KIA Sorento (UM)

KIA Sorento (UM) is another three-row Sorento generation, aimed at families that want a practical SUV with a usable back seat and a proper luggage area. By our assessment, its main appeal is the same kind of everyday usefulness that made the model line familiar: clear layout, sensible seating, and enough room to cover ordinary family errands without feeling tiny. The limit is also familiar, because a vehicle like this is never the most nimble thing in town and the third row is not where the tall adults will want to spend time. It sits below the biggest body-on-frame SUVs and above smaller five-seat crossovers, which is exactly the middle ground many buyers look for. In use, it is about carrying people and bags with less drama than a minivan and less bulk than a full-size SUV. The UM badge matters mostly to people tracking Sorento generations, while everyone else just sees a sensible family hauler with some road size to manage.
