Getting to Know the Trim Levels of the 2025 Kia Sorento Plug-in Hybrid: Efficiency Meets Space

Meets Space

The EPA estimates the efficiency of the Sorento PHEV at 74 MPGe when the hybrid system is fully active. With gas-only power, this model gets 33 MPG combined. The PHEV motor also has an all-electric range of 31 miles if you need to run to the local corner store or you’re only taking a short trip to pick up the kids from school. 


As for cargo space, this PHEV has 12.6 cubic feet of storage space when all three rows of seating are upright. The cargo room expands to 38.5 to 45 cubic feet with the third-row seats folded flat, depending on the slide position of the second-row seats. Folding down the second-row seats maximizes cabin cargo capacity to 75.5 cubic feet. 

EX AWD

The infotainment system is housed in a 12.3-inch touchscreen and includes built-in resources like navigation and vehicle diagnostics. For connectivity, drivers can link up with wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Standard Kia Connect features add a layer of convenience to your driving routine, while the Kia Connect app enables vehicle pre-conditioning to cool or heat the cabin when you remotely start the engine. 


The six-passenger EX AWD has key safety systems like Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, Highway Driving Assist, and Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go Curve. This adaptive cruise control system uses map data to predict when to slow down or speed up, especially as you enter a curve. 

SX Prestige AWD

The second-tier model adds a 12.3-inch curved LCD interface to display the fully digital cluster, which organizes vehicle performance information and warning messages with an at-a-glance capacity. Another key infotainment upgrade is the 12-speaker Bose audio system to enhance audio quality. The SX Prestige has stylish cabin updates like aluminum sport pedals, LED interior lighting, a panoramic sunroof, and genuine leather seating material. 


Climate-controlled comfort is a highlight of the highest Sorento PHEV model. This trim has heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row outboard seats, and a heated steering wheel to complement the dual-zone climate system. The driver’s seat has a sophisticated memory system, along with 14-way power position adjustment, four-way lumbar support, and two-way thigh extension. 


The Sorento PHEV has an eco-friendly powertrain with the ability to travel short distances using electric-only power, as well as flexible cargo space to keep up with your recreational activities. Reserve your favorite trim at Kia of West Chester in West Chester, PA.
