Whilst many of the 7 seater cars i test drove were quite heavy in the stearing, the sorento felt just like a medium size sedan. It has quite a luxury feel inside with the leather seating and trims. The main winner for me as a family of 5 with 3 small children is that i can fit 3 car seats across the middle seat with ease. Whilst the two extra seats in the back row are fantastic when taking other kids with me to after school activities with the seats laid flat the boot capacity is amazing. We can pack everything we need plus the kitchen sink when going away.

Moved from a carols to the Sorrento upon the birth of my daughter. Love how it drives like a small car and is so good on fuel (diesel). Very quiet car, however the warning systems can be very loud and annoying (red light camera etc)... however I need to work out how to turn these off.

Great family car I have four kids and the 7 seats are perfect. There is enough room for an extra person. Very fuel efficient. I like how it does a scan of the car before you drive it it is very accurate it told me my air pressure was low so for a single lady this is really great

Great performer on road, Highway drive provides me a great fuel economy too.
Apple play not available even in the top most model (GT version), Only disappointment I have!
Never an issue and the 7-year warranty is the best in market anyway. Interiors dual tone could be extended into other colours to attract more attention.

I have now owned five Sorentos the current one is the best so far, cannot find fault. There is nothing about this vehicle that I do not love. Fab car. So far no problems whatsoever. Running cost is not to important, but seems good for my lifestyle . Thanks Kia well done.

We had looked at several SUVS for our family of 5. We wanted a 7 seater as we still have 2 children in car seats. The Sorrento stood out a mile from all of the competition. We are so happy with our purchase we have the 7 seater platinum diesel. Very economical on fuel, beautiful to drive and I love love the heated seats. It is a pleasure to drive and doesn't feel like a huge tractor.

I have been driving this stylish baby for 2 years now. No problems so far and why worry when the services are great. Excellent performance, great pick up and speed(few speeding fines :( ). Running cost is very low, couldn't be happier. I am driving Sorento Diesel, with $70 fuel, it can go up to 650km mileage, with this sort of consumption I am only fueling up twice a month.
The back seat legroom which is the 6th and 7th seaters are great, in fact, the best in the market. I haven't come across another 7 seaters with such spacious legroom. The back seats can be used by adults as well.
It is a reliable, spacious, comfortable and stylish family car. Love it !!

Driving experience is great. Comfortable, low road noise, handling excellent.
Dashboard configuration is getting better as kia grows in stature, but still a bit plasticy in certain areas. Going on how far they've come already it won;t be to long before it is a close to perfection as possible.
Reliability is fantastic and Kia now has 7 year warranty which is hard to beat. A little thirsty early on until its run in, but extremely economical on the highway.

Coming from a 1.8l hatchback, I am very satisfied with the Sorento's handling, acceleration and power. The cabin is very comfortable and quite, in fact quieter than my petrol hatchback. On the safety, after getting one of ANCAP's highest score I am confident that my two toddlers are safe in this car. Having two toddlers, the cargo can swallow all their things, plus it has the convenient of having 7 seats. The only let down is there is no apple CarPlay support, but still i will give it a 5*

This car is very good value. Comfortable, luxurious, good tech, great size inside. I had the 2013 SLi Sorento for 3 years and when it came time to replace it, I had no hesitation getting another one. I have Sunset Red colour (more of a brown than red really).
The new model is definitely bigger in the 2nd and 3rd rows, while the boot is much bigger with all seats deployed.
Only issue is the sat nav seems to be tempermental in recognizing touch input so far.

Greatest car I've ever owned. Had it now for 8 months and still a dream to drive.
Love the heated and air conditioned seats.
Love the comfy seats.
Love the driving experience
Love the sun roof
Love 7 year warranty

Hate the fact that gps struggles to find satellites for time.
Hate the fact it doesn't have dab radio
The only let down is the gps and radio

Hi Julien
Agree with everything you say. We purchased our Sorento Platinum in June 2015 so have had it 12 months now. We had the earlier model Kia Sorento Platinum and whilst that only had 14,000lms on the clock we had to have the new model with all the additional bells and whistles. We are only a couple so it is probably a bit big for us but we love it anyway.
