2024 Kia Sorento review (inc. 0-100, autonomy & braking)
There’s a facelifted Kia Sorento on the road! But, the changes go more than just skin deep. Paul Maric reviews the 2024 Kia Sorento in top specification GT-Line trim to see if the changes are any good.

What is the Official Exterior Color name, please? Thank you..
Bought a 2023 mq4 the version before this and the driver seat feels so cramped even with pushing it all the way back and steering at max lift and tilt, tried all combinations. I am just 6ft and it's not easy getting in and out for a car of this size…which is a shame.
What is the purpose of a reverse acceleration test?
Hi Paul, thanks to your fantastic review of the GT Line Sorento & help from your team, hooking is up with Midland Kia👍🏻
I will be taking one out for a test drive.
Hopefully the waiting time isn’t too bad once ordered.
Plenty of white ones for sale. Going for Aurora Black pearl i think🤔
Keep up the good work.
Someone needs to do something about ANCAP, they are ruining the new car industry, all those so called safety features that are default ON every time you start the car is a deal breaker for me (please continue to state if this is the case for each vehicle you review), some may say “get used to it) however for me that is not the option and may mean I’ll need to either keep current (Raptor) and perhaps by a next used older car instead of a new upgrade…shame that ANCAP can dictate what we MUST have,,,
Sorry, but I don't like this new Kia design at all. The car looks like a rolling toaster. I have a 2017 Sorento 2.2 CRDI 16V Platinum Edition AWD. I bought it in 2021 second hand with 66.000 km, and I love this car a lot because its design is still elegant and absolute timeless. On the road it is still an eyecatcher. Since 117.000 km it works without any issues. Towing my caravan makes lot of fun because with the 200 HP Diesel and 6gear-automatic there's in every situation enough power. On our German highways with unlimited speed I can reach the maximum speed of 207 km/h easily, but this car is not really made for highspeed. It offers a maximum comfort to travel long distances and the Diesel engine works silent and ecomomic. I hope that Kia will find the way back to a design which doesn't give any reasons to discuss. I will keep my Sorento as Iong as I can. Unfortunately most of the new cars are absolutely overdesigned. Best examples are some new BMW's , the Hyundai Tucson, the actual Kia Sportage or some Volkswagens and Audis. Only Mazda has still a nice design which everybody could like. Here in Germany Sorentos of the third generation like my one don't loose their value quickly and you can trade them very good. If I want to sell it I can still ask a high price.
Bought one after your review. Over all agree with your review, Paul. The speed warning is a nightmare for someone who is often a few ks over and that it needs to be switched off everytime you drive.
The other issue is that the screen is a bit too focused/ angled towards the driver. I found it annoying as a passenger.
Hopefully, they can up the power/torque on these engines or have a 6 cylinder turbo option for the more spirited driver. Other than that, great value for money for a family tourer.
Hey guys, great video and very informative and entertaining!
I am tossing up between getting the petrol or the diesel GT LINE. Ive been told if the car is being driven around city and surburbia then the diesel will pose issues with the particulate filter clogging up and needing to be replaced and serviced more often.
Have you found this to be true?
What's the main difference in ride between 20 inch and 19 inch wheel?
mat watson got better car review videos
Please do light off roading on these so that we get the full overview of the AWD system
KIA Sorento is a well-rounded car.
I love this design it looks so good in real life
We didn't get the diesel option in the USA. you can get an S trim with a 2.5 liter with an 8 speed true automatic transmission. The EX trim and higher get a 2.5 turbo with a double clutch. Which you want to stay away from. Maybe lease, but don't buy the turbo.
Does it not come with the amber drl in Australia?
Get mine tomorrow took 4 days
Lovely car but are the seats more comfortable than the last model as I found them quite stiff
just looking at ordering in the UK, what is the colour of your review car ?.
What colour is this
Interesting update. We have a 2016 Sorento, and we are in the process of replacing the turbo that is leaking oil badly. We discovered that when we had to replace the inlet hose which broke. I'm guessing the oil spray from the turbo weakened the plastic.
This is pretty much the only major repair we've had to do other than replacing the handbrake harness. Our new puppy went under the car and chewed through that so I don't hold that against Kia. I'm actually thinking of replacing it with the new Sportage. Kia has definitely proved its reliability in our experience.
WOT < NO DIESEL ?
They put all this stuff into it and no separate climate zone for the back seats. That's just really weird. Surprised they've not really improved on the self-driving features from say the Optima SW. Apart from that, several very interesting features.
Despite an upgrade, it still looks out of date.
I'm almost sure 3rd row is covered by airbag curtains.
Edit. My bad, it's probably brochure mistake. Big shame tbh!
As a Hyundai Santa Fe Highlander enthusiast, I must admit that the previous models were exceptional. However, the absence of a 4-cylinder diesel turbo all-wheel drive option in the 2024 model is disappointing.
In this regard, the Kia Sorento presents itself as a viable alternative, particularly with its 4-cylinder diesel turbo all-wheel drive configuration. Aesthetically, it bears a striking resemblance to the Santa Fe Highlander, making it a visually appealing choice as well.
The best review of a car. Thanks mate! I will go for a test drive.
When is the V6 petrol hybrid available in Australia?
Very interesting as I am looking to purchase a KIA in the very near future. You’ve definitely solidified my choice.😊
Definitely one if not the beautiful suv for its segment.
Yes, seperate light off road test please, preferably this GT line diesel AWD
How reliable are kias
