The 2021 Kia Sorento is a new crossover -- and it's Kia's "other" three-row midsize family SUV. Today I'm reviewing the Sorento, and I'll show you all the quirks and features of the 2021 Kia Sorento. I'm also going to drive the Sorento and let you know what I think about the new Kia SUV.

The lower vents cool your balls off. Lol
The way this guy says "This is the new......" made me go next video !!
What happened to car engines? Back in 60's, even a 5L could barely even make 150 HP. Now a 2L can come close to 300 HP.
the A45s has a 2L engine with 421hp :)
Be careful, i know 2 people here in australia who have had engine failures weeks after getting thier brand new 2021 Sorentos, started rattling and thumping and stopped
I think Kia is doing well, with their interior designs.
No mention of the moonroof? I was hoping to see that on here.
Ironically you talk about the three rows being the selling point. That’s the reason I won’t consider buying one. I wish it where a two row and I’d consider getting one.
Give him a picaso paintng and he still will find imperfections...😏
Why no memory seats 😕
Drinking game: take a shot everytime he says muscular or brauny
In Europe the Sorento is a large SUV and every review raves how much room there is in the third row.
it shows that they have audi designers....all models are similar...just look at audi a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 a8....they all share the same design...and it shows on kia that those guys came to work there... X line Telluride,Sorento,Carnival...
I can not figure out how to get to the nature sounds in my new car. I am using an android phone. Any tips to get my car screen to look like his?
"Okay, so, Ted, what do you think about that tasty beverage?, It's f$cking good! It's f$cking Cristal. Everything else is piss." ... Everytime i watch his videos, his voice reminds me of the guy from Four Rooms.
One of the big selling points is the 3500-pound towing capacity.
To clear up some confusion about the x-line trim: the sorento doug reviewed is known at dealerships as the Sorento SX X-Line which is the highest trim level of the Sorento. The second highest trim level is the Sorento SX which doesn’t come with roof rails and the wheels are gloss black instead of gun metal grey. What the X-Line trim does is it’s supposed to make it look more rugged hence why there’s roof rails and a 1 inch lift, however I wouldn’t take it off-roading since the tire profile is only 45. The Kia Soul also has an X-Line package to make it look more rugged.
Small medium :-) in Europe it is the biggest suv in affordable price (cheaper Than ford edge, Santa Fe etc) , you want bigger you have to buy GLS or q7. Lack of mazda xc9, no honda pilot, no Subaru ascent, the first is highlander just entering Eu market. In Europe mid size is audi q5 and bmw x3
Doug when are you reviewing the fully loaded Kia carnival 2022???
If the automakers of the world want to turn the world upside down they should start working on quality, dependability, and durability, when they achieve that we will have nirvana.
On the test drive, did Doug have a window down? I have a 2015 Kia Optima that I love so much, after being a chevrolet mechanic for 20 years, I've converted to Kia 5 years ago and haven't been disappointed yet. My wife has a 2007 Honda CRV, I don't like riding in it because it sounds like all the windows are down when they are all up. So, I'm hoping the Sorento is at least as quiet on the inside as my Optima. You can't carry on a conversation in her car at highway speeds without screaming at each other. This CRV is still going strong 13 years after purchase with the AC compressor being the only thing replaced but the noise is simple. How do you make a SUV get good gas mileage? no insulation or very little insulation. So, the most important thing we're looking for is dependability and quietness.
Doug your reviews suck just like you. The third row is very comfortable and. spacious.
if your a European than thats true
This channel is obviously of interest to men and since HAIR LOSS is a topic of major interest to MEN, I post this comment. Google the MALINIAK METHOD and learn about a NEW science, which explains that the main cause of HAIR LOSS is not DHT but a blockage of BLOOD FLOW caused by a tight LOWER scalp layer. This causes DHT to be over-produced and only then it becomes the “ killer ” of hair. The OLD methods have failed because they focus only on DHT and not on the MAIN cause…now we know why they all failed. We only go bald on top where this layer exists and only people with a very tight layer lose their hair. This method explains how to restore the blood flow properly with a NEW massage technique that is totally different from how it was done before and how to REVIVE dormant follicles with a device invented by NIKOLA TESLA which we were told was not possible and that’s FALSE . The hair loss syndrome is finally explained properly and this method uses NO DRUGS, NO LOTIONS and NO SURGERY.
@Doug Demuro you should really add your other channels to your "other channels" tab
UR SO ANNOYING WHILE BEING SARCASTIC
Yeah he is trying to be funny and sarcastic on Kia and Hyundai reviews I just hate it
Bizarre. This gets 1/10 for acceleration despite the turbo and being one of the fastest in the class, yet the Outback gets 3/10 with that awful CVT and NA engine? This ranking makes no sense.
can I place a stroller in the back with the 3rd row seating in place?
