The Sorento is the mothership of Kia’s line-up. A big, seven-seater SUV which during the past decade has won over Aussie families for its spaciousness and practicality, its safety tech and the way it drives, while being great value for money.
Now the new-generation model has arrived looking leaner and meaner than the old Sorento. So, has it lost any of the charms which made it a winner, or has it only got better?

Who would’ve thought my dream vehicle would be a Kia!
Kia and hyundai are great but your dream vehicle really!
@@991carreras3 beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This is not bad for a Korean car.
Wow, something I never thought hear in same sentence "Kia" and "Dream car" in same line🙂
yes this is awesome for a Kia- love it- would buy it over a BMW X3 anyday
@@georgedowns4034
Definitely over x3 anyday but not x5 or x7 different ball game
Tell you what, Kia is becoming impossible to ignore.
Absolutely. There is absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever with any Korean made vehicle, Ssangyong included. Quality offerings 1000%
That's a stereotype that's quickly being washed away. In today's time, German cars have relatively similar build quality to Korean car manufacturers as well as Lexus, a Japanese brand.
@Jack Wood Nowadays, many of the German cars especially Mercedes and BMW are consistently ranked at the top for highest annual maintenance costs. That means they're in the shop getting fixed a lot especially after several years of ownership. They're simply not as well made or long lasting like their older versions back in the late 80s/90s/early 00's. Albert Biermann who was former VP of BMW's M line is now in charge of R&D at Hyundai/KIA and was responsible for the Stinger and the N line Veloster. The head of their design department used to work for Bentley hence the reason why the quality of materials inside have improved drastically. Koreans finally wised up and hired the European competition to spice up their vehicles and it's working...very well judging by their recent sales uptick.
@@csamela1987 Jack Wood is obviously a troll, stop feeding it. lol
Absolutely, Toyota and Mazda must be laying awake at night staring at the ceiling wondering how they didn't see it coming. Cheers Richard
Kia is putting S Class technology in ordinary cars and it's incredible
Yup and Kia is working its guts out to win you over in design, technology, driveability. Are all the other car makers working this hard? Cheers Richard
No tech, other than self driving, is really that complex in the grand scheme. The fact that for some reason luxury brands feel it is okay to charge an extra 2-3K for a 360 camera is just because "we are luxury, so we charge w.e we want"
@@TheNacropolice has a lot more tech then just self driving mate. I can't be bothered to list them all for a TH-cam reply, but go to the Kia website and just have a look at alllll the sensors it has. I don't know to be honest if there's even anything it's missing in that regards, this car is stacked
Really??? You think so??? Is that why it lacks 3-zone climate control?!?!?!?!
@Tony Bebich well it would more like be 30k
Mate you are a dead set legend. My wife and I are looking for a new car with our expanding family. You have made this video enjoyable to watch with your funny jokes but also kept it serious explaining everything very well. 10/10 review
Thanks Camomo_10 - Richard likes to make peoples' day, and you've just made his!
Great feedback.
This guy is my new favourite for reviews. Really love his style and keeps me engaged at all times, especially the light humour.
Korean companies are doing great these days. Japanese were great in the 80s 90s and 2000s but not anymore. The Korean manufacturers are absolutely outperforming the old Japanese in many ways. I wasn't the biggest fan of the Korean products before but seriously who is still going for Sony these days when Samsung and LG does so much better in every aspects. Talking about the cars.. Kia, Hyundai and Genesis is far more innovative than Toyata, Mazda, Nissan, and Lexus these days.
The next 20 years will belong to the Korean car companies I think, and then China for possibly the next century... I think. cheers Richard
@@carsguide What a pity there are 2 Koreas...if they were one country they would be a world beating powerhouse.
Totally agree. Specially adding new tech.
and of course Samsung builds cars too..
@T L not at all ..Aussie here
You Mr Berry would have to have one of the best personalities to review cars
Awww... thank you. Also it's Mr Berry. But you can call me anything you like! Thank you, Mr Barry
Hats off to Kia. They have come such an incredibly long way in quality in the last decade, it’s just amazing.
True was going to get a toyota reliable but new not so reliable old kia not reliable but new yes what happen
They sure look good but quality is still bad. After 2,000 miles, you will have rattles that the dealer will not be able to figure out. If only they prioritize their quality before the aesthetics, more people will not hate the brand.
probably one of the most entertaining car reviews I’ve seen !
Honestly one of the best car reviews out there- guy so entertaining and so underated
Spookily enough, I had just been thinking I hadn’t seen a Richard Berry review in quite a while and boom, here you are. Thank you, TH-cam algorithm and CarsGuide.
Absolutely brilliant video! Loving the new Sorento but love the direct,informative but funny delivery too 😂 Keep it up 😎
One of the best car reviews I’ve watched. It’s fun, entertaining and different. Great Video!
I liked the intro and honesty within first minute of the video. I have liked it already. Going to watch full review now. Thanks.
