2017 Kia Sorento ReviewThe all new 2017 Kia Sorento is the most up to date line of vehicles made by Kia and a new addition to the Sorento models as a crossover SUV type. The newer version has had some changes added to it, mainly by adding more smartphone capabilities, one of them including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functions. Better headlights and automatic emergency braking systems are another new feature that has been added to the recent model. We hope that you enjoy our 2017 Kia Sorento Review.
Performance
The overall performance of the new 2017 Kia Sorento vehicle is quite similar to how the previous models have been designed over the years. For instance, the Sorento has a 6-speed shiftable automatic transmission and a front wheel drive train to keep it balanced when on the road. The engine contains inline 4 cylinders, though may also be fitted for V6 and can generate between a 185 and 290 horsepower rating while riding along at 6,000 wheel revolutions per minute. It can also generate between 178 and 260 feet per pounds of total torque. As far as the fuel economy goes, the crossover SUV runs on regular unleaded gasoline and has 24 combined miles per gallon as a rating, with 21 MPGs when on the city and 28 on the highway.
Interior features
Performance is not the only thing that will attract more people to the new 2017 Kia Sorento. The special interior features have also been changed and re-formatted for future drivers. Many of the features are made for the comfort of the driver and passengers, starting with the fact that the SUV can hold a total of five people, though other models can hold up to seven of them. Cruise control is one of the standard features that comes installed into the vehicle.
The cruise control settings, along with the audio settings, are all mounted onto the steering wheel, which comes with its own electric power steering capability. Air conditioning is a pretty standard feature, though some models also have climate control and interior air filtration added into the mix. The front seats are built in as bucket seats and the driver's seat is completely height adjustable.
Safety
Safety is always an important aspect, whether it's a Kia or any other crossover SUV. Child passengers require the most safety and this takes the form of installed child seating anchors and rear door child safety locks. We love the emergency braking assist feature in the vehicle which pairs well with the stability and traction control added into the mix. Even better, a remote anti-theft alarm system is also included in the event that someone tries to illegally enter or cause damage to the vehicle.
The 2017 Kia Sorento is a solid choice for your next vehicle and all of extras makes this car feel upgraded plus it handles beautifully when driving. We hope that you enjoyed our 2017 Kia Sorento Review. There is a reason that they call it the Perfect Getaway Vehicle.
Our family was taken to Lake Tahoe as part of the 2017 Kia Sorento #SorentoFamily Winter Adventure. We got to drive Kia's in the snow among other things and really test these cars out! Think these two below loved the snow or what?
I have two friends that both have different versions of Kia, but I don’t like either one of them. The doors seems really cheap and I can hear a lot of road noise.
WHat an absolutely fantastic looking car, I would love to give it a try myself I have to admit.
I’ve been eyeing the Sorento a lot lately. It has a ton of space, and I like the styling, as well.
I own a 2012 Sorento and absolutely love it. This newer model looks like a glorious upgrade option!
I have a Kia Sedona! I think this Sorento is beautiful. I love all of the options!
The 2017 Kia Sorento looks like a perfect road trip vehicle. I would be able to pack all the things I need in it for a trip no problem and still have room for shopping.
I think the Kia brand is so well done. Their vehicles are top notch and are always packed with great features. This Sorento looks like a sweet ride!
I’ve been looking at a Kia Sorento for a while now. It seems like the perfect car for me, a mom of a crazy boy who will be exploring the mountains of Colorado. I’m so glad to have came across your review!
Wow I do love the KIAs that are coming out these days! I think I am most impressed by the cool looking grill on that one! Nice!
I love the new Kia Sorentos! I actually test drove one the last time I went car shopping!!
I love how sleek and stylish the Kia Sorento is. I will definitely keep this in mind when I am on the search for a new car that can keep up with my growing family.
The Sorento is a value-oriented ride for those seeking to avoid the minivan stigma. A six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive are standard; all-wheel-drive models can tow up to 5000 lb. Its really impressive!
Such a pretty rugged SUV. I heard good reviews about this car. And price is competitive also.
One of my good friends has a Kia Sorrento and she loves it. She gets good mileage and has been very pleased. Looks like your experience was positive, too.
The result is a family car that is spacious, well appointed, nice to drive, and even has some limited off-road ability.
