I had to have a new clutch fitted to my 2022 Kia CEED (AKA Hyundai i30 here in UK) under warranty last year and came across a great guy in the service dept who really knew his stuff and was fairly complimentary about the reliability of the newest Kia's overall, but he did describe the DCT transmissions as "absolutely horrific" and best avoided. He also admitted he drives a 2018 VW Golf. Another great review by the way!
The one of the few brands that had timing chains that actually lasted was Saab. Had 2 of those. On the 900 the noise it made was rough but that's just how it was. No need to actually worry about timing problems. These days I would take belt over chain anytime. Seems like the belt in some engines lasts longer than many chains. And at least in older Volvos changing the belt was really not an issue.
Agree as well. I can appreciate the idea of making a 300,000 kms maintenance free, disposable vehicle, but I miss when they cared about NVH. These timing chains and direct injectors clacking away make everything sound so cheap. With these 8 speed transmissions now, they could reduce output by 20% and would still be more than adequate. Would trade a bit of output for refinement.
My current car has a timing chain that I generally don't think about. But I do prefer cars with belts, because then it has a defined service interval and is relatively simple to replace. With chains it's all a bit 'whatever'.
Your mechanical reviews of vehicles are one of the best. Most youtube videos dont review the mechanical aspects of vehicles which can tell the users how well built a vehicle is.

Great review for a home mechanic such as myself. Recently purchased my first ever Hyundai. your review gives me an excellent background of what I need to watch for on our Palisade as the ownership years go on. Great it’s on the electric e-brake and monitoring engine oil levels. Many thanks!!!!
My 2021 EX with the 2.5T-GDI & AWD is my very first new car purchase. It still holding up better as I'm nearing 25,000 miles. Seeing the prototypes running around Nürburgring is part of why I bought the Sorento. I told my mom I wanted to move on to my next car and use my employer's purchase program because she wasn't happy at our local Dodge dealer (3/2018, not much changed there, if not worse) screwing up the financing. I did takeoff that lower front aero-pan during my first oil change not noticing the access cover for the oil drain plug.
Happy to see they switched to dual injection, made the catalytic converter a bit harder to steal and that air filter set up! Everyone should adopt that!
Chains last well if the oil gets changed every 3-5k miles (183k on mine but the car's not valuable enough to spend on now). If you follow manufacturers recommended 10k+ long service intervals then good luck 🤞
chains use to last.. Nissan started using chains in the 90's spinning over 8K RPM in a SR20ve without a issue now a days the tensioners a junk and every manufacture is using that silent chain which seems to wear more and susceptible to any contamination got to change oil on time religiously.. plainly they've cheaped out why chains are having problems now a days
I have had the same conclusion with timing belts yeah it's kind of a pain in the ass and you have to do it every 100,000 miles but it's better than removing the engine from the bay every 200,000 mi to replace a timing component or chain

Thank you very much for the video, well explained ! I have a kia sportage 1.6 crdi 2022, I'm really tired of the dct7 transmission it's a pain to driver...I'm starting to think about selling it and getting something else, what do you recommend for a family car ? By the way it has now 53000km do i need to change the dct fluid ? Cheers from France.
Could you please also review the Mitsubishi Outlander Phev 2023? It has an interesting drivetrain that would make it interesting for an under the hood video.
I have this engine in a Kia Stinger. No oil consumption at all so far. I think the piston slap and oil consumption is for the 2.0T, which is a different engine. Can't speak for the transmission, mine a traditional AT. Pulls very strong but also is relatively efficient, especially on the highway. I did not know it was also port injected, made my evening.
I like your car reviews because they are different from those touching car materials and complaining about screens and interior lighting. This is a car not a laptop
15:02 Hyundai and Kia actually don’t use foot sensors to open the tailgate. The proximity sensors detect the key and you simply stand at the back and it will beep a few times before it opens. If you don’t walk away after a few seconds it opens. That connector may be for an option not available in the US or a tow hitch
The cheapest new Sorento is 47490 Euros where I live. That includes a 1.6 TDI powerhouse with a 6-speed AT. For that sort of money you can get a 3-year old Audi or BMW. I am just amazed at what people are capable of buying these days.
Observations: - I see 2 pipes on the port fuel rail. Is this a return type system? - They changed the design of the cover for the windshield washer fluid. The old type was a major clue when identifying Kia/Hyundais at a glance. - Is it just me, but turbo engines don't seem to rev as snappily as naturally aspirated while at standstill.
The new dual scroll turbochargers spool up much quicker than some of the older models. Our 2.5L turbocharged Sorento is very responsive from an idle and makes more torque than most V6 engines.
@@speedkar99 You should do more of those, I think it would be helpful for people. For example, to know that there is port injection added is very good for avoiding future carbon buildup issues. Still shows manufacturers listen ... sometimes 🙂
what I learned from this review is that its a good children's mall crawler that dumps oily air into the turbo, gumming it up....they better include a toothbrush for cleaning
6:10 You don't need to use the Kia Diagnostics System (KDS) to bleed the air out of the system, the air bubbles will bleed out manually from the coolant reservoir when you put the heat on, just make sure to monitor and fill for 10 minutes. Also at 7:39 , the fill hole is your tranmission control oil, which is a different oil from the 75W oil you fill the dual clutch up with on the side of the transmission. Also, you can drain the hydraulic oil from the front of the transmission, and if its warm, you should probably expect around 2.3 quarts, if its cold, it should be 2.5 - 2.6.
What a world we live in. Gas cars are becoming as light and full of plastic as possible, and electric (junk) cars are trying to be the heaviest things on the road.
@@speedkar99 we bought a used 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe and the engine started knocking at 80k miles. The local Hyundai dealer replaced the engine and gave us a rental car for almost a month and didn’t cost us a dime. The Santa Fe is still running strong at 170k miles. They also repainted the hood for free when I showed them the way rock pecks would cause big pieces of paint to pop off. It looked like to me that something was wrong with the primer not adhering to metal.
Pretty sad, I watched guy pour 3 quarts of oil in his previous gen sorrento while waiting for the warranty tow truck to show up. He said this was the second engine he would get replaced under warranty and it was clattering with some serious rod knock. Did the Theta 2 vehicles not have any low oil indicators?
Just imagine the cars that COULD be buildt today if they really wanted to? Skip the bells and whistles and use the best materials where needed, not in the seat adjustments. A modern day 2CV or VW Beetle, built to last and take a beating, you would need to buy one car and it would outlive you.
I wonder what KIA's business strategy is here? They provide the longest car warranties of all the car makers at a whopping 7 years and yet they consistently produce some pretty shit cars.
@@aden3113 I think the engine block machining screw up had a lot to do with Hyundai and Kia giving the 10 year 100k mile warranty.

They need to switch from DCT transmssion to 8-speed torque converter transmission. No one will care about 1-2 mpg more or 0.1-0.6 seconds faster from 0-60. Customer care about reliability

I definitely agree with the timing chain disclaimer. Just because you have a timing chain, doesn’t mean you can neglect maintenance.
They used to made timing chains that would last as the engine itself (with proper oil change intervals, naturally). Times have changed, I guess...
