Purchased an ex demo 2014 Kia Sorento about 3 months ago, almost clocked 10,000kms.. Fuel consumption is amazing for an suv averages about 6.8 litres on long runs and 7.4 on shorter trips (that's the diesel) Very spacious we purchased with the future in mind perfect for kid seats, boot space is huge and can fold down 2nd row to add more room, safe car, not to cluttered on dash easy to use Bluetooth and radio controls, has dual climate air con (big decider for my partner and I haha) reverse camera is great for those tight spots or a lil help wit...Read more

I had to overcome my brand snobbery, but after reading the reviews decided to make the plunge on a 2011 Kia Sorento Platinum. Almost 20K on the clock now. Our diesel automatic has impressed us a great deal. Very smooth gearbox, lots of torque, fantastic fuel economy, even when towing 1600kg van (without using the cruise control). Engine is very responsive, which is handy when overtaking those road trains with the caravan in tow. The suspension is firm. I haven't made my mind up if I like the suspension or not. The vehicle corners and handles we...Read more

I own a Kia Sorento 2010 SLi which has just completed 90ks. Excellent vehicle on most fronts but has had its share of issues. Warranty claims include, sump pan oil leak at 30ks, heat sensor in transmission failure at 60ks, followed by pan oil leak for 30ks & finally fixed after two years of complaint. Oil leak in tappet cover and timing gear cover. Passenger seat belt buckle failure. Hole in drivers seat back material. Cargo blind failure. The dealership has been very good in agreeing to correct the issues when raised by me. Warranty not a prob...Read more

Bought our demo (5,000k's) 2015 Sorento Platinum Diesel a couple of weeks ago and have been in heaven since! Never thought I would end up with a Kia, but after reading all the reviews, decided to take one for a test drive and loved it. Was a little concerned that the side and back visibility was going to be an issue (compared with my previous Holden station wagon which had brilliant visibility from every side), but the big side mirrors (love those big side mirrors!!) and reversing camera certainly make up for it.
Platinum model has all the be...Read more

We bought a 2010 Platinum as a demo and had it for nearly 4 years before trading up to a Prado. It was a very good car which towed our Jayco pop up eagle effortlessly with the gutsy diesel engine and was very confortable. The suspension was a bit firm as we felt almost every bump, something that was noticable once we test drove a Prado which was a more comfortable ride but I'm told Kia have addressed that issue since. Up til then it was the best car I've owned. As much as the Prado is a nice big rig, it's overkill for what we need.
We are ser...Read more

I tossed up between a Subaru Outback Diesel and the Sorento. They were both the same price. Previously had a Subaru outback, 400,000km, 13 years and no problems. Car still nice to drive and using little oil when traded. The Sorento is not as refined as the Subaru but it is spacious, comfortable, very economical (7.4l/100 around the city, 6.3 on the highway) and has good torque. Subaru is better regards quietness, smoothness and in a higher league for roadholding. Things I didn't like about the Subaru were the interior styling and lack of space....Read more

Best in its class... 7-Seater... Most fuel efficient in its class... Amazing Features... Love the smooth drive and it's the most affordable of all SUVs that can seat 7!!! Great suspension, better than Kluger and more responsive than both Toyota Kluger & Mazda CX-9. Am very happy. Have owned a Honda Odyssey previously and they are a nice car too, and I rate them the best people mover... but Sorento SLi is a great 7-seater SUV package. I bought a 2WD but the AWD is the slickest of them all. So if you think Korean cars are not up to the mark on th...Read more

I spent a couple of weeks going around car yards and surfing the net looking for a 7-seater diesel with good fuel economy and leather seats. (I'm sick of constantly filling my 2001 3.8l v6 commodore).

I looked at Toyota, Jeep, Mazda cx9, Territory, VW, Hyundai, Captiva, Dodge... but they were all wrong: either too expensive, not big enough, too big, wrong engine (v6 petrol).

I was about to give up when I saw a Kia dealership and thought, why not? I test drove a 2011 Sorento Premium and was immediately hooked. I cleared the purchase with t...Read more

Purchased 6 months ago from Bedggood Kia in Victoria drove home to Queensland 2000k filled up twice (unbelievable). Traded Honda Legend (good car) this is better. Power surprising no problems in passing - comfort (cooling seats) in Queensland everyone should have this feature. Bluetooth just so easy to use sound system great. Plenty of room and seating comfy. Holds (not a sports car) road well and rides well have used all wheel drive - functions well but would no take to Fraser Island general 4 wheel drive off road situations ok but need to be ...Read more
