2023 KIA Sorento Hybrid Specs, Price, Features, Mileage, and Review
There are many new models in the mid-size crossover and SUV market, but the three-row Kia Sorento is one to take into account. The larger V-6-powered Telluride’s usefulness is matched by the Sorento, which seats up to seven people and delivers greater fuel economy and a variety of powertrain options. Although the front-drive SUV’s standard engine is a 191-hp inline-four with an eight-speed automatic gearbox, we believe that consumers would be better off upgrading to the Sorento’s 281-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine and adding all-wheel drive. Additionally, Kia sells the Sorento with a 261-hp plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system that has an estimated 32 miles of battery-electric driving range and a 227-hp hybrid powertrain that gets an EPA-estimated 37 mpg combined. For its size, the Sorento has a lot of passenger room, and it even comes with amenities such as well as second-row and front-row heated and cooled seating.
What Is 2023 Bringing?
The Sorento’s extensive portfolio remains largely unchanged as it enters 2023. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are now standard on all models, and the S trim now includes a wireless smartphone charging station. The upmarket SX trim now has a 12.3-inch digital gauge display, power-folding exterior mirrors, and rain-sensing windshield wipers; the mid-range EX trim receives an eight-way power-adjustable passenger seat and a frameless rearview mirror. The base Sorento Hybrid S model has been withdrawn by Kia, and in its place is the fully equipped Hybrid SX-P grade, which comes equipped with 17-inch wheels, leather upholstery, standard all-wheel drive, and second-row captain’s seats. With an eight-way motorized front passenger seat and a frameless rearview mirror, the Hybrid EX also receives some love. The Sorento PHEV is only available in the SX-Prestige level for 2023. With its 115-volt inverter, retractable rear-door sunshades, and an estimated 32 miles of electric driving range, the PHEV SX-Prestige is equipped with everything you need.
