Is the 2023 Kia Sorento Plug-in a BETTER midsize SUV than a Toyota Highlander?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Sorento is a 3-row SUV from Kia. On the outside you will discover full LED lighting, gloss black trim panoramic roof. On the inside there is a large infotainment system, digital gauge cluster and tons of passenger space. Under the hood is a 1.6L turbocharged inline-4 paired to an electric motor & is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

I usually like when they refresh but I kinda like this model better then the 2024 and the 2024 don't have the navy color
I have a blue one. Drives like a charm with 3 kids.
I owned 4 Sorentos all were excellent
Apostle Joe, I have a question for you and I need your imput. Which van is better? The Chryslrr Pacifica or Kia Carnival?
Great content as always sir...but this isn't the PHEV is it? Just wondering since the Title says Plug-in. Thanks

Plug in Hybrid = PHEV
I like this …….thanks Joe ! 👍
I cant wait for the 2024 Kia Sorento refresh! Already released in Korea. Current one is amazing. But the refresh will blow the competition out of the park for sure! The new lighting headlights on the refresh model reminds me of the Cadillac Escalade or EV9.

@Raittis Rides, Joewhat do you recommend between the 2024 Kia Sorento SX Prestige & the 2024 Honda CRV Sport Touring? I love the Kia because it has all the bells & whistles. Wished the Honda had ventilated seats, panoramic moon roof & a 360° Camara. Joe let me know which one is when it comes to durability?

Look nice and I like the cargo space but I think I will prefer more space between the seats especially in the last rows. I heard that the replacement part are also more expensive . Thanks you and blessing to you in you pretty mascots. 🙏

I have a 2019 Sorento LX V6 I love it. I was a little upset cause the Telluride came out a few months later. But, I hear your not suppose to get the 1st version of a new car. Give it time to work all the kinks out.

Not bad at all and it's nice looking.
The title has “Plug-in”. At 6:10 in the videos, it shows the “HEV” (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) not PHEV ( Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle). Does the video title need to be corrected?

The flat black is a zonk it doesn't work it needs to be body colored and I do like the updated Kia logo. The piano gloss black not a fan of it. Is Kia going to keep making more Sorento’s and will there be a refresh 2024 Kia Sorento coming out?

You are not the first to say that!
The regular Highlander doesn’t have a plug in hybrid just a regular hybrid but I think to increase sales they can make a prime version. Many people out there are looking to save on gas

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cannonball practice in the Sorento is hilarious!!🗣
It's a nice SUV and has respectable cargo space, but I don't think it has the practicality and quality of the Highlander
I have the SX Prestige gasoline. Such a great car. Highly recommend!!!

That grill insert looks like snake lips!
The tail lights continue to be awkward. The two vertical lights either need to be identical shaped ( and read that way from multiple angles) or be more different proportionately from each other. Right now they appear sloppy and janky

You are not reviewing the PHEV model only the HEV model. You’re heading for this review wrongly titled the PHEV model. Very confusing and misleading.
Not a plug in. Just a hybrid.
Quite a nice vehicle. But compared to the Highlander? I'd go Highlander mid trim, if I'm plunkin' my dough down. But this Hyundai/Kia is quite impressive, more than those angular lined side slabs we've been seeing. Nice design, Kia!

This is a very sad attempt to bash Toyota 😂 No real evidence or research included. Just pure hate and garbage opinion. Stay home
$52000 for this garbage truck? Get a Mitsubishi PHEV-KIAs are all flash -look at all the problems this brand has-people who buy this trash has blinders on. Look elsewhere like Toyota and Honda king of reliability. Not to mention there is a 1 year or more wait for the RAV 4 Prime-this junk Sorento is on the lot ready for the next sucker.
Better than Toyota? Nope. Cuz of length of experience Toyota has.
