I have the new 2022 Sorento. I traded in my 2019 Sorento to purchase the new one. The 2019 was an excellent model. It never gave me a minutes trouble. I truly enjoyed driving it! I decided to go with the 2022 because I liked the look, and I wanted all of the features that came with it. I’ve been driving the 22 for about 2 weeks and so far really love it. Mine is the wolf gray with black seats, trim and wheels. Very Sharp!
I own a 2011 kia sorento V6 ex and I love it! Bought new and now 120k miles behind the wheel I have my eye on the 2022 sorento. Besides the normal wear and tear items (tires, breaks, wipers, etc.) Not one issue. My 11' runs as good as the day I bought it.
I bought a used 2012 Kia Sorento with 92k miles on it. 1 year to the day after I bought my Kia, the engine blew. I looked it up and it was covered under their factory recall. Brought my Kia to the dealership and they fixed it for free but I was without my car for 3 months without a loaner.
We leased a 2016 for 3 years and didn't have a single issue. New generation looks great. Sad to see the departure of the V6. Not a lot of SUV's in this segment. Much bigger than a RAV4, escape, and those smaller vechles. But smaller than highlander, pilot or tellurides.
I just bought the prestige SX Wolf gray with black interior. It’s brought so much joy back to my long drives back home. Just a beast of a car inside and out. I test drove both the Telliride and the Sorento. I honestly feel the Sorento has more features with a smoother lane assist. Both are great cars though
We bought a new 2022 AWD Kia Sorrento S with the NON turbo 2.5L just 4 months ago and have just over 6,000 miles on it. Vehicle broke down on my wife last week and was just notified today that Kia is recommending that the dealership replace the engine! Thankfully it is 100% covered but not happy that old engine issues may not be resolved and reliability is now obviously in question...
I'm on my 3rd Sorrento had a 2012 my first one it was a great car lots of road trips absolutely no issues like nothing bought it used with around 50k put another 100k and traded it right around 150k miles for the 2020 model this one was brand new and never had any problems either had it for just over 2 years and we got the 2022 basically we fell in love with this model and it has been amazing vehicle so far have already taken several out of state trips it's like driving a laptop in the sense that it has so many features we're constantly finding new things it does lol basically drives it's self has a button you can make the lane assist more aggressive for lack of a better word and it does really well keeping you in your lane especially when tired in those long trips it's awesome ours has the panoramic sunroof it's a perl white with aluminum and black wheels the dash looks amazing has phone chargers everywhere even on the side of front seats for the second row passengers and the third row is great to keep teenagers in their own space lol the black interior looks and feels awesome we have gotten compliments from just about everyone even strangers since we've owned it door handles lights up when you get near it with fob in your pocket my wife has Kia app and can start it and open it remotely with the app 4cyl so super economical on fule has like 4 different settings for driving sport,eco,smart and comfort I love the sport mode but not for stop and go traffic as the Trans takes longer to shift so its nice to be able to switch according to driving conditions.All and all,the 3 Kia Sorrentos we've owned have been basically problem free beginning with the 2012 maybe we've been lucky I do keep up with basic maintenance on time synthetic oil changes but that's about it we will see how this one works out in the long run but if it's anything like the ones before Kia has a faithful customer here 😆
I just purchased the 22 sorento ex hybrid. For the 22 the panoramic sunroof is is no longer standard and will cost an extra $1500 on top of the extra cost of the ex. If you dont need the sunroof I would suggest buying the s model as there isnt much difference between the s and ex. The ex has the power liftgate and navigation based cruise control along with a few other minor changes in electronics. For the extra cost (about $6k) I wish I would have just gotten the s and spent the saved money on accessories. Kias website states that the ex hybrid is awd and has wood trim interior which neither is true. For the hybrid it drives nice and smooth and great mpg.
We bought a new 2016 EX with a V6 in Sept 2015 and it is the best car we have ever owned. The oil has been changed regularly and tires replaced once; nothing else.
Traded my 21 S model with 11,000miles on it for a 22 sx . So far i like it better. The turbo is pretty sweet. Way better than the underpowered 21S model to me.
I have a 2022 SX Sorento, two weeks old and I am CONSTANTLY having issues with the cross traffic sensor, blind spot sensor, and lane assist sensors. Getting the beeping “check” warning while driving every other day. Not happy.
We have a 2022 and for the most part, it's great. The only real complaint we have is that you cannot lock the car from the interior lock button. You must close the door and either use the remote or have the key fob with you so that you can use the exterior button on the door. I drive dozens of different cars through travel and this is the only car I have ever encountered that will not lock by using the interior door lock button. Kia offers some convoluted explanation and states that the Owners Manual is incorrect (which clearly states that you should be able to lock the doors this way). Other than this annoyance, we are happy so far.
We have about 37,000 miles on our 2019 KIA Sorento SXL, which we bought new in summer 2018. It is the ideal Goldilocks Harpmobile for transporting my wife's concert grand harp. We had to replace a balky starter under warranty at about 30,000 miles, but otherwise it's been the most trouble-free and satisfying vehicle we've ever owned. Our top-of-the-line 2019 KIA Sorento SXL is equipped with just about everything that the Telluride SX has, including the same engine and transmission. Admittedly, it doesn't have the large, whiz-bang instrumentation and "info-tainment" screens, but--hey--that smaller 8" screen offers wireless Apple CarPlay while the new set-up doesn't. Go figure.
