Kia Sorento Mechanical Review

Here’s a look at the mechanicals of the Kia Sorento!

The Kia Sorento features a 2.5L Turbocharged 4 cylinder engine with an 8 speed dual clutch automatic transmission. In this video, we take a detailed look at the setup under the hood and underneath the vehicle to see what I would be like if you were to own one of these vehicles and what would be involved in maintaining it. The topics covered include the air intake system, ignition, fuel, oil, turbocharger and exhaust, timing chain and belt drive, transmission, suspension, driveline and brakes.


Overall the Kia Sorento is a decent contender in its class. Its build quality is average but there are definitely some corners cut while making sacrifices for Kia’s value oriented proposition while maintaining safety and emissions regulations. An increase in longevity would be welcome as this brand sits in the shadow of numerous engine recalls amongst an increasingly unreliable 2.5T/8DCT combination as time wears on.
