Wow 2017 Kia Sorento

2017 Kia Sorento - It’s hard to imagine that there’s a more under-the-radar vehicle for sale in America than the Kia Sorento certainly among those that sell more than 100,000 copies annually. Which is a shame because, as we learned during our 40,000-mile test of this Sorento, it’s a practical and wieldy three row SUV.

(A confession: We sometimes forgot this thing’s name while it was here, calling it the Sportage Kia’s smaller two-row crossover—about a third of the time. Oops.)

We’re a shallow lot, so we started our Sorento ordering process in late 2015 by seeking out versions without shameful-looking wheels. These turned out to be the top two trims, the SX and SXL. We stopped shy of the SXL and its upgraded nappa leather upholstery, ventilation for the front seats, and heated rear seats because we had already inflated the Sorento’s base price from about $26,000 to something like $40K. Because we wanted to look cool. Driving a three-row Kia SUV.

But the Sorento SX does look nice, a rather simply sculpted product of a German-led design studio that wouldn’t look out of place with a European badge in its grille. (That said, some of us felt the design was a bit too simply sculpted, a factor perhaps causal to the nameplate’s relative anonymity.) It’s not as if we suffered by choosing the SX; it has pretty much Kia’s entire arsenal of features as standard.

A full rundown is available in our introductory story, but highlights include an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a third-row seat, proximity entry and start, a 7.0-inch screen in the gauge cluster, and those sweet, sweet 19-inch wheels.

To the all-wheel-drive SX’s $40,795 base price we added just a few minor accessories to bring the total to $42,180. That’s a tall number for a vehicle that starts at less than $26K, but it’s par for the course in a well-kitted mid-size, three-row SUV. Thus equipped, our Ebony Black Kia rolled onto our parking lot.
