New 2025 Kia Sorento PHEV in Scarborough, ON
Adventurous By Nature
The 2025 Kia Sorento PHEV could be seen as a gateway model between internal combustion engines and EVs. The Kia Sorento plug-in hybrid offers a degree of electric-only mobility combined with the familiar practicality of a gas engine. The cabin is spacious and full of helpful storage solutions, and the quality and comfort are more impressive than some might expect in this class. If you think you can't have it all without a hefty price, the Kia Sorento PHEV could come as a pleasant surprise.
Trim Levels
The 2025 Kia Sorento PHEV is available in two trim levels that are both generously equipped with standard features. The first of the pair is the EX PHEV, and the higher-spec model is the SX PHEV. Both models feature standard 19.0-inch alloy wheels, LED lights, a rear spoiler, rear privacy glass, roof rails, and a Smart Power liftgate. The exterior of the Kia Sorento PHEV benefits from a refresh for the 2025 model year that adopts the same attractive design as the non-hybrid version the Kia Sorento adopted a year ago. It's true that some family-friendly SUVs could be regarded as a little dull and boring. But the stylishly refreshed exterior of the Kia Sorento PHEV banished any such thoughts as soon as you set eyes on it.
Performance
The 2025 Kia Sorento PHEV pairs a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with a 360-volt electric motor to offer a combined 261 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission directs power to all four wheels, as the Kia Sorento PHEV is exclusively all-wheel drive. The hybrid fuel economy ratings are 7.2 L/100 km in the city, 6.9 L/100 km on the highway, and 7.0 L/100 km combined. When the electric-only capability is taken into consideration, the Kia Sorento PHEV is rated at 3.2 Le/100 km. And if you want to take advantage of the electric-only capability, the electric driving range of the 2025 Kia Sorento PHEV is 48 km. This plug-in hybrid system uses a 14-kWh lithium-ion battery, which can be recharged by plugging it into a charging point at home or in public. Along with its impressive efficiency and electric-only driving capability, the 2025 Kia Sorento PHEV also offers livelier acceleration than its non-electrified siblings.
