4 Reasons to Choose the 2025 Kia Sorento Plug-in Hybrid

The 2025 Kia Sorento Plug-in Hybrid is the ultimate three-row SUV for families. It offers an efficient powertrain, a spacious cabin, plenty of room for cargo, and smart in-vehicle technology. Here’s why the Sorento Plug-in Hybrid should be your next family SUV.

1. Impressive Electric Range and Performance

Rated for 74 MPGe, the Sorento’s PHEV powertrain sips fuel and gives you decent savings on gas. It features a 1.6L turbo four-cylinder engine and an electric motor, with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive as standard. Packing 261 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, this Sorento delivers satisfying acceleration and enough power when you need it.

With the 14 kWh battery pack, you’ll get 31 miles of electric range for school drop-offs and quick errands around town. Once the EV range is depleted, the Sorento PHEV runs on gas only and achieves a solid 33 miles per gallon. Charging the battery takes around four hours using a 240V outlet, and you can also top up at nearby public charging stations.

2. Family-Friendly Cabin

The cabin comfortably seats six and has space for everything you need on your journey. Second-row captain’s chairs enhance comfort and slide forward at the touch of a button, making it easy to access the third row. With the available second-row window sunshades, the rear seats stay comfy when it’s sunny outside. You’ll get 12.6 cubic feet of cargo space, which increases to 75.5 cubic feet with all the rear seats folded.

Heated, power-adjustable front seats come standard, along with dual-zone automatic climate control and rear air vents. There are USB ports in all rows, plus a wireless charger up front. Stepping up to the SX Prestige trim will get you comfort extras such as heated second-row seats, ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.

3. Connectivity for Everyone

A standard 12.3-inch touchscreen center unit serves as the interface for all things entertainment and connectivity. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto let you bring all your favorite music and podcasts to the screen. You can also make calls hands-free, send and receive texts, and search for destinations. With the in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot, everyone can stream on their devices as well.

4. Comprehensive Safety

The Sorento PHEV comes with an automatic braking system to prevent collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. It also includes a blind spot monitor that alerts you if there’s a vehicle in your blind spot when you signal to change lanes. The available blind-spot view monitor takes it a step further and shows a live video feed on the instrument panel. Other driver-assist features include lane-keeping assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and parking sensors.

The Sorento Plug-in Hybrid brings together all the amazing features families look for in an SUV. If you’d like a test drive, reach out to Kia of West Chester in West Chester, PA, and we’ll set you up!
