The 2021 Kia Sorento SX: before you buy

No 2021 Kia Sorento SX is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 2021 Kia Sorento SX for buyers, in plain words.

Recalls and complaints

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 275 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, engine and electrical system. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

What the figures tell you

Its powertrain is the 2.5L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Expect about 27 litres for every 300 km, going by its 9.0 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $41.85 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

How big it is

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

Good uses for the Sorento

Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Rent it for a week first

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.95 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Choosing the right one

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
