Towing capacity

All of the 2022 Kia Sorento PHEV versions offer a maximum towing capacity that can reach up to 907 kilos, or 2,000 pounds.

The electric side of the Sorento PHEV

Contrary to its fuel or simply hybrid versions, the Kia Sorento PHEV AWD can run on 100% electric mode and can be charged, just like a fully electric vehicle.

Kia Sorento plug-in range

In fact, the 2022 Sorento PHEV offers a 51-kilometer autonomy during which you can drive without using a single drop of fuel. You will also have access to a total autonomy (fuel + electricity) of close to 1,000 kilometers!

Battery and charge

The 2022 Kia Sorento PHEV battery, according to the specs sheet, has an 88-kWh capacity. Even though it can be charged thanks to a regenerative braking system –which can extend your electric range while you are driving-, the quickest way to charge your battery completely is by plugging your 2022 Kia Sorento hybrid to a charging station.

Finally, by using a level 2 (240 V) charging station, at home or on the road, you can charge your vehicle quickly, generally in less than 3 hours. You can also plug it to a domestic 120 V plug.

Fuel economy

If you take into account that most of your urban drives will be done in 100 % electric mode, you will quickly understand that your Sorento PHEV will help you save substantial amounts of money on fuel.

The combined fuel consumption numbers for the Sorento PHEV, according to Kia Canada, is set at only 2.8 Le/100 km in the city, and 3.2 Le/100 km on the highway. That is very little, if you compare it to the hybrid (6.4/7.0 L/100 km) and fuel (10.1/9.2 L/100 km) versions.
