Like Johnny Cash, this SUV walks the line

Interior Noise

Inside the Sorento is reasonably quiet. Some wind noise from the front of the vehicle is present, but it’s muted. Road noise is fairly minimal on grooved concrete and low on smoother surfaces. In manual shift mode, there’s plenty of engine and transmission noise, but that’s part of the fun, right? In ‘D’ it runs along quietly enough. On very bumpy surfaces, the larger of the split rear seatbacks rattled at its latch, but it rarely occurred in normal on-road driving. Michelin’s all-season Latitude Tour tire is quiet, but that’s typical for all-season rubber.
