I have been disappointed in the mileage of my wife's 2012 Kia Sorento with the 2.4 DI engine and the 6 speed auto trans. It is rated at 32 highway, which is remarkable for a 3800 pound SUV. I have seen 35 on the mileage inidcator but it is always about 2.5 MPG below the instrunmented mileage in acutal fill ups. Compared to my Fiesta that is rated at 38 highway, which I have averaged 45 MPG in since I got it 7k miles ago.
If you look at fuelly, the Kia and Hyundai cars do not easily beat their highway ratings. I think their EPA figures are somewhat fudged and before I buy another one I will rent one and see what it will do with me driving.
