#3. Materials/fit and finish are on par with Sorento’s competitors.
As hard as it may be for our penny-pinching minds to fathom, $35,000 is not a lot to spend on a family-hauling SUV like the 2011 Kia Sorento. Especially an example with touch-screen navigation and a rear DVD system. But with that price come interior materials that are merely OK, such as upholstery with a pleathery texture, a predominance of hard plastics, and visors that look to match the nice mesh headliner yet are really covered in vinyl. To its credit, the ’11 Sorento does sport plastics that suggest long-term durability, though we can’t help feeling that a few extra bucks spent inside the cabin would’ve gone a long way. That being said, we didn’t find any problems with how all of this Kia’s bits and pieces were put together.
