Why does my Kia Sorento engine make a ticking noise?

I recently purchased a Kia Sorento and noticed that the engine makes a ticking noise when I start it up. Should I be worried? Is this a common issue with this model?

Hi Emily, it is common for the Kia Sorento to make a ticking noise when starting up. This is typically due to the design of the engine and is not a cause for concern. However, if the noise persists or gets louder, it may be necessary to have a mechanic take a look.

Don't worry, Emily. My Kia Sorento also makes a ticking noise when starting up. It's just the way the engine is designed. As long as it doesn't get louder or cause any performance issues, there's no need to be concerned.
