Buying the 2021 Kia Sorento SX

CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2021 Kia Sorento SX before you buy one elsewhere. Before buying the 2021 Kia Sorento SX, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

Before you sign for the Sorento

Owners filed 275 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, engine and electrical system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

What the figures tell you

Under the hood: the 2.5L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

It is rated at 9.0 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 27 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $139.50 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who it is for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Practical details

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

A longer test drive

Rent the Sorento first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Sorento answers the big questions. A week with the Sorento answers more than any brochure.

Year and trim

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Running costs

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $139.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
