The models that cause the most outrage among Kia car owners are Seltos and Sorento. About this “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” reported Technical director of the Fresh automotive market is Maxim Ryazanov.
“A few years ago, Kia Seltos owners complained about the lack of sound insulation in the car, poor shock absorption (suspension shortcomings), as well as small trunk volume for a crossover. In addition, some components, such as rubber products such as CV joint shoes and gaskets, quickly failed,” the auto expert recalled.
According to him, there were also complaints about the Kia Seltos in 2023, where drivers had many problems.
“Last year, Kia Sorento also caused dissatisfaction among drivers, mainly due to the strange operation of the robotic box, and in some cases changing the firmware helped this. Fogging of headlights, extraneous noises in the steering column bearing, ineffectiveness of the all-wheel drive system, which led to the replacement of the bearing or the entire steering column, are other complaints from the owners of this model,” added Ryazanov.
The auto expert called the most reliable models of the Kia Soul, Rio, Cerato, K5 brand “due to good handling, optimal suspension for Russian conditions and long service life.”
