How many miles is too many on a 2017 Kia Sorento?

With proper maintenance, a 2017 Kia Sorento can last 200,000 miles or more. At 143,857 miles, this vehicle still has plenty of life left — especially with the durable 2.4-liter engine. A pre-purchase inspection is always a good idea on any high-mileage vehicle.

What does the Kia Sorento LX trim include?

The LX trim includes a rearview camera, Bluetooth, a touchscreen infotainment system with UVO connectivity, USB input, and seating for up to seven passengers. It's the foundational trim but covers all the essential tech and comfort features most buyers need.

Is front-wheel drive good enough on a Kia Sorento?

Key items to inspect include the engine for any oil leaks or irregular sounds, the transmission for smooth shifting, brake pad and rotor condition, tire tread depth, and the vehicle's maintenance history.
