The Kia Sorento Thread [Merged]

[jut703]

Guys ano reviews niyo dun sa newly released.na cheaper na Kia Sorento?

If you were to choose, 1M++ Kia Sorento? Or Lancer EX GTA?

Depende naman sa needs mo eh. Identify what you're looking for in a car so you don't get swayed by every single suggestion thrown at you.

The 1.23M Sorento is a manual and looks very bare. If you're getting that, chances are you're gonna spend for fogs, roof rails and side mirrors so dagdag pa sa cost. It also has much less features compared to the GT-A. No automatic wipers, headlamps, climate control and whatnot. No fancy audio system. In exchange for all that, you get much, much more space.

Of course, the two cars drive very differently too. With its higher center of gravity, the Sorento will feel less nimble through corners. On the flipside, potholes and steep parking ramps are no longer a problem with its high ground clearance compared to the GT-A.

The Sorento will have slightly better fuel consumption by virtue of its eVGT diesel engine. However, maintenance will be more costly.

Personally, if I only had one car, I'd get a GT-A over a Sorento because I don't need the extra space and I take a lot of spirited drives. Cheaper too.

Hi Sorento owners.

I am inclined to buy a sorento lx m/t diesel. I have read through the forum but couldn't find the answer to my question.
How many kilos of load can the sorento take? I have to load some sacks of rice occasionally (thinking of about 300 to 400 kilos - 6 to 8 sacks)as this is going to be part of my sorento's duty. I hope someone can tell me. Thanks.

crossover body yan sorento tapos sasakyan mo ng mga sako ng bigas. you should buy a Montero for that purpose and have peace of mind

400 kilos is about 880 pounds, so like loading it with 7-8 people. But then, your sacks of rice are deadweight kaya effectively heavier on the carrier. I don't think the Sorento will we able to take that much punishment, especially on a regular basis. The MS would probably be of better service. But methinks, a pick up would be more suited for hauling that much.

[alakdan168]

Thanks for your opinions.

The loading will happen only occasionally. Maybe up to a maximum of 4 sacks is tolerable? (around 200 kgs). May I know the difference between the Montero and Sorento in terms of loading capacity? Is it the body construction (mono something??) vs with "chassis"?

Thats i have a feeling that kia will drop their prices once the stocks of sta fe come in.

Tanong lang mga masters...

Contemplating sa offer of ng office mate - a Sorrento 2006 4x4 LX matic for 500k.
Its condition:
--105k mileage
--Sony HU.
--Casa Maintained sya from the previous owner.. may papers naman. Nreplace na last year yung belt.
--Willing daw sya ipacheck namin sa Casa para sa mga parts na kelangan ayusin.
--Most probly kelangan na daw ng wheel alignment.
--Ok pa naman yung tires.
--May konting gasgas sa body (black color) pero hindi halata, wala naman bangga.
--Hindi na stock yung alarms nya kasi nakita ko yung ilaw nakasingit lang sa dashboard driver's side
--Medyo ok naman yung loob pero kelangan ng general interior detailing. Yung roof carpet malinis pa halos. Maselan kasi ako cleanliness ng mga sides sa loob ng car eh

Concerns ko:
--Parts: madali lang ba humanap ng mga parts nya?
--Maintenance: Safe lang ba sya imaintain outside Casa? Ok lang sa suking gasoline service stations? hehe
--How much regular change oil kaya nito?
--Consumption: Mas matipid daw kesa Fortuner pero ano ba yung usual consumption kaya nito?
--Wala ako makita na ibang for Sorrento 2006 na sale eh kaya hindi ko alam kung tama lang yung price sa condition.

Salamat sa feedback mga masters.

650k sa sulit pero 66k pa lang ang mileage >>>> http://www.**************/index.php/...Position,1-3,3

may 580k din, pero lower mileage >>> http://www.**************/index.php/...Position,1-8,8

Salamat Yebo. Tama ba yung idea na pag diesel yung sasakyan OK lang kung mataas yung mileage lalo na kung maintained naman yung car?

[dct]

^ in my opinion, mas mabuting sa officemate mo na lang. para kilala mo. pwede mo tanungin anytime, kung bobolahin ka man, mga minor issues lang siguro. tawaran mo na lang

[yebo]

mas ok naman bumili sa kakilala kesa sa hindi mo kilala. malamang nga yung nasa sulit hindi naman yun ang tunay na mileage nun, baka nabaha pa. di naman siguro nabaha yung sa officemate mo?

2006 yan yung 2.5 intercooler ang engine, same ng sa starex. dami parts nyan. kabisado na yan ng mga talyer na gumagawa ng mga sterex, hyundai grace at pajero 2.5 so di na need sa casa ang maintenance.

[greatauror28]

Sorento owners, common din ba jan sa pinas ang "pulling to the right" issue ng Sorento?
Mostly '11-'13s and meron sa ibang forum na nababasa ko and kaya ko navalidate yung na experience ko last long drive.

Mas evident sya kapag 120kph upwards na takbo mo.

Anyway, here's my baby

2013 Kia Sorento SX AWD

[yebo]

^ fwd + high engine torque = torque steer. expected na yan. konti lang naman unless you floor the accelerator in which case you are suppose to have a firm hand on the wheel anyway. pati santa fe ganyan. di kasi LSD.

[kurt]

I read yun PMS "menu" ng carens na similar daw sa sorento crdi. They use kia 10w-30.

I know good sya for better fuel economy and high speed engines etc. but feel ko masyado sya malabnaw para sa daily edsa type traffic ng metro manila.

you dint even notice that his unit is the awd model

[yebo]

and you don't know that being awd does not matter after 50 kph because the awd disengages automatically at speeds above 50 kph. at >50kph the sorento is a fwd no matter how big the awd decal at the back may be. i know his unit is awd, but he was talking of 120kph speed. at that speed it is a FWD.

nagmamagaling ka e palpak ka naman.
