Is the 2024 Kia Sorento a BETTER midsize SUV than a NEW Hyundai Santa Fe?

Tbe overal value you get with kias i believe is unmatched. Tons of nice features and style for the price compared to others.

Raiti, I know I’m excited and a little premature here, but when would I be able to stroke the new style PHEV? The split-tail lights on that rear end are really snappy.

In my opinion it's quite masculine looking for an SUV like they copied the GMC 1500 front end

You lost me at 4 cylinder turbo and 45,000

Imagine busting your cream in a new car

Yeah Joe, I agree. Don’t bust your cream all over that nice interior.

Isn’t that color Wolf Gray?

It just needs TRD Pro style lift and tires...

I prefer KIA over Hyundai. I drove a Hyundai for 2 days and hated the ride. I’m KIA all the way, better in so many ways.

Zonk that ugly Kia logo badge on the hood of the vehicle. It should be on the gtill. Make the hood smooth, not a billboard for the manufacturer.
Other than that, it's beautiful.

45k, nope!

The new Sorrento is absolutely beautiful compared to that Hyundai monstrosity

I just got in a version that has the driver seat memory!

Looks amazing. Kia's come a long way.

That vent keeps the water away from splashing up on the bonnet in the rain. It goes through the fender into the wheel well. All vehicles have this

Nope

I recently had to replace my car and we already own a 2019 Sorento V6 that we really appreciate for long distance trips so I was checking out the S Trim of the 2024 Sorento, but the markup in our area made them a non-starter, especially since they all had the panoramic sunroof which was something we were very much avoiding.

So we looked at the 24 Santa Fe's which were hitting the lots but they became an instant NO since they only come with that dreadful DCT. Ended up getting a huge deal on a new 23 Santa Fe that was built in December 2023 (nearly $8,000 off MSRP!)

I’m wondering one thing…on any vehicle you review, are there any you actually like and dislike, or is it better for indifference? One never knows what you actually think, you are just not telling the whole story, I believe.

I like my 21 Sorento SX Turbo better. I don't like the front end on the new one and they did change the hood shape

The interior looks too cheap for 45k

I don't think that's true, are you telling me only leftist gender bending genetic misfits drive this sort of thing? Are you pointing out how the same buyer drove Subaru? I wonder why that is? Do you believe that their brain wave pattern and frequency of dormant genes are delivered because they are easy to fool and mislead? Amazing! Good to know thank you

It would have been nice to see the middle row with the seats down

I would have never considered a Kia Sorento but my wife’s car is in the shop and we have one for a rental. It’s a very nice vehicle. It rides great, nice room inside. My only complaint is the power. I feel like it’s under powered. Ive now added it to my list of vehicles to look at when I buy a new vehicle.

You are perhaps the only reviewer who shows the middle row seat recline. Thank you very much for that.

Look like jeep Cherokee

I have the exact same trim and color, I love it! It has its own debit card, I don't remember you saying anything about it. As long as I have my phone, I don't need the key fob. Crazy!

Sorento is much nicer. Third row seats.

컬러가 예쁘고 디자인도 아름답네요😊

The Seal Around The Panorama Glass, Was Sold Defected May 8, 2022, & Casey Dealaship Has Delayed 2 Correct The Issue 2 Date. Several Pictures has Been Taken By EveryOne Involved, Casey Repair Also. Consumer Complaint Has Taken On Y. NO Progress Has Been Satisfactory Completed Yet. Next Will Be Installed Is The LEMON LAW. 😮 😢

Midsize?? Bigsize

I love my 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid!

“Look like somebody’s dingy just drop down, No Diddy”😂😂😂

Always enjoy the reviews, but today's humor made them great

Getting rid of my 2022 sorento sx too many tranny issues. Looking for something similar xt5 xt6 or on my list. Any recommendations

The 2024+ Santa Fe styling looks better

Thank Joe. Really like the style of the Sorento. I happen to like the rear taillights. Very surprised to learn there is no seat position memory in the X-Line SX trim.

I wish the Telluride had a similar back end look. I love the Telluride but that back end looks like a sad clown. Drives me crazy.

Never thought much about kia and Hyundai in 33 years of living but a co-worker told me about the elantra N and a buddy test drove a 24 Sorento so I wanted to check it out online. Great video first off, very well in depth but also I'm very impressed by this suv. Has a ton more room than my new 4runner limited i purchased a year ago. Won't lie they seem to make nice cars now compared to the 90s and early 2000s like the Rio or spectra lol I'd definitely consider these brands now, don't know much about reliability tho but my dumbass owned a couple land rovers so can't be that bad. Love the subtle humor in this video too, actually lol'd in person to the hostess cupcake part

Is this X-Line SX or Prestige?

I have the new Santa Fe, I’ve been eyeing these. But these cars are like pitllbulls/german Shepard. Everyone has one

You lost me at no heated steering. We need the heated stering wheel up here in Missouri.

No heads up display always problems with their engines yeah I'll pass on a Sorento I'll take the Mazda CX-5 any day the 2024 over this

For me that 2021/22 Sorento was the perfect shape..tho still dig the rear & color.Interior abit bmw much.

I love these car reviews! Very helpful info I've had a 98 Kia Sportage and I'm rolling in a 18 Sportage. I'm looking forward to getting a new Sportage or Sorento next year! 😁

Very nice video sir thank to information ❤❤❤

I see brown

Really enjoy your reviews Joe. I especially appreciate your "On Throttle" segment. You're not afraid to give the vehicles you're testing "the beans". I'd like to know what these vehicles are made of before I get to them so thanks for not being timid about hitting the accelerator. My current lease is up and this is on my short list. However, the one criticism I have is that Memory Seating is only available in the two top trim levels. Really Kia? That's a bit silly. Anyway, thanks Joe.

my kids will def be doing illegal drugs

We have got to get past the point where we are covering cars with black plastic cladding when they cost $40K, $50K, and higher. It's as absurd as fake chrome. Off road vehicles only for the black plastic. OR...base models if their prices are sub $30k.
