full recall or honor it's warranty. You won't see Kia winning any customer service awards or vehicle longevity awards.
My advice to anyone that has a Kia (ESPECIALLY if it's a 2.4L) is to trade it in and get something other than a Kia before it dies and your left paying off a car that doesn't run. I liked Kia at one time or I wouldn't have bought one. What I've found out since has opened my eyes to the quality of their vehicles and their denials of their own manufacturing defects even if it could cost lives or severely screw consumers over financially. Buying a Kia might make you think you're getting more quality for less money but it's all based upon lies and cover-ups. That is my Kia experience and it's the WORST experience I've had with any company on any level at any time in my 31 (47 - 16) years of driving cars.
Here's the latest. I put that post above on every Kia video I could find on youtube. I also put it on every single video the Kia dealership here put out. I then wrote to Kia and the dealership and told them I was going to do everything in my power to let people know about my Kia experience and how crappy Kia is. I told them while they work hard every day to make a good name for themselves I'll be out there working against everything they do. I told them I'd use all forms of social media to tell everyone about Kia and this specific Kia dealership. Turns out the service guy at the Kia dealership calls me up and tells me I'm getting a brand spanking new engine. I can't recall his exact words but something like "as a courtesy". Said he worked hard to get Kia to get me that engine at no cost to me. I get my car back in 2 or 3 weeks with the new engine and no charge. Service guy also said he took the valve cover off my engine and there was no sign of any damage that I did to it like using old oil. Since then I've got several replies from Kia corporate saying they won't cover my engine even though they don't know they already are. The latest email I got from Kia was in response to a BBB complaint I lodged. Per this email I discovered that Kia's wonderful 10 year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty only exists for new Kia's. In other words if you buy a Kia that has been previously owned for say 1 year from an authorized Kia dealer you bought the car used and therefore that warranty doesn't apply. Here is a quote from the email from Kaan Gurocak, Consumer Affairs | Escalated Case Administrator, Kia Motors America, Inc. "Also, as a subsequent owner of his vehicle, your powertrain warranty expired at 60,000 miles, or 5 years after the warranty start date of 9/24/2010, whichever came first." News to me. Anyone else know if you buy a used Kia you can throw that warranty in the garbage? Now you do.
Thanks for the update Darren. I am glad to hear better news :)
MikesCarInfo great review like always, could you review the 2017 Hyundai Veloster non-turbo?
You Should Do The 2019 Kia Sorento SXL Review
Great video..well explained
This is my car now
Great Presentation - Thank You.
Myrtle Beach yay love that place
I like...very nice car,,,
Anyone have information on the Diesel engine coming out later in 2018? Specs?
cool vid mike - cheers
Great video Mike! Can you do a comparison review of the 2018 Honda Odyssey exl and the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica touring l plus? Please respond to this!!! Thank you!!
Mike, let's see a 2018 Kia Optima and it's LED headlights/LED foglights at night please. Thanks!
Does this car have middle heated seats?
Great video. Is there going to be a Kia Stinger review soon?
Hopefully :)
That separate remote start fob is dumb. It should be on the bigger fob. Why have 2 fobs? Like c the car though. As usual Mike. Great job!
tom martin Remote start doesn't come with the car. You have to buy it outside market and have it fixed. That accounts for the remote.
Mike can you review older cars please?
Good review...thanks
you da best Mike!
Muy buena camioneta saludos desde Peru
gabriel siria levario 😃
in your next video plz show us what the panck kye do
Too bad they can't use the side reverse cameras as a lane watch when merging like Honda has
Very nice.
hey mike I'm looking for a sub compact car that is cheap and reliable any recommendations?
New or used?
MikesCarInfo new im thinking subaru crosstrek 2018 or the new jeep compass what u think?
I thought you said cheap :)
If you need an AWD type vehicle then the Crosstrek is a good choice. It will hold it's value better than the Compass.
Lol thanks. What do u think about the mitsubishi outlander sprt?
MikesCarInfo, Hi Mike. Can you do a video on the 2018 Crosstreck? It looks like a good car. Thank you
really nice!
Fantastic 🤑
The maximum speed is only 160km / h?
its 160 Miles per hour,so it can go as fast as 260 kilometers per hour
Hi Mike I want to start a car review/vlog channel. How should I start
Grab a camera and start making videos :)
Be yourself and have fun.
MikesCarInfo thanks would an IPhone camera work
Better than what I had when I started.
MikesCarInfo what did you have?
Sony pocket camera that I paid $25 for. I couldn't afford a cell phone.
Nice!
really dont understand why these new cars in 2017 have seperate remotes for remote start…
LOL, I haven’t even seen my Sorento undercarriage, until now😆🤣😂
Ok thats fine i we will be going in February anyways so hopefully they will be out
I hate the rear wiper on the glass. The new Traverse has it hidden under the top spoiler. Much more athstetic.
naic
I love mine got me a 2018 this past year.......great car until the pc of shit shut down on the 5 south bound mother of god almost crash thanks kia u almost fucken kill me 🥰
I want that suv
Yes ford feista
jeez, somebody tell me, since when Kia became a "car" ??
Since the company formed. I've got nothing but respect for them. They're smashing the competition
Hyundai elentra 2017 sport 1.6t
Nothing about the spare tire situation
0:06
Looks to mini-van to me.
Remote start isn't on the fob that comes with the car. Pretty disappointing. Every vehicle I've had since 2007 has had remote start! Deal breaker for me.
Jerry Gilliland I have a 2018 Sorento and lost the remote start fob and then found out you can indeed remote start the vehicle with the key fob by pressing the lock button and then the hatch button twice. Works great.
The motor seems to far to the left
im worry to see kia sorento after using 5years
If you're poor, Corean Kiaaaaaaaa is for you.

