Do I need to use premium gas in my Kia Sorento?

I recently purchased a Kia Sorento and I'm wondering if I need to use premium gas. I've heard conflicting opinions, can someone clarify?

It is recommended to use premium gas in your Kia Sorento for optimal performance. The engine is designed to perform at its best with premium fuel.

While using premium gas can provide better performance, it is not necessary to use it in your Kia Sorento. Regular gas will still provide sufficient power for your vehicle.

If you want to ensure your Kia Sorento runs smoothly and efficiently, it is best to stick with premium gas. It may cost more, but the long-term benefits are worth it.