I HAD a 2020 Kia Sorento EX+V6 and looooooved it. No issues. Buuuut a week ago today a buttmunch ran a stop and T - boned me Dow my drivers side and totalled it. The airbags did deploy. I Believe my insurance will write it off. So now my only option from the dealership is a 2022 Kia Sorento LX Premium. Not exactly what I had before it it’s the only incoming vehicle from factory.
I went to buy the Sorento today. The one I wanted was sold as I was looking at it. Ended up buying the Nightfall Edition Telluride instead. Now I’m considering trading in my Jeep for the Sorento
Do you not like the Telluride? I went in for the Telluride ended up looking at the Sorento. I loved the interior of the Sorento over the Telluride now I'm trying to decide lol.
@@AwakenedGrayce I love the Telluride. I wasn’t planning on spending this much. But since it is so hard to find a vehicle these days. I drove the Telluride because the Sorento I was going to buy had been sold while I was looking at it. The Telluride is beautiful you will not be disappointed. If they get the Sorento in a Nightfall Edition with the Black Lettering like my Telliride I’ll be trading in my Jeep for it.
I just brought the 2020 seranta xline ex turbo...love the car good ride very comfortable and plenty of power...for the price point I payed for the seranto.. was a little disappointed that it does not have daytime running lights.. witch makes no sense. Has auto matic lights that on over cast days never go on unless I turn them on .. has to be almost dark before they come automatically.. auto start is Hit or miss depending on how close you are to your car. It has evo.. witch takes for ever to send a signal to your car depending on where you are..and it only runs your car for 10 min we get 20 below weather where I live 10 min is not even a warm up... trunk space awful. And would have nice to throw in auto folding mirrors. 40.000 car is I'm being picky...
I have a 2014, had a engine issue, but it was covered by the warranty, and was replaced and fixed with no inconvenience, no other problems, looking to get a 2022 because of the safety features
I can’t wait till my Kia 2022 Sorento x line gets here in may 😬. My family is growing into my 3rd child and my little Chevy sonic can’t handle our family size anymore.
Well as much as I love mine 22ex at 30k miles engines started stalling and they replaced spark plugs coils injectors and today im going back in it shakes like a 3 leg washer 😩 other than that was loving it
I purchased a 2022 Sorento SX Prestige in March 2022. By the end of April, it was giving me a "Transmission System Error!" It had less than 1700 miles on it. This error makes the vehicle almost undriveable. The even numbered gears slip horribly. I like the style and features of the Sorento so I am not sure if I would buy another one. Once the Lemon Law process is done, I may have to look at the Telluride.
Thanks for the info. I’m particularly interested in this car for the PHEV option but can’t seem to find any info about when it will be available. My local dealer didn’t even know that such a model was in the queue. Any insight there?
I have a 2021 telluride that I’m trading for the phev sorento - my dealer told me there was very little info on it so far but I’ll be able to order mine within a couple months. Absolutely love the telluride but I drive a lot more now than I anticipated and want the better gas mileage. Other than losing the cooled seats in back I don’t think it will be too much of a step down.
I have a 2011 sorento with 170k miles, and I love my truck! It only goes to the dealership for recall fixes, I have not had any problems that recalls didnt cover, though right now, I do worry about the whole engine failure thing because my sorento doesnt seem to fall into the repair/replace category for Kia, and right now, my check engine light is on, and I am getting terrible gas mileage. Not sure what to do or what I can do.
Other than being unsure about getting the 2.5 Turbo vs the Hybrid or PHEV (hoping for 10 years of good performance & reliability), and besides the minor issue of no real HVAC buttons, another issue I see is the seating configuration, which makes me think the 5 passenger Santa Fe is a better option.
@@sebastianromero420 no, I am aware of GDI issues. There are so many direct injection engines now, they're hard to avoid, but my mileage is so low, that I haven't had problems with them. I also don't have access to all brands where I live. So, what 5 seat AWD SUV in this price range do you recommend? Thanks :)
Insufficient. Did you own them for two days or two years? Give at least one significant detail to owning it. Was it a daily driver? How many miles did you put on it? How were the features? Any malfunctions in equipment or materials?
Thank you for making this video. I just ordered A 2022 Kia Sorento wolf Gray awd with with rust Brown interior X line SX prestige trim. They said I won't get it until January 13th. I have been doing my research and I'm really excited to get it. July 2021 I bought the Kia K5 wolf Gray with red interior GT line awd. After driving it A few months I realized I wanted something a little more luxurious And larger. I came across the new 2022 Sorrento Here on TH-cam. I called the dealership to see if they could get it in wolf Gray Is with the Brown rust interior. They made some calls and said they could order it and it would be done January 13th.
I would like to know how you like it once you get it. I had the 2018 Sorento then switched to the 2021 Sportage last year but looking to go back to the Sorento so please let me know and where did you order yours from?
I have the 2022 Sorento X-Line Prestige. At less than 1K miles, it started a random tortured mouse squeak coming from the lower left driver side. It didn't squeak for the dealership tech, so they said the vehicle is fine. The squeak is random. Not any particular weather condition initiates it. It ranges in pitch. I don't feel safe driving this vehicle. I rented a vehicle to see my daughter two hours away. I'm paying for a new vehicle and having to rent a vehicle to go out of town. This makes no sense.

No disrespect Kate,but that's a bad deal. Take someone with you on your next car purchase
A big difference in the U.S. is the reintroduction of memory driver seat for 2022. This is a big deal to many! So thank you Kia for bringing it back!
2022 Sorento with less than 10k miles. Will be having my transmission replaced this weekend.
DCT?
