Exterior

This is where the Kia Sorento tugged at my familial heartstrings. It’s just so darn cute! I spent some time analyzing why I thought it looked so adorable. Did it have big round eyes (headlights) like an infant? Nope. Did it have a soft furry belly, like our dog? Nope. I’ve got it! The Kia Sorento looks like a bunny! No, I’m serious here — stick with me for a second. We have a pet bunny, and we adore him for his cuddle-ability. I won’t go into lengthy detail regarding the physical similarities, but there are several, from our bunny’s face to his ears to the rounded rear end! The Sorento is bunny-licious from every angle.

I did appreciate the Sorento’s privacy glass, as well as the available chrome door handles; both added a dash of sleek sophistication to the Sorento’s cuteness. Also, the height of the car, while making it difficult to climb into and out of, was nice when pulling up to a curb to park. There was so much clearance I never had to hear that loud, grating “oops, I hit the curb again” sound.

The doors were heavy, but I haven’t figured out if this was a good or bad thing. If they’re too light, the car feels cheap, but if they’re too heavy, we get bruised. I did run into problems with the rear cargo door. I’d slam it and the interior warning light would say it was still open, which would force me to go back into the frigid temps and blowing nastiness to shut it again. This happened a couple of times while testing the Sorento.
