Is the Kia Sorento a two or three row SUV?
Which is a shame because, as we learned during our 40,000-mile test of this Sorento, it’s a practical and wieldy three-row SUV. (A confession: We sometimes forgot this thing’s name while it was here, calling it the Sportage—Kia’s smaller two-row crossover—about a third of the time. Oops.)
What’s the zero to 60 mph time on a Kia Sorento?
While it won’t snap necks, the zero-to-60-mph time of 7.1 seconds is respectable, and the V-6 even managed to return 22 mpg over 40,000 miles. The latter figure was aided by the Kia’s frequent use as a road-trip vehicle, but it’s just 1 mpg shy of the EPA’s highway estimate for the 4400-pound SUV.
What’s the price of a 2016 Kia Sorento?
To the all-wheel-drive SX’s $40,795 base price we added just a few minor accessories to bring the total to $42,180. That’s a tall number for a vehicle that starts at less than $26K, but it’s par for the course in a well-kitted mid-size, three-row SUV. Thus equipped, our Ebony Black Kia rolled onto our parking lot.
Is the Kia Sorento compatible with Apple CarPlay?
We were able to upgrade our Sorento for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, something Kia now offers to owners of vehicles with the UVO3 version of the system. (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto became optional for 2017.)
What kind of acceleration does a Kia Sorento have?
On the same Michelin tires and 19-inch wheels, our turbo four and V-6 Sorentos recorded an identical 0.80 g of lateral acceleration, not bad for this class where we still see a lot of crossovers in the low- to mid-0.7-g range. On the road, the Sorento is competent and assured without feeling particularly eager in cornering maneuvers.

Is there a third row in a Kia Sorento?
Generally speaking, all the four-cylinder models—turbo or non-turbo—are two-row crossovers while the V-6 versions (LX, EX, SX, and SXL) add a tiny third-row seat. There’s only one way to get three rows in a four-cylinder: The LX with the base engine offers the third row as an extracost option.
