Reviews SummaryBeing fuel-efficient and stylish are just two of the 2021 Kia Sorento Hybrid’s positive attributes. The fresh three-row offering from Kia has something its three-row Telluride doesn’t: a hybrid option. The Sorento Hybrid is more capable than before, but some design decisions have left us questioning if it’s better to just go with the tried and true Toyota Highlander Hybrid instead. | |
Reviews SummaryInterest in electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing, but many people remain skeptical of the technology, don’t own a home where overnight charging is easy, or think a family-sized EV is too expensive. Enter the new-for-2022 Kia Sorento Plug-in Hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), which gives you 32 miles of electric driving range and returns an EPA-rated 34 mpg in combined driving when you run it on its turbocharged gasoline engine. The new 2022 Sorento PHEV also has three rows of seats and up to 75.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity. | |