Also : SUV - or as a certain greek would have said - baby buggy, comes with the same horsepower as the R34 GT-R (on paper) : Doug - "Pretty good"
DON'T TAP! JUST HOLD THE BUTTON! Ffs Doug! Get a grip! :D
Boy really stretching for things to say with those comments about the badges and engine cover...lol
It looks like the Ford Explorer
That “Doug score” is always inaccurate, some cars are made to be sporty and some are made to be practical. The sorento wasn’t made to be fast but you gave it a bad score for acceleration. When you score cars you should score them compared to similar cars
he always does compare the doug score to similar cars
why dosen't he review the kia sorento hybrid
it’s funny how kia now has a “sounds of nature”, that means you can play the “rainy day” sound WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A TOILET LMAO
Ok Doug. I know you get bored with cars like this. But, you did this on your Pacifica test, and your doing it again here too: "It drives like any other SUV." We turned off the video when you said that. I'm not in the market for this car, but if I were, you've told me ZERO about how it drives. Surely, you could take it around a corner at pace, and get some sensation of the torque-vectoring diff, right? Or, you could tell us how it brakes, or if there is body-roll, or if the yaw and pitch is bouncy. The engine has pretty high torque for quotidian Tell us about it. Even a comment about the fact that the low- and high-beam LEDs go on at the same time. Or, something...anything. That's the point. You're really not reviewing. You just make a couple exterior and interior comments. No more, "It drives like any other (insert car segment)." I wonder if supercars "drive like any other supercar?" Right?
Why do you always review the top spec luxury models of every brand new car you review not everyone in the real world will buy the $30000 Hyundai Elantra or $49000 Kia Sorento, please Review more realistically optioned cars consumers actually purchase.
will the engine catch fire
Criticizes the Santa Fe...which has the same platform, engine, and transmission for the '21 model year. The Santa Fe also doesn't have the useless 3rd row seat.
16:50 You are welcome...
Queenstown,,,, NZ?
Smart stream g
I don't think it would make a single difference if the wiper was on the bottom of the window in terms of how much area it covers, Doug.
Smart stream G 🤣 , only reason i watch doug's video when he make fun of badges 😂
Oooooo very cool 😎 but I have to admit that a Mazda CX-9 have more room than this😬
It’s also way more expensive and competes with the Kia telluride which is bigger than this and way bigger than a Mazda CX-9
I own a 2017 Sorento, and I love it. I feel like mine is bigger than this though
New Sportage it will be a insane looking SUV.
Your scoring system is so lame and ridiculous that every score you show in this video at 23:15 is almost virtually identical. And therefore your videos are useless in trying to help pick one vehicle over another.
👍
I feel like them dropping the V6 from the Sorento is just to boost the Telluride's sales.
You try to make jokes so much, but you fail
So the USB ports are there to distract and compromised the uncomfortable passengers with cup holders lol. Not a fan of that kind of rear window wiper. It doesn't clear much of view across the lower window
Went to the Kia dealership to look at a Seltos and left with a Sorento. Love the new one in white and it's super practical for someone who wants a bigger (than a Seltos) SUV but only needs the third row once or twice a year. Was a huge upgrade from my 2000 Ranger!
LOL at MxyzXi GC, AMGx4maticS and AxSlineQuattroTFSIE but X-line gets hate?
Cars and their Quirks, Doug Covers Them To The T!!! Doug I would love to get your opinion on the All New 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SUV?
Doug the type of guy to call big third row’s “your mom”, because they are so easy for him to get into
USA deserves Biden as presedent!!!! Now we will have fun seeing disaster for a safe distance 😁👍😜🇸🇮
I don’t get this comment
That rear windshield wiper design is fantastic for snow buildup, snow and ice wont accumulate on it
starting 4:00 pure comedy gold
My 1995 Tahoe had a "crotch" vent right below the steering wheel. It was amazing during the summer months.
So when it's cold and you're wearing gloves, you can't use the climate controls.. Smart thinking :)
The rear wiper is similar to land rover cars
Doug, I normally agree with your scoring but I think that was a very handsome suv, at least in the way it was equipped and I think you should have gave it more credit.
Please make a review of DSFK Glory 580 Pro or I Auto mid and affordable range SUV or CUV... Thank you and Love your content!!!
Enough of the nitpicking Quagmire. This is a really good stylish looking SUV. Kia and Hyundai are hitting it out of the ball park with value.
