[jgayans]

I am thinking of buying a kia Sorento 2010-2011 model. What should I consider before buying? Thanks in advance for the help. 

P.S : I heard KIA gives lot of engine problems with older versions.

With newer versions (2013-2014)it'll give problems a little later 3-4 years later

By that time the market for them will reduce from the 8.5million mark they are today to the 5.6 million mark of the 2010 model

And the sellers who fed yout with that information today will say "mahattaya me engine walath leda" on that day.

Just please do not really depend on the opinions of brokers or the ones who dont know anything but to talk ??

At the end of the day any engine would give engine trouble overtime ???

KIA Sorento and Hyundai Santa fe are more or less same. Both vehicles are worth buying. What ever You buy. Check the conditions and after that maintain properly.

I am using a Santa Fe 2013 model and so far so good.

If you talking about the Diesel get anything after 2010 which is R series engine and i have done more than 100,000km before change it by the company and had no major issues.

at around 60,000 disk rotters been done

in 2013 passenger side A/C controller replaced under warranty

Other than that no issues at all.

Check for up to date service history (This is a must)

Check any DPF issues (I had no issues due to long trips on motorway) but be mind with short runs as they don't do the regeneration.

R series 2.2 CRDi engine got 450NM of torque and you will feel it
