Looking for a mid-size model with an efficient powertrain to reduce fuel costs? A model like the fiercely modern 2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid is an excellent option. This hybrid SUV delivers a well-rounded driving experience for all of your urban and suburban travel needs.
1. Dynamic Performance
The Sorento hybrid pairs a full parallel hybrid system with a turbocharged 1.6-liter, four-cylinder gas motor. The net output of this dynamic powertrain is 227 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. By itself, the electric motor generates 59 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission with selectable drive modes allows drivers to use a rotary shifter dial on the console to flip between Sport, Comfort, Eco, and Smart driving modes.
The upper SX Prestige model has an additional Snow driving mode, which is supported by a torque-vectoring AWD system with a center-locking differential. This elevated all-wheel drivetrain continually distributes power between the front and rear drive axles to improve traction, cornering ability, and precision handling. The center-locking differential improves traction on slippery roads and off-road driving situations.
2. Modern Style
The Sorento Hybrid has a modern body line with sporty design elements. The minimalist paint colors for the hybrid are Steel Gray, Snow White Pearl, Mineral Blue, Interstellar Gray, Volcanic Sand, Silky Silver, Aurora Black Pearl, and Cityscape Green. The EX model is upholstered in Gray or Black SynTex, a synthetic leather alternative. The SX Prestige model is trimmed with genuine leather seat material in Gray or Dust Blue.
3. Smart Key Convenience
The Sorento Hybrid comes with a Smart Key that performs multiple functions, such as locking and unlocking vehicle doors without using a physical key. The Smart Key system is paired with push-button ignition. On the SX Prestige, drivers can use the Digital Key 2 system to access and drive the hybrid using a smartphone virtual key, which can also be shared between family and friends.
The Smart Key enables other convenience features, like a Smart Power liftgate that can automatically open when you stand near the rear bumper with the Smart Key on your person. The Smart Power liftgate automatically closes when you walk away from the vehicle so you can put away shopping carts without fuss.
4. Smart Cruise Control
The Sorento Hybrid is outfitted with advanced driver assistance systems to improve steering, lane-centering, and automatic braking response. Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go Curve is standard for both models, which allows the hybrid SUV to match speed with surrounding traffic. The SX Prestige adds Machine Learning to adapt the radar-based cruise control to your unique driving habits.
The Sorento Hybrid is full of modern features so your daily drive is as convenient and efficient as possible. Drop by Airport Kia of Naples in Naples, FL for a test drive.
