The 2022 Kia Sorento PHEV is here, and it is certainly one of the most impressive new sport utility vehicles to hit the market. Taking the best parts of the current Sorento including the impressive interior space, remarkable performance, and array of advanced safety and connectivity technologies, the new 2022 Kia Sorento PHEV delivers the welcomed bonus of all-electric capability.
The 2022 Kia Sorento PHEV delivers 51 kilometres of all-electric range, which, to put things in perspective, is nearly 20 kilometres more than a Cayenne E-Hybrid from Porsche or a Volvo XC90 T8 PHEV. That’s not bad considering that with a starting price of just $44,495, the 2022 Kia Sorento PHEV is half the price of those two luxury SUVs.
The Sorento PHEV is powered out of the gate by a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine which is then paired with an electric motor and a 13.8-kWh battery. This battery is the heart of the Sorento PHEV, giving it the exceptional range we discussed earlier. Moreover, this range can be attained by charging the Sorento PHEV for less than 3 hours, and you don’t even need to buy a charger. A home outlet will do just fine!
Aside from its electric motor and impressive performance (261 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque), the 2022 Kia Sorento PHEV is essentially identical to the 2022 Kia Sorento. It offers three rows of seats, 1,274 litres of total cargo space behind the second row, and a range of technologies that make daily driving more enjoyable.
