Kia Sorento Ford Explorer

The 2014 Kia Sorento ranks 9 out of 22 Affordable Midsize SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Kia Sorento, as well as reliability and safety data.

Reviewers say that the updated 2014 Kia Sorento is a good value, but the Sorento loses points for its unimpressive cabin materials and sluggish base engine.

The 2014 Kia Sorento is powered by a four-cylinder engine, and while some reviewers say it offers adequate power, others find the Sorento lethargic with this engine. A V6 engine is optional, and most test drivers say that it provides strong acceleration, though one critic wishes the V6 was more responsive when accelerating from a stop. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard, and earns praise for shifting smoothly. The EPA reports that the 2014 Sorentogets up to 20/26 mpg city/highway, which is average for the class. Reviewers generally don’t consider the Sorentoathletic, but most agree that it has acceptable handling and a comfortable ride. One automotive journalist says the Sorento features precise steering, while another notes that the brakes are powerful for the class.

Automotive journalists write that the Sorento’s cabin is built with hard plastics, and many note that they’d like more high-quality materials. The front seats are praised for being comfortable and supportive, although some reviewers think the available leather upholstery feels cheap. One reviewer thinks the second-row seats offer good head- and legroom, but another thinks that the second row is too small. While many midsize SUVs offer more cargo space, test drivers say that the Sorento offers plenty of cargo room. The Sorentoalso garners praise for its long standard features list. One reviewer thinks the available infotainment system is easy to use, while another likes the Sorento’s straightforward audio and climate controls.
