2017 Kia Sorento : One of the most affordable SUVs

The Kia Sorento adds connectivity and safety features for 2017 while remaining one of the most affordable SUVs of its size.

With a length of 15.6 feet, the 2017 Sorento is mid-size and has flexible storage space of up to 73 cubic feet while offering buyers the choice of seating for five or seven people.

The Sorento also is one of the few SUVs with three engine choices — a naturally aspirated four cylinder, a turbo four and a V-6.

The starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price with destination charge for a base, 2017 Sorento L is $26,495 and includes five seats, a 178-horsepower, four-cylinder engine, automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.All Sorentos are equipped with the leading KIA warranty that includes a 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain coverage and limited coverage, the basic vehicle for five years/60,000 miles.

2017 Sorento is a recommended purchase of Consumer Reports magazine, where it was rated four out of five expected reliability. It also has received five out of five stars for occupant protection in front and side crash tests by the Federal Government.

Sorento offers a good blend of strength, comfort and functionality without much fuss.

Beyond that have a main class. In plastic, either on the dashboard and doors make even basic SUV feels more expensive than it is. Controls and gauges well placed, and there are several ways to set up the second and third rows of folding chairs to accommodate cargo.

Kia’s excellent surround view camera that shows the driver views all around the car is especially useful and makes parking and neck-straining less stressful. However, a rearview camera is not standard on the base model. Buyers must move up to the 2017 Sorento LX, which carries a $27,795 starting retail price, to get a camera.

Still, the starting prices remain thousands of dollars less than the $31,590 starting retail price for a 2017 Toyota Highlander and the $29,845 starting retail price for a 2017 Ford Edge SUV.

The list of other features is lengthy, and buyers can outfit the Sorento to the level of a luxury vehicle.

The test Sorento, for example, was the top SXL AWD model that had Nappa leather-covered seats, 19-inch, chrome wheels, panoramic sunroof, a premium surround sound system and navigation system with 8-inch display screen, among other things. Safety features included autonomous emergency braking if the Sorento detected an imminent collision. The car is also compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The SXL AWD comes only with the 290-horsepower V-6 and is pricey, though, at $46,795.

The 3.3-liter, double overhead cam V-6 powered the Sorento tester strongly and made the SUV feel lighter than its 4,300-plus pounds.

With peak torque of 252 foot-pounds at 5,300 rpm, the vehicle comfortably got up to highway speeds while merging and easily passed other cars.

Fuel mileage in combined city/highway travel averaged the federal government’s rating of 19 miles per gallon, for a total range of 358 miles on a single, 18.8-gallon tank of gasoline.

Passengers didn’t feel many bumps on the roads, but they noticed some body roll as the Sorento went through curves and turns at good speed. The ride was quieter than expected, and all but the third row felt comfortable for adults. Legroom is just 31.7 inches in the third row, and seat cushions are short and situated close to the floor, so this area is best used by children. When not in use, the third row stows flat into the floor.
