Hybrid Innovation: The 2025 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid
The EX AWD has an estimated combined mileage of 33 MPG with the gas-only engine and a combined EPA-estimated mileage of 74 MPGe when the PHEV motor is fully active. The gas-only 1.6-liter turbocharged motor provides 177 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, while the electric drive motor provides 91 horsepower and 224 lb-ft of torque. The combined output of this high-performance PHEV is 261 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
The responsiveness of the PHEV motor is balanced out by a six-speed automatic transmission with selectable drive modes that can be selected on a shifter dial knob. If you rely on EV performance for short-distance travel, the hybrid battery can be recharged in about four hours with an at-home plug. The AWD drivetrain has torque-vectoring technology and a center-locking differential to refine the on-road performance of the PHEV.
Interior Features
The EX AWD has key innovations, such as a one-touch sliding and folding second-row seat that allows you to instantly adjust the cabin seating configuration to suit your cargo-carrying needs. This model has a 50/50-split rear seat and a dual-level cargo floor that can raise to meet the height of the folded seats. Beneath the cargo deck, you can tuck items into a hidden cargo area for extra security.
This PHEV model comes with a sophisticated 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with built-in navigation technology, as well as a four-inch digital instrument display. The infotainment screen has an integrated blue light filter to reduce eye strain. Along with precise navigation, the infotainment system can sync up with apps from your smartphone via wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth technology.
Exterior Features
The EX AWD is prepared for any adventure with 19-inch alloy wheels that are lightweight to improve the fuel efficiency of the PHEV, but durable enough to tolerate off-roading performance demands. The roof rails can accommodate Kid accessories, such as roof-mounted carriers. This model also has a power liftgate with automatic close technology that instantly opens the cargo area when you stand near the liftgate with the Smart Key, and automatically closes the liftgate when you leave.
The Sorento PHEV builds on all the terrific off-road performance capabilities of the gas-powered Sorento model but enhances the eco-friendly performance of the SUV with a hybrid battery that can travel on EV-only power. Reserve your PHEV when you contact Airport Kia of Naples in Naples, FL.
