2025 Kia Sorento: Still Hybrid and Available in Plug-In Versions
This year again, the popular Sorento comes in various powertrain groups, including combustion engine models and – of interest here – hybrid (HEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) engines.
Their remarkable energy efficiency does not undermine their performance, quite the contrary, even though there is a difference between a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid Kia.
Performance
As mentioned earlier, the HEV models can rely on a power output of 227 horsepower, while the more powerful plug-in versions deliver 261 horsepower.
This means you will enjoy unparalleled driving experience and superior power compared to the gasoline models, while also consuming less fuel.
Electric Range of the Kia Sorento PHEV 2025
In addition to offering solid performance, the Sorento PHEV provides a 100% electric range of 48 kilometers, unlike other Sorento models which do not offer this feature. This allows you to maximize your energy efficiency by using the electric motor more extensively.
Towing Capacity and Fuel Consumption
Whether you opt for a 2025 Kia Sorento hybrid or plug-in hybrid, this SUV can tow up to 2000 pounds. Fuel consumption rates are detailed as follows, according to the model:
- Sorento HEV: 7.0/6.9 L/100 km (city/highway)
- Sorento PHEV: 7.2/6.9/3.2 L/100 km (city/highway/combined gasoline-electricity)
Optimized Hybrid Version
Compared to the gasoline model, the electrified Kia Sorento hybrid offers better fuel consumption, as shown in the following table:
Model |
City Consumption |
Highway Consumption |
Sorento Gasoline |
8.5-8.7 L/100 km |
9.4-10.3 L/100 km |
Sorento HEV |
7.0 L/100 km |
6.9 L/100 km |
Plug-In Hybrid Version Optimized for Electric Range
All-electric Range
The Sorento PHEV offers a range of 48 kilometers in fully electric mode; you will thus enjoy the best of both worlds between a thermal engine model and an electric SUV, minimizing your visits to the gas station.
Reduced Charging Time
Moreover, another advantage of the Sorento over a fully electric SUV is its reduced charging time. Indeed, you will need only just over 3 hours to fully charge the battery using a Level 2 charging station at home or on the road, compared to at least 8 hours for a 100% electric model.
Finally, when applying for Kia financing, inquire about the government incentives offered for the Sorento PHEV as well as our current Kia promotions.
