Love the new Sorento but Kia made a HUGE mistake by leaving out the Drivers Seat Memory feature. It's not available on any trims, including the SX Prestige. This feature is a MUST HAVE for anyone who shares the driving with someone else. Kia...please fix this ASAP!
Thanks for the review! unsolicited suggestion: maybe comment more during the drive with regard to vehicle demeanor such as whether it is quiet and other characteristics. You did mention that it handles well.
I'm actually excited about this car hey do you know is the SX or the higher level trims or whatever the heck The prestige option is that going to have the ambient lighting?... And heads up display? everywhere else in the world has a different shifter so seeing what else we don't get....
Per KIA features pdf, where are the following items that are present on the outside the USA Sorentos, the 2020 Sorento or the sister 2021 Santa Fe: Power Folding mirrors, Rain Sensing wipers, Heated rear seats, 2nd row sun shades, Homelink Mirror, digital key, remote parking, rear seat quiet mode, heads up display, auto up one touch rear windows, Ambient lighting, perforated steering wheel, trailer sway control, trailer wiring, Memory seats/mirrors, voice recognition of windows/temp, drivers seat leg extensions, rear suspension auto leveling????????? NONE of these are listed as 2021 KIA Sorento Features for ANY trim!!! I'll buy a Santa Fe Hybrid Limited with most of these KIA Sorento missing features!!!!
@@normgilbertson3975 Some of those features are in US Sorentos (mine has quiet mode, the SX-Prestige has the power folding mirrors, etc.) but really where did they go? They went into the Telluride. Kia needs to keep some things out of the Sorento and only it the Telluride so the Sorento doesn't water down the hottest selling SUV on the market.
Thanks for sharing. On 10:10 you mentioned steering assist while you were driving. Did you have your hands off the wheel and was the system keeping you centered in the lane? And did it keep a safe distance away from the car in front automatically? I know its the responsibility of the driver to practice safe driving but was wondering how intuitive those systems are. thanks.
Doug do Mirro didn’t do review the LX engine 2.5 naturally aspirated engine which in my opinion is bad because people want to see base model cars not high and model cars
Thats why I try and review as many trim levels as possible, because even though the high end versions are the best out there, they are also the least common and the majority of people want to see how the low to mid trim levels perform.
It is not bad at all! It is perfect for what it is. Obviously, if you need more power, you can get the 2.5L turbo, but the NA 2.5 is plenty for most people.

Even the base S trim is very nice but unfortunately, it's missing the smart cruise. Thank you.
I'm more astonished by the details of this car
Love your reviews! Keep them coming!
It's very nice 👌. I wish the smart cruise and power liftgate are standard for all trims. Regards.

Thanks for the tip!
This is a terrific looking vehicle.
You should make a 0 to 60 comparison of the 2.5 regular engine and the turbo for customers to make a good decision.
Its a GDI and MPI as well,,so they dont have to deal with carbon build ups,,

It should! It may also have the different shifter, not sure yet though

That was all the system!

Great...but needs a V6
Bro, good day! How was the 2.5L naturally aspirated engine AWD? Does the power, torque and acceleration enough for Kia Sorento? Thanks.

Wow Kia Sorento Top up
Just bought a used one. I'm a fan. I have the highest trim S series. It's a boss.
There is a 3.5 L V6 engin !
Not for 2021
I hate when you put cameras on your face
This isn’t really a review, more like wandering around with a shaky phone camera. Oh well, lots of others available.
It's more of a Point Of View type of review
I appreciate the point of view and letting us listen to the car without talking.