This looks very nice in Green.
@DougDeMuro Driving a Kia Sorento *IN* Sorento Valley!?!? It's the nexus of the car universe!!! (shoulda been worth a couple extra of points on the Doug Score)
Can we also get the Kia Seltos which is new to the American market??
Horrible captain chairs for that car. Lol and yes. Noone knows anything about that made in who knows what car lol Wil neverrrrrrrrrrrr buy a kia. Lol please guys. Don't buy this car lol save your money...idk get Toyota. Just not this 😅😅😅😅😅
If killing their designs means LITERALLY STEALING AND INTERGEATING AMERICAN DESIGNS TO GAIN OUR BUYING POWER .. then ill pass. Americans and especially black buyers have a tremendous buying power. That's why we're included in alllllllllll commercials now🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 If it isn't American made or atleast a luxury car we been had. Im ok on domestic foreigns🙄🙄🙄🙄
The separate A/C is the modern equivalent of ac for between your balls
Hunday? Really? Is it really that hard to not be an ignorant ass and say the same properly? Come on dude
Acceleration is in low 7 seconds - one out of ten. Really? It has to like what? 4 seconds to get a least 3 points?
I wouldnt mind smartstream G. Its better than DOHC.
Is it just me, or does the back of this Kia look like a 2000s Mustang?
Not just you, The whole thing looks like a Ford Explorer and a Mustang at the rear, because they copy car designs thats why it looks so bad.
Hey, DOUG DEMURO sorry to say but you are specially known for reviewing SUPER OR HYPER CARS not for this kia and Toyota please do review SPECIAL CARS
please turn on subtitles!!! i dont understand Doug
I have a 2019 kia sorento ex. I thought about getting a 2021, but I'll wait. That 2.5L turbo is not convincing me.
Hi. Those are not bindspot cameras (those you see in the guage cluster when you activate the change lane signal). They are just regular rear view digital mirrors because the angle shows the side of the car while being activated. Ok, they show an image a bit lower, to help with parking maybe.... The blindspot of a car is usually far to the outside of the field of view of the regular mirrors. ;)
At the end of your Telluride review you started singing Telluride by Tim McGraw, but during this review i couldn't stop thinking of "Sweet Surrender" by Wet Wet Wet. My sweet Sorento... ( ithomes.info/net/tLyx2dSJjKZtdoY/video )
Doug's acceleration rating is so stupid, I bet he'd give an old STI a "2"
Love your videos my friend
God, Doug is so annoying with his hate comments about this car. Like extremely annoying.
1:01...is that a low-key shoutout to @greatrace53 Elliot Alvis and the Wichita IThomes crew? 🤔
Test drove one today, WOW is this thing is nice looking inside and out... and the interior is smartly designed too! If Audi, BMW, Merc, and Porsche can sell $100K performance SUVs, I think Kia could turn the Sorento into a Sorento N with their new 3.5 turbo V6, lower it about 2 inches with an adjustable 2-stage suspension (Comfort - Sport), and add 20-inch low profile wheels w/high-performance all-season tires. Leave everything else the same but only offer it fully loaded. MSRP $54,995
This car starts from 50 000 dollars in Sweden :)
Ford rip off and the tail lights look like a Mustang
It's insane the cars that you can get in a developed country, I can only dream to get one.
Today's Perd Hapley moment, 7:08, "The seat back folds down, and then the seat is down."
actually the wipper covers more area from the most vehicles, at least in europe.
Cool walk through. I assume the rear "fin" Window you weren't sure about gives the third row passengers a view and probably helps with car sickness! Haha. Could two adults sleep in the back of the Sorento? Been looking at it for a while ideally to also occasionally take camping but not sure if it's wide enough to make it worthwhile
Nobody cares or knows what GT means in the mustang either or GTI in the VW GTI and blah blah blah. What's audi quattro, what's 4motion, 4matic? I watch his review once in a while if I am interested in a car and I don't really like his style he's not that knowledgeable about cars to me yet I'm surprised people subscribed to him.
Sounds like "Kai SO Rent toe"

They removed the memory seats from years past. That makes no sense. 🤷♂️
Needles crap
do you know a better car in this segment?
Those taillights reminds me of 90-00's ers Ford Mustangs))
Wow it's beautiful
I think that triangular 'styling cue' at the front of the rear quarter windows is what hopefully remains of that whole 'floating roof' trend...
Kia: X-line for you BMW: ...And I took that personally.
I don't know if it's me, but Kia looks like Ford lately... Especially the new Sorento
@Jer Cal IKR!
They even copied the taillights and it looks like a Mustang
