715,000 Miles on the Original Engine: A 2017 Kia Sorento Makes the Case for Care

· 1 min read

A 2017 Kia Sorento has passed 715,000 miles, and the V6 it left the factory with is still doing the work. Few vehicles are ever asked to go that far, and fewer still on their first engine. The car points to something simple: steady service, done faithfully, is what got it this far. Anyone who would rather keep a car than replace it should take note.

With reporting from The Drive.
