New Kia Sorento Hybrid Trim Levels

Athens shoppers won't have to wade through a dizzying array of trim options as Kia produces the Sorento in only three trims: EX Hybrid, SX Prestige Hybrid, and SX Prestige PHEV (plug-in hybrid).

The EX Hybrid has the base hybrid powertrain and enticing features like heated front seats, second-row captain's chairs, faux leather upholstery, upgraded safety features, a smart-power tailgate, and remote start.

The SX Prestige comes in mild and plug-in versions. The SX Prestige Hybrid features a panoramic sunroof with a power sunshade, auto rain-sensing wiper, and power-folding side-view mirrors. All-wheel drive versions add heated second-row seats, a 14-way power driver's seat, a heated steering wheel, and a premium audio system.

New Kia Sorento Hybrid Performance

The Sorento Hybrid has two powertrains. The base has a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gas powertrain paired with electric motors to produce 227 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive optional. Every model pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission. The Sorento Hybrid can tow up to 5,000 pounds for those interested in taking a recreational vehicle. Overall, the Sorento has a pleasant driving demeanor on Charleston roads and passes other cars quickly on the highway when needed. The Plug-in hybrid has a battery-only range of 32 miles.

New Kia Sorento Hybrid Exterior and Interior

The new Sorento Hybrid gets a mild exterior refresh with a new grille, headlights and taillights, and a redesigned instrument panel in the cockpit. Parkersburg buyers will choose six exterior colors, including roof rails, LED fog lights, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, owners will enjoy power driver and passenger seats that fit in well with the Sorento Hybrid's attractive cabin layout and quality materials. The overhauled instrument panel introduces new displays: one for the digital gauge cluster and the other for infotainment, appearing as one widescreen, giving the cabin a futuristic look.

The interior room remains the same as in non-hybrid versions, which often doesn't hold with other manufacturers. Passengers have generous legroom in the first and second rows, with the third row best left for more minor children. Cargo space is extensive. Behind the third row, cargo space is a minimal 12.6 cubic feet. Fold down that row and expand to 45 cubic feet with the third row folded and 75.5 cubic feet with both the second and third rows folded.

New Kia Sorento Hybrid Technology

The hybrid Sorento infotainment system has a 10.25-inch touchscreen in the EX trim, including navigation, Kia Connect, and Sirius XM in the SX Prestige trim. Clarksburg shoppers will love options like a wireless charging pad, a rear-seat entertainment system, and a 12-speaker Bose stereo.

New Kia Sorento Hybrid Safety

Every Sorento Hybrid comes with Kia's Drive Wise standard safety suite. Technologies include forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot detection, front and rear parking sensors, safe exit assist, driver attention warning, and highway driving assistance.