The 2017 Kia Sorento sounds amazing and I would love to own this vehicle. I have never owned a Kia before but I have always loved them. Hopefully my next vehicle can indeed be a Kia. Thanks for sharing this awesome car.
This sounds like an amazing car. I love all the features. I used to own a Kia sedan before; I loved that car.
That looks like a very nice car. I could use something like this. I want to get something bigger for my family.
This Sorento is one gorgeous car! I love how roomy it is.
We’ve been talking about getting a new car, and for some reason, this was NOT on our list. It is now, though!
That sounds like a really sweet ride. I have always heard really great things about Kias!
I love these things! The Sorento really does have all you’d need for travel! I like the sound of the new safety features!
I’ve driven the 2016 KIA Sorento and I loved it. I’m sure the 2017 is even better.
We just bought a Kia and it’s amazing! Ours isn’t a Sorento, but we did look at Sorentos.
My first car was a KIA and my new car is also a KIA. It’s not Sorento though, not yet anyway, but I love my KIA. 🙂
This looks like a great vehicle with a lot of space. I will keep this in mind the next time I go car shopping.
I love the design of the Sorento but had never really seen the inside! The inside looks great as well! Definitely a nice looking vehicle!
We love to take road trips and I think the Kia Sorento will be a great option for our next vehicle. It seems so roomy and stylish!
I drive the Kia Sorento last year and loved it! It’s a little smaller than my SUV, but has as much room. How’d they do that? Better mileage, too.
This car looks great!! Love the features! I wish I can drive a Kia Sorento one of these days!!
This looks like a great vehicle. It has lots of room.
I really like the pictures you used for your post.
I am in the market for a new car and that Kia really looks like a great car. Good on gas and a lot of great smartphone features. I will look into it in a dealer near my neck of the woods.
What a nice ride! it’s the perfect size and looks sharp… I’d love to drive this into my garage one day for keeps : )
I love how sleek these cars look. Not only do they look nice but they do some hard work!
Those safety features are going to be really nice for driving in the rain and snow. Our cars always struggle when we head up north to visit family.
I am really loving the looks of the Sorento. We will probably be in the market for a new car in about a year and will def. be looking at this!
That is a pretty slick ride. Kia has been gaining a lot of ground in the vehicle reputation. It is a nice change.
My friend just bought a 2017 Kia Sorento and loves it. I am excited to go on a short road trip this weekend in it. It looks so luxurious.
I love Kia cars!! This Sorento looks like a great family car.
We have an older model Sorrento ourselves. I love the new upgrades and would love to take this for a spin to compare.
I don’t know much about cars, but this one looks nice. I may have to make the husband take me test driving cars this weekend.
Kia’s are really coming through with their fleet of cars lately! I really enjoyed seeing them up close and personal at the Chicago Auto Show earlier this year.
What an awesome car! I could totally see myself driving the Kia Sorento!
The Sorrento sounds like a great choice for families. Kia has come a long way since back in the day, they are now streamlines and sporty looking with lots of features.
The 2017 Kia Sorento sounds like a great vehicle to drive. I’ll have to consider checking it out when I’m ready to trade in my car.
Handsome looking car! The interiors are so plush and I love all the new features too. I would take this Sorento into consideration if we are in the market for a new car.
The next vehicle I am going to buy is this one. I could have really used the automatic emergency braking system earlier this year.
I love my KIA vehicles. They are the perfect size for our family and they are mega affordable.
I love this Kia Sorento! Sad that I am not in the market for a new vehicle, but I do love the interiors. The controls on the steering wheel is awesome and a height adjustable driver’s seat is so great! To top it all, the gas mileage is so good.
It’s a car that you want to have when you go on a lot of road trips with your family or friends. I love that it’s perfect for the outdoors!
My husband and I have been thinking of getting a new car. We both love to travel and go on road trips together. This would be a really good car to have.
I have been on the hunt for a cute mid size SUV and this one at the top of my list. I really need to get out and test and drive one. The Sorento has some great features!
As a lifelong New Yorker, the one thing I never learned to do was drive. Parking is the price of a house here and the traffic struggle is super real. I’m pretty sure I don’t have the patience, all cars look pretty to me! But I love being the passenger, it’s the one place I am happy giving up control so I can catch up on work, listen to music or NAP! LOL 🙂
I really love the look of these vehicles! So pretty. I want to give one a test drive and see if I like it.
