Meet the 2025 Kia Sorento Plug-in Hybrid: Efficiency Meets Utility

The base EX AWD has an exceptionally versatile plug-in hybrid powertrain that can shift seamlessly between all-electric driving and hybrid efficiency for longer trips. This PHEV powertrain has a net output of 261 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft of torque. The estimated efficiency for the EX AWD is 74 MPGe with the PHEV system fully engaged, or 33 MPG when you rely only on gas engine power. The electric range for this model is 31 miles. 

The base Sorento PHEV is equipped with an efficient 1.6-liter turbocharged hybrid motor that generates 177 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft of torque. The PHEV powertrain is completed with an electric drive motor that produces 91 horsepower and 224 lb.-ft of torque. Alongside selectable drive modes, the EX AWD has a six-speed automatic transmission and a highly stable AWD system with torque-vectoring technology and a center-locking differential. 

Safety Technology

Parking in the city is easier than ever with standard Park Distance Warning, a system of front and rear sensors that will alert you if you get too close to stationary objects when you are parking. You can also trust that the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist system has you covered when you are backing out of parking spaces. This system can spot cross-traffic and intervene with emergency braking to prevent an accident. 

You can optimize the fuel efficiency of this PHEV with Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control, which simultaneously maintains a safe following distance from the car ahead, adapts to the surrounding traffic speed, and predicts when to slow down based on navigation data. This system functions in stop-and-go traffic, so you can have greater confidence driving in the city. 

Cabin Features

The EX AWD can comfortably seat six passengers. This model has a dual-zone climate control system with standard rear air conditioning vents to make sure all passengers are comfortable. Standard solar control glass also reduces heat buildup from sunlight in the cabin. 

This three-row SUV allows you to instantly adjust the seating configuration with one-touch sliding/folding second-row seats, which can also fold with a 50/50 split to make room for pass-through or extra-large cargo. The third-row seats also have a 50/50 folding feature to accommodate additional luggage. A dual-level cargo floor with a hidden storage area is also standard, along with a cargo cover to keep your cargo hidden. 

The Sorento PHEV is ready for all of your adventures, whether you spend more time in the city or off the beaten path. Get in touch with Coughlin Kia Newark in Newark, OH to learn about model availability today.
