    Two grown men having fun in a car while debating wether they would eat dog poop or cat poop, these guys are awesome!

    Kia and Hyundai are stepping up they're game, they went from being the poor mans car to being a legitimate competitor to most segments of the car industry. Reliability is still a bit of a question, but at this rate they'll sort it out sooner or later. Another banger video boys.

    I have the 2.5T in my GV70 and I have had ZERO issues.

    I saw some of these on the lot a month or two ago and saw the Conti tires on them. My immediate thought was, Straight Pipes are gonna love this!

    Owner of a 2021 Sorento with same drivetrain. Dad fast for sure, and a great road tripper. USB everywhere and kids love it. Good MPG if you want it. 45k miles and mostly reliable to date. Change that oil!! 9/10 would recommend.

    We’ve had a 2017 Sorento EXV6 AWD for about 6 yrs. Its great. Zero complaints. That 3.5L V6 is shockingly fast. The ride quality is… bouncy… but its an SUV thats to be expected. Cargo and seating space is fantastic and all the creature comforts work great too! Really good vehicles, truly. Not that the 2017 is not a “cheater” 3 row though, its a lot larger. A full-on-3-row you could say.

    A family member just bought this vehichle and the dealer upgraded the warranty to 20 year 200,000 miles . Its the same third party service that kia uses for the 10 year 100,000 miles . If interested it maybe worth to check if a dealership carries the upgraded warranty
  • It’s been a long time since I watched this channel, they’re doing exactly the same and I love that “HORSE POWER AND TOORQUE” 😅 Glad that there are people who keep that enthusiasm and energy

    My wife has a 2016 sorento sx+ V6 and it's a really good 7 seater SUV. We bought it used, 4 years ago for 24k 🇨🇦 with low KM. basically 1/2 price. Had No issues except the AC is leaking gas now. 120k km on it. I drive the stinger GT limited and it's just an amazing sports GT car that has the best value you can get.

    re: relability, my '21's (with the same drivetrain as this) engine has been fine, but the trans went in for recall service and still failed shortly afterwards at 20,000km/2years. Needed a full trans replacement, and was 1 of 3 other sorentos in the dealership with the same problem. Basically the DCT gets stuck in certain gears, and either won't shift or will shift really hard and skip gears. Shame for such a nice car that was otherwise perfect, won't repeat.

    I just wanted to speak to the reliability comment. I have a 2022 Sorento SX (top trim at the time) and overall I, and my family, love it. The only issue I've had with the vehicle has been front brake routers warping out of acceptable spec within the first year but my local dealer replaced them under warranty. Other than that the vehicle has been exceptional. The one thing I will note to anyone considering a Sorento, specifically with the 2.5L i4 Turbo is that regular maintenance costs can be higher than expected. I live on the East Coast and because of the the general climate conditions Kia requires maintenance every 6000 km instead of every 10,000 km, or every six months. Then there's the periodic maintenance that is planned for every 6,000 to 12,000 km that starts after 30 months/30,000 km, increasing the costs fairly notably in the third and fourth years of ownership. The maintenance cost difference from what was initially expected is certainly noticeable, in general, and especially when compared to the vehicle we had previously that required less maintenance less often. As an added, unrelated point, the omission of the HUD is a big miss, in my opinion. I love it in my 2022 SX. Because of my spouse's job she's in a new vehicle every four months and the lack of HUD in pretty much all of them is, initially at least, a sore point for me. I'd rather a more basic cluster and a high quality, informative, well-placed HUD than a fancy, adjustable cluster and no HUD every time. I like the overlay of in my (almost) direct line of sight and the removal of the need to look/glance down or to the sides for basic info - speed, media info, active driver assistance modes, navigation directions, road signs, etc. A HUD, at least as an available option, has become a must-have for me when looking at future vehicle options.

    man that tune in the video open is a banger!!
  • @nellynel153
    just picked a 2024 up and i love it so far ! great on gas and overall spacious and fun ride. lots of head turns on the road as people are curious to look into the car itself lol the screen is huge
  • @omisan771
    I'm liking this new era of SUV and Crossovers getting a bit boxier and angular after nearly 20 years of boring soft edges and blob designs.
  • @nerdgirl
    I picked up an X-Pro last week and love it. Tows 4500lbs. The only things I dislike are the climate/stereo switch and the fact that I can't get to the album art on Sirius without a bunch of taps. Everything else is great!
  • @ChristianC-gy1ym
    This 2.5 turbo in the sorento is most likely the engine they're going to place in the upcoming Palisade/Telluride. Much needed increase, especially torque. Although the current palisade isn't too bad for a naturally aspirated engine. My main complaint with the current palisade is the sluggish and lazy transmission. So slow to react to your right foot when needed. The only fix is to drive it in sport mode. But we shouldn't have to. I really hope they fix this.

    Man props to Jakub & Yuri for their enthusiastic review and banter on this Kia after reviewing rockets that is a Lambo & BMW M🚀 “Yup.” “Wanna drive?” “Yeah, sure.”
  • Yuri is right with the cat poop thing, Toxoplasma Gondii is why pregnant woman shouldn’t scoop litter! Great video guys
