Not only is this the best Kia Sorento ever, but it proved itself to be a worthy rival to compact crossovers and bigger seven-seat SUVs alike.
Nevertheless, the Sorento remained reliable during its stay. The only thing resembling an unexpected issue was a subtle yet persistent creaking noise that began emanating from the headliner as the odometer neared 20,000 miles.On to the good stuff. We never got over the Sorento's crisp, angular styling. It's incomparably improved over the previous Sorento, and to our eye one of the better-looking vehicles in its segment, especially in our test vehicle's Crystal Beige hue.
—for unfussy physical knobs and switches, but the capacitive buttons mixed in worked as intended, too. Settling in was eased by the little bins on the center console, and getting out facilitated by the easy-pull door handles—Kia thought through the details, including those stylish geometric air vents. We have no gripes about our $42,190 SX-trim Sorento's, although a driver-information display larger than 4.2 inches would've been nice. Maybe it'll arrive in the mid-cycle update.
Whether the second and third rows were upright or folded, the Sorento readily adapted to the situation. Its wide-opening rear doors made access a breeze, as did the super-simple folding operation of the second-row captain's chairs. Drivers who plan to frequently pack their SUV to capacity should probably size up, but with ventilation and USB ports the Sorento's far-back seats produced few complaints. Our crossover's enormous panoramic moonroof was a favorite feature for riders-along.
Then there was actually driving the Sorento. During its evaluation at our 2021 SUV of the Year contest one judge called it"," a sentiment that held true through our long-term test. With sensitive steering and nimble reflexes, the Sorento had that oft-praised attribute of feeling smaller than it is. Undulating pavement could set the ride afloat slightly, but the Sorento's overall handling verve made it enjoyable to pilot.
