Thanks for taking the time to show us the car. Next time you take it out for a test drive for a video review could you please drop the back round music so we can how quiet the car is.
+Tanya Taylor Holy cow Tanya, that is a loaded question. There are a ton of variations this year, including a hybrid version that is coming. Right now you have front wheel and all wheel drive version of the LX trim level, S trim level, EX trim level, SX trim level, and Exline trim. There are also a few different engine and transmission combinations as well. As more of these come in, I will try to do more videos. Stay tune and subscribe for more info. Thanks.
@@HoosierAutoGuy thanks, I was wondering because when I've been looking i saw versions with all digital cluster and that's the one I would want but then I see there's ones that aren't all digital so I was confused
@@HoosierAutoGuy okay thanks for the info yeah the ambient lighting would be surprising if it's not there that's why it has those little scale patterns below the passenger airbag and on the door handle Sill it looks really neat with the lighting....but if it's not there that's surprising...:/
@@normgilbertson3975 yeah so I just went to a local dealer that said they had the SX in stock showed up and it hadn't even been delivered I saw the other they are bones models and was not impressed it just reminded me of a upscale Dodge journey??? Yeah.... So had a good experience at Hyundai dealer I personally like the 2020 over the 2021 and the fact I can get a limited 2.0 awd with tow hitch roof rails and all this other junk for like 33k out the door... Hard to pass up
Per KIA Features pdf, where are the following items that are present on the outside the USA Sorento, 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!!!! Really want a Calligraphy Hybrid for ALL the KIA missing features.............
No memory seats, no wireless android auto in the 10 inch infotainment, no HUD, no any color ambient lighting, no remote parking. As usual, the US market gets the shaft. You had me KIA, YOU HAD ME and now you lost me. No way I am paying 45k for a car that doesn't at least have memory seats. What on earth were you thinking? What's even worse is you get wireless android in the lesser 8 inch infotainment model. For the record, the 10 inch Telluride doesn't get wireless android auto either. I cannot understand why KIA would do this. Just a rotten shame.

+Ken A sure thing. I am waiting for an EX to come in.
Dang it Jim!!!! Can you move Illinois closer to Virginia so we can make a deal on that baby??
Sure thing. I wish I could for ya. 🤣
Was just in Woodbridge VA looking at one. They're NICE!
+Loskidd82 if you get one, you will not regret it.
Great review Jim! How is the ride height compared to the Telluride? Do you sit equally high?
Thank you. I appreciate it. -- No, the Telli sits a bit higher. But the Sorento still gives a great view of the road.
I love your reviews on these. Can you do a EX if you guys have
+BhodMonDezz we don’t have one yet. But when we do, yes, I will be happy to. Thank you for the love. 😎
We finally got an EX today.

How many different variations does the new Sorento come in and what are the major differences?

DAMN, that is very sharp , kia has come a looooong way !!👊👍
+SRT xxx yes it has. It is turning a lot of heads lately.
Thanks for showing this, so Heads up display? Ambient lighting? This is in all the other regions, making sure it's in the prestige.
+swissmrkc no heads up display and I will have to check on the ambient lighting.

Does it have the interior mood lighting like the telluride
Yes would love to know this also if has HUD..?
+Patrick Renick I will have to check on interior lighting and will try to get back to you.
Thanks Jim. Just wondering if the rear turning light indicators are amber in colour (like in the Korean version) or is it red?
+RRSEALS I don’t remember honestly. I will take a look tomorrow for you.
great car!
+Dinesh Thangavel we think so. 😀
Very nice. Does it have driver’s memory seating as well?
Does this top line model come with wireless Apple CarPlay?
+Kevin Scott Not yet. Not sure when it’s coming. We do have it on the 8” screen on the K5. So I’d imagine it’s in the works.
Hi, just saw your video, i love the car.... i am in Malaysia but am an african, if i buy the car, can you ship it to my country?
+Chika Kema sorry for the delay. No, we cannot ship out of the country. Sorry.