NEEDS AWD especially for 46K
Looked at this SUV with the same interior, the light tan almost white leather was already scuffed up with black marks all over the place and this was a new car. In two years this interior would looked beat up. That was a turn off. I wish this trim level had a darker tan interior. The top part of the steering wheel bothered me. I rather it to be soft like the rest of the steering wheel.

Kia vehicle engines are known to only last 78,000 miles. This I'm told from a Kia represenative.
www.kia.com/us/en/content/owners/warranty
Since you are disseminating so much false information on my videos please provide links to support your claims in the future.
Sorry bud but I don't have links to support my first hand experiences. Why don't you look up Kia recall SC147 and then realize that out of the 100's of thousands of vehicles they recalled for engine failures it was only the bare minimum. Kia and there owner Hyundai may want to try making cars without leaving metal filings in the engine. Then again you could also look up all the lawsuits filed against Kia and judgments won against Kia. Metal filings left in engines and sold that way. Lying about the mpg their cars get, etc. The list is long. When my car engine seized up while driving down the highway and I was told I'd have to spend thousands on a new engine the Kia rep, Steve at 520-733-4667 actually told me that Kia's frequently have motors die early like mine did at 78,000 miles. He said it was normal for Kia vehicles. No one at Kia has ever disputed this and trust me I let a lot of Kia executives know.
"Owners will be able to receive a repair for this condition at no cost for 15 years/unlimited miles instead of 10
years/120,000 miles. "
Looks like Kia is taking responsibility and not only repairing the problem but extending the engine warranty past the regular 100k miles.
static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V224-9711.pdf
Yeah, true for vehicles found to be part of the recall. Although a little effort put into research clearly shows that Kia hasn't recalled many vehicles which have the engine problem.
That 3rd row seat is a joke. I bought the 2 row version and it's much nicer with plenty of storage in the cargo area.
boi

Hyundai, Kia Motors, Diesel engine, engine oil increase.
It is very dangerous.
Mason Feliz WTF are you talking about? What's dangerous?
Mason Feliz Yeah what are you saying? Whats dangerous? This is a gasoline engine. Gdi - gasoline direct injection. Most new cars now have gdi engines. The problem with gdi is that carbon build up on the intake valve!
How much this car
Damn this is nice
Awesome video, as always!!
