It runs great on gas as it is a four cylinder. No major mechanical work needed.

I like the Kia Sorrento as a reliable four wheel drive vehicle. I have driven it in all weather and it handles very well. It is comfortable and spacious and can easily seat five people. The trunk is a decent size but could be a bit larger. The gas mileage is decent for this type of vehicle. It has about 90,000 miles on it right now. There isn't a lot of extra maintenance required and I don't have it in the shop more often than any other vehicle I've had. The brakes are a little slow, especially compared to newer vehicles. It's a nice family car, I feel safe having my children in it. We have an infant car seat in the back and it fits well and you can still fit two other people in the back seat. A stroller takes up the whole trunk, which is why I wouldn't mind having more space.