Richard you’re legend mate… I’m hooked up to your reviews these days and I’m searching only for yours in cars guide … funny but informative
I’m obsessed with this car, and I love the walk and talk at the end 😂
Ahaha, really like the way you present the whole story😍, the humour 😂✔️
Just ordered one! Should arrive by December 😁 can't wait. In Europe we get this diesel and a 1.6 230bhp mild hybrid which is the one I'm getting! Greetings from Gibraltar, uk 🇬🇮
ok mate 3 years later I will knock on your door offering 1/3 price you are paying now LOL
A little bit jealous. Cheers Richard
Will get mine, the hybrid in 2 weeks time . Gonna be cool
It's not a mild hybrid, it is a full hybrid.
How was the experience? Could you shsre?
Picked up our GT Line diesel yesterday. 100% agree with the review. It is a great car, loads of tech, great cameras, drives well, seems a little thirsty (getting 9.5km/l in my first day driving around the city), loads of room for us. I drive an AMG GLC43 to and from work. Kia is certainly making it hard to justify buying another Mercedes, BMW or Audi from a quality, cost, warranty and package perspective (albeit I can't give up that GLC43 engine!). Very happy with this car after the first 24 hours.
Fuel economy will improve as once motor has run itself in after a few thousand ks.
No new engine gives best fuel performance when new I found.
Mick Wallace 100%. It’s already down to 8.2L per 100km. Done about 30% highway kms in that. It gets 5.8L sitting on the freeway. Still very happy with the car after having it for three weeks now. Best car dollar for dollar we’ve bought.

Great to hear that..I'm going to be looking at purchasing a GT Line Sorento next year.. I currently own a 2019 Kia Carnival Platinum been very happy with it.. reviews for Sorento so far say definitely a vechile that is value for money...
Happy motoring 👍
Hi JD, how is engine noise in the cabin on this new model?
Cause I sold my 2017 Platinum Diesel because of noise.. what's the idle rpm?
Om Parajuli hi mate. I don’t really mind the diesel but I didn’t drive the previous version. I never rated any Kia until I drove this car. Perfect car for a small family in my view.
KIA AUSTRALIA please bring the 6 seater option and two tone interior!
Brilliant review, one of the best car review available on TH-cam.
Simply the best reviewer down under & details full of informations for buyers... you're awesome bud!👍👌
Love the whimsical approach! Kia's come a long way. Don't need a big SUV these days but can't wait for some of that tech to trickle down to the Cerato 😁
great review Barry..made me giggle a few times there mate..Kia has definitely come a long way
Very slick, Sir Berry. Happy 2021!
Well yesterday I got to be a passenger in this absolutely stunning car and just sitting in the passenger seat was absolutely Blown Away by the room the comfort and for a diesel that car has a lot of power it's such a beautiful car
Hi Berry, nice work with the review mate. Great demeanor. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Bunbury.
One of the best car reviews I have seen. Plus great features especially on the gt model.
Wow, that made my day. Thank you, Richard
Love the way you presented this !
You give a perfect review and cover all the aspects awesomely.....i give 10/10 on your review
Great review, you make me wanna buy this car
Your reviews are great and funny. Love it. Can't believe I am only watching this channel today
Welcome aboard! Stay tuned, Richard and the team have many more cars left to review in the world of cars.
That ending was incredible!
Loved your review!
I own a GT line Sportage and now a picanto gt line s .Kia really are making some fantastic cars.
Richard Berry is hilarious! Usually these car reviews are so robotic and boring. But, I love how casual and entertaining he is. Amazing host!
Good job. I love your review.
excellent presentation... love it
I really like how honest you are and chill with how your viewers will watch the vid hahaha
I like your review, you make it fun!
Man you make the car looks great because of your expression and presentation. Nice bro from first video I subscribed to you
This guy is awesome he does the best reviews in Australia
Enjoyed the presentation. Thanks.👍
Love the enthusiasm
Enjoyable review, Thank you so much
Thanks Richard for the great review . I was about to get a 2021 stinger and your review helped me decide on the Sorento Premier version (NZ) (Gt Line in Australia)
Test drove and buying one today
Many Thanks
I just love this guys review
Great review.
Nice review , deserve more subs
Honestly I do not have the money to afford this but I'm saving to get a demo model next year haha this thing is a beast!!! Awesome review as well mate the Mrs and I haven't seen your vids before but you do a great job, love it not being so serious
Thanks for the time markers.
Very Good Explanation👌
Great review 👏👍🍀
Outstanding review 👏 👌 👍 🙌. Respect 🙏
Loved this review he made something serious and fun and enjoyable
Awesomeee... My wishlist 😁😁
Hope i can change my crv to this Sorento 😍
Was looking for a good suv this year to buy and saw this is the one for me..It’s great when you park this car and if you can’t get out or get in then you can press the button to move forward for you especially when your out doing grocery or lifting heavy things.
So it’s just the cars next to you that have bashed their doors onto yours.
Thanks your sir for the review it's real really amazing car also the specs and you
Excellent review mate.. How about offroad driving? take it for a splash around maybe do an offroad comparison
Good job man 👍
Very good review 🤟
This vehicle impressed me a lot. Well done Kia. U finally nailed it.
