As long as there are other car brands out there and as long there is an equivalent from another brand, I will never buy a Kia. Lower Quality than a Japanese Car and more important poor customer service. I have purchased 3 Kia K series vans because I needed a 4x4 van and only Kia has a 4x4 Van right now, all from the different dealers, Terrible service from 3 different dealers.

1. They promised me in writing a 3M tint, They did not deliver 3M tint. Instead the supervisor said the SA is not authorized to promised a 3M tint. I wrote a letter to the President and KIA Philippines , Dedma no reply
2. They won't deliver the car you have to pick it up
3. Aircon busted in 1 month of the 2 Kias , you have to wait 6 months for the spare parts coming from Korea daw.
So we just have it repaired ourselves. Intentional gimmick by Kia so that they will not service their vehicles under warranttee.
4. They won't deliver the plates.

So guys, If you have a choice, dont buy a Kia, mayayabang mga tao diyan. Sinungaling pa. Tapos
Sirain naman ang aircon.

I think its a good alternative over the fortuners and monteros... it is diesel and can seat 5+2, the 2.2 engine is also reliable so far.

I agree with the engine reliability...although the paired transmission is a wet DCT. I am not sure why they modified this when the fuel savings advantage (vs traditional automatic) was reportedly only at 2%-3% only. Hopefully, when AC Industrials bring it here, they will find a way to change it for Philippine conditions. And the basic trim will be competitively priced

I think they really wanted to increase the performance. acceleration is improved by 9% which is fantastic for this 2T kimchi. the 3% improved fc is indeed small.

I’d take a Sorento over any PPV. Our family’s 2010 Sorento needs replacement soon, maybe this new one will be the best candidate.

More technical details below. It really is bigger than the current Sorento.

Kia claims middle-seating-row passengers have up to 994mm of headroom and 1034mm of legroom, which for context is the same headroom and 33mm more legroom than a Hyundai Santa Fe. Third-row occupants get 935mm of headroom and 752mm legroom (18mm/6mm more than the Hyundai).

Middle-seat amenities include pull-up sun blinds, vents, cupholders, and a smartphone tray. The second-row seats now slide up to 45mm further, creating a wider point of entry to the third row. There is also a new grab handle inside the C-pillar, and third-row air vents and storage cubbies. Pictures show four ISOFIX child-seat anchor points.

For second-row passengers, two USB charging sockets are integrated into the backs of the two front seats, with a third found at the rear of the front-row centre console. Both third-row passengers also have their own charging points, meaning all seven passengers can keep their device charged.

Kia also claims (VDA) a massive 821 litres of boot space with the third seating row folded flat, and 187L with all seven seats in use. With the back two seat rows folded, you get 2011L. These figures are, respectively, up 216L/45L/349L greater than Kia’s claim for the outgoing Sorento model.

Controls in the sidewall of the boot also let users fold down the second-row seat backs remotely by button.
