Why it stands out

The 2016 Kia Sorento marked a clear step up in size and presence, growing 19 centimetres longer than the first generation and 10 cm longer than the second generation. Its more rounded styling helped it feel closer in size and stature to what is considered a midsize SUV today. Kia also broadened the Sorento’s appeal with a wide range of powertrains and trim levels, including a 185 hp 2.4-litre four-cylinder, a 240 hp turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder, and a 290 hp 3.3-litre V6, plus front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive depending on trim. That mix gave buyers a lot of choice, whether they wanted efficiency, extra power, or the added practicality of a three-row layout.

Inside, the 2016 Sorento stood out for making the cabin feel more substantial than before. The materials were improved, passenger space increased, and the third row was more accommodating than in the past, though it was still best suited to children. Standard heated front seats were an unusual feature for the time, and the model also offered available rear parking sensors, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. For buyers who value equipment and everyday usability, that combination made the Sorento feel well equipped without moving into luxury pricing.

There were still some compromises. The base four-cylinder was described as too weak for the larger Sorento, and the turbocharged engine was recommended for drivers who did not need the third row. Fuel consumption also varied noticeably by engine, with the V6 using more than the four-cylinder options. Even so, the 2016 Kia Sorento’s blend of size, features, improved cabin quality, and broad mechanical choice made it a strong all-round family SUV with a more mature feel than earlier versions.