Yes, sirreee. cheers Richard
I've never been a fan of Hyundai's or Kia's, but that is one good review. Everything explained well.
Definitely going to get a kia sorrento!
Cool review
I love the ending
I love my 2006, can’t wait to get a new one
I’ve got a 2015 Sonata and the engine blew up at 42,000 miles despite changing the oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
I have a 2019 model with 2.2CRDI and fuel economy is usually 8.4L/100km but if I use the cruise control on the motorway it will go down to 6.3L/100km
That's pretty darn good! Cheers Richard
@@carsguide my dad's Volvo is better though its a 2010 Xc60 2.4D DRIVe manual it does 5.8L/100Km and its a 5 cylinder
Ten years ago I wouldn’t even consider a kia to be my last option and here iam now driving an optima and looking forward on getting this one,
Same!!!have had my optima for 2 yrs no complaints and would love this sexy Sorento!
A better Kia Sorento.
Like your style of review. Stay safe.👍💯
Thanks mate. Stay safe too, brother. cheers Richard
Richard, please compare it with the new Hyundai Pallisade and Toyota Kluger 2021 when they arrive. I look forward to it. You're one of my thrusted reviewers.
I found this review very entertaining - great presenting. Car looks great too - when I bought my DM3 SantaFe it had it all over the Sorrento - now the Sorrento has the upper hand over the ‘newish’ SantaFe. Would be my pic.
Best thing is nice explanation and only one advertisement
PETER SHREYER FROM AUDI HAS DONE HIS MAGIC
Such a fun to watch
kia sorento so cool i like watching ur videos
Wow...Kia has nailed it with this SUV
Judging from the engine noise at start up, it seems like the 2.2L Hyundai R turbodiesel is back. It's such a wonderful engine. Surprising how diesels on Japanese equivalents are still behind overall.
good review
Had these at our dealership in Australia for about a week and a half, still haven't seen a petrol yet or a sport or sport ÷ yet, some pretty cool tech in it compared to some Europeans at a much lower price, parts fitter went to fit a tow bar and brake controller, got a kit for the previous model so probably won't see a tow bar kit for about two months at least, nice too drive on the test drive as well
The intro cracked me up! 🤣🤣🤣
Ha! Thanks Richard
Good review
Great and interesting review.
Could you please make a comparison video between kia Sorrento and ssangyong rexton. Thanks
My 2008 Kia Magentis still drives and looks like a new car. Soon to be updating to a new Kia.
Nice and modern car too
Aussie Mat Watson
Like how carwow hasn’t uploaded this Kia Sorrento
@@hoseasimatupang9914 with the amount Carwow uploads, i imagine it wont be too long hopefully
Hosea simatupang that’s because it’s not in England yet
The Right Hand Drive versions have not yet landed in the UK. Maybe 4th quarter of this year
This channel should feature this guy more
Great review mate, Im waiting for the PIH being a company car driver. After having decided on the Volvo XC40, this has really turned my head and its a tough decision. It could come down to the badge, but in terms of kerb appeal, this has it in buckets. Cheers
So glad I drove one of these badboys I loved it.
Well Presented by Richard. great value for money. this SUV is a winner. my next SUV will be this one!
Great review!! Although the warranty really should be a 10 considering it’s a market leading warranty. I’m really looking forward to your review with the next gen Tucson 👍🏽👍🏽
That's what my wife yelled at me about too! It's hard to give a 10 - something has to be almost perfect and I want Kia to extend the warranty to 10 years. Man, can't wait for the Tucson. Cheers Richard
Yes , I agree, should be a 10
Can you please put this on Facebook, would love to share your review, it’s better than the other reviews that I saw
Are you getting any mild hybrid or phev versions in Australia? Congrats for a surprisingly funny video on a surprisingly good car!!
1. Can't wait to see a new Kia Carnival launching in Australia!!(Will be next year Q1 hopefully)
2. You doing review in Tempe recreation reserve without notify me? I just live next door!!
It is a good car and I own one but if you drive the car by yourself Sorrento is better.
Tempe Reserve! Was wondering when somebody would recognize it! Let me at the Carnival - can't wait! cheers Richard
Better design than the previous one
to me the Sorento has always been a smart car but this just takes things to a whole new level i mean it makes a BMW X3 look crap (almost)
George_tesla_ Downs true 👍🏼
This vehicle is amazing in KR too
We love it
The last one is awesome 🥰🥰🥰
What a fab review, so tired of boring, repetitive and humourless reviews. Glad I watched all the way through.
Kia not bringing the Telluride to the Australian market was such a let down but I now see why and boy... they have not let us down 😍😍😍
Most likely my next car! I´ve had Ceed and Sportage from kia before and they both had over 500000+km driven on them and everything still worked like a charm. Reliable, good to drive and stylish with a great price. I must also add that I live in a country with a lot of snow and freezing tempetures and the Kia´s had no problem working in tough conditions. How can you beat that?
Great review u are so tall
