Drove to Chamonix from UK in my 2015 Sorento and got 5 blokes ( 2 six foot+), their gear, 4 snowboards on roof, enough food for 5 days and it took the lot. It dealt with torrential rain, no space complaints from passengers, no power issues (possibly around 35kg off full loading weight) and got around 35 to the gallon. Standard heated front and rear seats on KX3 were a godsend driving back to the apartment from the slopes. Ive done this trip twice now and its a great vehicle for it.

I don't get it why Kia and Hyundai decided not to offer a 5 meters SUV in Europe. They have it in USA and Canada (Teluride and Palisade) but won't bring them to Europe. Why? Volvo XC90 sels like hot bread and the germans has full size SUV and now even Ford and Lexus. I would like a Palisade or Teluride but now I have to look to the new Explorer.
5m SUVs are the only to consider if you want 7seats. Otherwise you have to choose between people and stuff. You can't get both!

-carwow 7: 31 I think you have to actually be in motion to see the speed that you set the Cruise control for. It is not a mystery as you suggest here. It is displayed. And What-s even more cool is that once you set a Cruise speed, and if there is a vehicle in front of you that is not allowing you to maintain that speed, the car will automatically apply the brakes to slow you down.

Great car however needs a more modern engine. Also the switching off of all electrics (particularly windows and stereo) after a few minutes is a little annoying as is the need to switch on the auto hold and auto hand brake every journey (corporate ass covering no doubt) adds to my frustration and panic when you forget and you find yourself creeping forward into the car in front!

I get so angry as I sit here without a car as my Kia Sorento. Sits in a yard with the engine gone it's only 11years old and done 106000 miles. No one can fix it no one will buy it no one will take it and no one will wreck it. at present I can't afford a car and at 80 I desperately need a car so don't talk Kia to me see how many. Kiss were recalled?

This is definitely the car that I like. But what did Meagan have to do with the commercial and Megan and Harry bad joke. I see why they left! For a new life- yes with challenges but the jokes are just Ridiculous people just will not let these people live their life so sad wish Harry and Megan the best with your beautiful baby boy

My family has a 2015 Sorento and while it's nice, you can very easily see where the cost-savings came from. It is by no means a bad car, and it's great as a family vehicle, but expect problems like faulty side mirror motor and EPB problems that can take months to fix due to lack of spare parts.

why shortlist? sounds like the best deal in its class, considering all. plus, you get 7 years warranty, which is really nice for your peace of mind. If i had a family with kids and dogs, I'd get one of these
update: sucks they only sell diesels though

Hey Matt, great & helpful review, thanks! I always enjoy them! Could you please review the Renault Koleos dci 175 AWD initiale Paris? Btw, its panoramic sunroof has two positions: 1st automatic stop is 3/4 open for less windnoise, 2nd is completely open.

A good choice. I love my mk1 Sorento, however the ladder chassis and solid rear axle whilst good for offroading gives a very jarring ride over bumps and potholes. These new softer monocoque 4x4s are better if you dont need rugged agricultural ability.
