2014 Kia Sorento Review

Are you vehicle shopping before the holiday trips? Are you looking for a family friendly crossover? The 2014 Kia Sorento may just be the right one for you.

With an MPG of 20/26 the 2014 Kia Sorento is the way to go for a crossover. 

For my test drive I received the 2014 Kia Sorento SX All Wheel Drive. 
Living here in MI, it's important to have the all wheel drive with the harsh winters we have. 

The steering wheel has mounted controls to make driving easier. 
 The center console/dash is really nice and sleek looking. I love the time displayed up on top, makes it so your eyes don't gravitate away from the windshield area as much.
 Touch screen with sirius radio 
 It also had navigation which was really easy to navigate as well. 

Features like the double panoramic sunroof
 and the rear cupholders, made driving this crossover a breeze.

The Kia Sorento is a 7 seater. With 2 in the front, 3 in the middle and 2 in the rear, it's large enough for all your family and friends. 
3 seater in the middle
Leg room in the second row. 
The second row has a handle and it slides the seat forward and flips the front down for easy access to the third row.
I was surprised by the leg room in the 3rd row. Maybe not enough for a full grown adult, but plenty of room for a child.

My favorite part was the cargo space though
This is with the 3rd row up and in the seating position
 There is a jack in the trunk, but there's also some storage room in there as well.
This is with the 3rd row down. There is a lot of storage room back there.


I also really liked that the rear doors had a screen over them to block out sun

Overall if you're looking for an affordable, fuel efficient crossover, then the Kia Sorento may be the right one for you. I would recommend this vehicle to anybody. It was a dream to drive and is really safe as well. It has Front Active Headrests, Advanced Airbag System and  a reinforced body to ensure you're safe on the road. It also features Electronic Stability Control to help keep you on course and Hill Assist Control to prevent it from rolling backwards if you stop on a steep hill. 

With a retail price starting at $24,100 this vehicle is definitely affordable. 


*Disclaimer, I received a Kia Sorento for a 1 week test drive. All opinions here are 100% my own and I was not compensated to write this post, other than receiving the vehicle.

  21. Nice looking car. Your lucky you got to review it.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I really like the 3rd row seat option. When your driving around your children and their friends, this is a must! Also, the gas mileage isn't bad for an SUV.

  23. What a gorgeous car! The dual sunroof is awesome, and I love that big touch screen.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Wowza! I want that touch screen!!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. This Kia looks like a great family car! I like that it can seat 7 people and that it has a lot of storage space when the rear seats are folded down.

  26. I wish I had looked at this car before I bought my mini van. The mini van is such a pain to drive (so big!). I think I would feel much more comfortable in a Kia Sorento.

  29. We have a Kia Soul and love it..It makes a very comfy ride on long trips and this one looks nice also :)

  30. I'm kind of loving the double panoramic sunroof. We've been considering a Sorento for our next vehicle - we're a family of 6, so we need enough seating for everyone, but we want the special mommy and daddy features too!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I am impressed with how far Kia has come in their car production. The Sorento sounds great.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Kia's used to be a bit of a joke with people, but they've come a long way. Nice review!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Kia's have really come up in the world!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Oh that looks so nice! I got a Kia Sedona minivan back in 2005 and you know....I have not had to take it to the shop yet for repairs! Just stuff like breaks and tires! I will probably look to trade some point down the road...this might be a great option for me for a change! I WILL buy another Kia for sure!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I need the space that this has! When we are in the market for another vehicle this will most likely be our next car :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. At first i was thinking that is a great car, but what a small trunk and its gonna be a pain to have to remove the seats...but wait they fold! How wonderful. I also really like that the emergency button is easy to find the screen. I always try to recall where it is on my Tucson, just in case, this is clear here.

    ReplyDelete
  37. we will be in the market in a couple of months bc we have a third child on the way! this car would be great! im surprised of how good it was!

    ReplyDelete
  38. For an inexpensive, non-luxury car, the Kia looks great! It has style and great options.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Wow looks roomy! and i like the double panoramic sun roof!!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. That's a huge sun roof! I like the rear sun shades too.

    ReplyDelete
  41. This vehicle is nice, but I'm left wondering if the space in the back of the car when the third row is up is enough to store a stroller for mall runs and zoo visits with kids.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Great car, perfect for my growing family :)

  43. I am passing this on to my Mom. She needs a larger car to accommodate my family of 5 when we visit for the summer and for all of her gardening supplies. This seems like such a great fit!

  44. Beautiful car, but only in my dreams!

  45. I love the Kia Sorrento, looks so nice and I am sure it rides like a dream. I am driving now a 2006 Toyota that needs to keep running for at least another 5 years. That is how long I need to save to get another newer car.

    ReplyDelete
  46. We'd never really considered a Kia before, now I may!

    ReplyDelete

  52. My brother works at Kia , so he sells a lot of these. I really like the great features like the double panoramic sunroof. So cool!

    ReplyDelete
  53. We almost bought one recently!

    ReplyDelete
  54. thats pretty cool. i hope they get one in a 8 seater.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I love the sunroof! This is the kind of car I always wanted to have. However, I am pregnant with baby #3 and I am not sure if it would fit all of the seats we need. I still love it though!

  56. We have an older Kia Sorento but it still drives great. However, the new Sorento appears to have a lot more room and some great new features. Great vehicle.
