Consommation d'essence réelle plus élevée que la concurence Direction légèrement floue au centre Transmission n'exploite pas parfaitement le couple moteur Commande de l'essuie-glace arrière mal positionnée Commande de l'ordinateur de bord mal positionnée également
Green Light
Système AWD efficace Confort Espace intérieure Puissance du V6 Commandes au volant et ergonomie générale Équipement pour le prix Accueil et démarrage sans-clé
Review:
Mon modèle est le EX V6 AWD 2012 avec option toit panoramique. Très satisfait du véhicule en général horsmis une consommation sur route un peu plus élevée que celle attendue (10-10,5l/100km@108km/h alors que je m'attendais à du 9,5l/100km). Direction floue au centre et peu communicative.

Moteur puissant et transmission passe les rapports en douceur, mais en accélération vive elle exploite mal le couple moteur et laisse le moteur monté très haut en régime (près de la zone rouge) même si la demande à l'accélérateur n'est que de ±50-60%. En conduite normale, aucun reproche par contre.

Toit panoramique apprécié, mais la glace qui se forme autour de celui-ci l'hiver provoque des craquements agaçants. L'ouvrir puis le refermer règle généralement le problème.

Review:
Bon véhicule, j'ai 2 000km de fait et je découvre des facettes agréables de ce véhicule.
Pour le prix, nettement supérieur à la compétition. Je ne croyais jamais rouler en KIA j'étais un SUBARU depuis 15 ans...

SUBARU sont devenus prétentieux en plus d'avoir des garanties pourris ! Je devais faire un choix.

Très bien équipé pour le prix (EX V6 AWD, cuir) avec le toît en option est moins dispendieux que la compétition. Qualité de construction impécable, sauf les plastic intérieurs qui font un peu cheap :)

Agréable à conduire avec un peu d'entrainement (effet de couple). Système de freinage en descente génial, ABS efficace même si les freins ne sont pas très puissant en urgence. Caméra de recul intéressante mais rarementr disponible (toujours sale !). Écran du tableau de bord difficile à lire au soleil... rien n'est parfait. Système UVO très efficace et pratique.

Consommation douteuse je vais attendre avant de me prononcer.

Appréciation générale: Je crois que j'ai fais le bon choix. Je recommanderais ce véhicule à mes amis sans hésitation !|

Équipement Insonorisation Puissance du V6 Qualité d'assemblage
Review:
Excellent véhicule dans l'ensemble. La cabine est bien insonorisée, les sièges confortables, les cadrans et instruments/commandes sont faciles à lire et à utiliser et nous adorons le système d'accès sans clé (déverrouillage et démarrage par bouton poussoir) de même que le toit ouvrant panoramique. Les plastiques intérieurs sont dûrs ce qui est moins "classe", mais l'assemblage est sans reproche.

Le moteur V6 3.5L est puissant et la transmission automatique fait un excellent travail en passant les rapports en douceur et réponds rapidement aux sollicitations.

La peinture semble se rayer plutôt facilement, mais c'est le cas de toutes les peintures des véhicules récents, étant maintenant à base d'eau plutôt que de solvants. Je recommande donc fortement l'application de film protecteur au niveau du pare-choc et autres endroits suceptibles au éclats provoqués par les cailloux tel que le rebord du capot et le haut du pare-prise.

Red Light
La 3e Rangée de banquette (du modèle 7 passagers) n'est que significative...
Yellow Light
Moteur V6 Excellent, mais 4 Cylindres à peine suffisant... peu de différence de consommation entre les 2 moteurs disponibles...
Green Light
Excellent confort, Équipement de série vraiment très généreux, Constructeur en évolution rapide et constante! Rapport qualité / prix / équipement, Beau choix de couleurs extérieures et de couleurs de finition intérieure...
Review:
À l'instar du Mitsubishi Outlander, Du Honda CRV, et de plusieurs autres modèles concurrents, le Sorento de KIA est un utilitaire sport qui offre un excellent niveau de confort et une très large gamme d'équipements qui iront du dégivreur d'essuie glaces avant au volant chauffant, en passant par une assistance en descente qui fera un travail exemplaire! Les prix du Sorento sont très compétitifs: face au Outlander LS de Mitsubishi (leur milieu de gamme) le Sorento LX V6 (l'entrée de gamme en V6), est pratiquement au même prix et offre d'avantage de confort, d'insonorisation et d'équipement de série... Ce véhicule vaut la peine d'être considéré et d'être essayé par toute personne a la recherche de luxe à bas prix!!
