Just under $40 grand and there's no power liftgate? My Nissan Rogue in SV trim comes with power hatch and a turbo that gets 36 mpg on the hwy and it was $30 grand. Hmm....
Thanks to you bought one for my wife. It's amazing. Power isn't there but she won't be drag racing. Smooth handling, nice tech, solid leather seats. Kia is doing something right
This revised Sorento may well be the best looking vehicle in its class. I would avoid the panoramic sunroof, awd and, if possible, the third row seating. Like the low profile dash configuration. I think the 2.5L/8 spd. trans. is plenty, esp. w/o the sunroof, awd, etc. "baggage". Hyunda/Kia group is really upping their game! Price with those possible mentioned deletions would also be more manageable for real world budgets. Wolf Grey is nice..imagine it with a very muted darker red interior. This would be a logical step up from a Sportage or Tucson which I think are mostly enough for anyone. Very good review, as always! .
I agree with you except for the AWD (because I live in Michigan lol). I would avoid the sunroof for the weight savings/reliability (exploding sunroofs/cost savings). Also, I would stay away from the 2.5T engine with the dual clutch transmission. They’ve had reliability issues with the engine… The base engine will be slow, but you don’t buy this kinda car because it’s fast. You buy it because it’s practical! Very nice upgrade for 2024.
I have driven Toyota, Honda, Acura, Nissan. And one day I decided to try with KIA, I bought a 2022 KIA FORTE. It's AMAZING, it changed my mind about KIA, it’s very nice!
Great video! This is one of the only videos on the 2024 Sorento S Trim right now. Thank you! Getting mine tomorrow, cant wait.
Thanks! Congratulations! Enjoy your new car. Thanks for tuning in.
Has anyone leased one recently??

The s I just looked at was power lift gate. The xline has auto lift gate
Where you just walk upto it and it opens
$40k for a kid hauler with a manual tailgate, piss off
Bought mine for 32k learn to deal with dealerships
I do hope they managed to make this new one more reliable.
Are there air vents in the third row?
Looks nice, I also can’t wait to see the 2025 Forte/K4 with a similar headlight design to this Sorento

Glad to hear! Thanks so much for watching and the feedback. Much appreciated.
Looking forward to seeing the top trim!
I upgraded my Stinger GT-Line with this one. My payment went $25 up. Love it
Congrats! Many happy miles. Thanks for tuning in.

Thanks Louis. They finally stepped up the tech. Boy it needed it.
May I ask why would you avoid AWD on this vehicle?
