The 2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid continues to be a solid choice for those who want a sharp and rugged looking three-row SUV with fuel economy. After receiving minor packaging enhancements last year along with the newly added SX-P trim, the 2024 Sorento Hybrid carries over into the new model year with minor changes to color and trim options. While the Runway Red exterior paint has been deleted from the color palette, customers now have the option to pair the Gravity Blue paint color with the Navy interior color pack for a unique and stylish look. The Navy interior color pack envelops the front and rear seats in Navy perforated leather, with a hint of blue on the steering wheel. The black headliner in previous iterations of the interior color pack has been replaced with a gray headliner to add a nicer contrast to the navy theme. All else carries over, including the Sorento Hybrid’s best-in-class 371 MPG.
The 2023 Kia Sorento enters the new model year with improved packaging across all trims, building upon its generous array of standard features. Starting with the base LX, its roster of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) has been extended to include standard Blind Spot Collision-Avoidance (BCA), Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance and Safe Exit Assist. All other trims gain convenience features that were previously optional: the S gets a wireless smartphone charger; the EX gets an 8-way power front passenger seat and frameless rear view mirror; and the SX gets a 12.3-inch color digital instrument panel, power-folding exterior mirrors and rain-sensing windshield wipers. The range-topping SX Prestige now comes with standard AWD, which includes gloss back exterior accents and revised bumpers as part of the treatment. Other added features include a 115-volt power inverter that can charge household items such as a laptop, Homelink, and retractable rear door shades. The X-Line package continues to add a rugged look to the Sorento with unique bumper and exterior details, 20-inch alloy wheels and bridge-type roof rack.
For the 2023 model year, the Sorento PHEV has been streamlined to one range-topping SX-P trim. While the SX-P was already fully equipped with an upscale interior, technology, standard AWD, and an expansive suite of standard Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including Highway Driving Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance technology, it gains other creature comforts such as a retractable rear door sunshades, a 115-volt inverter that can charge household items such as a laptop, and standard Homelink. With 32 miles of all-electric range, the Sorento PHEV can fully charge its battery in about 3.5 hours when utilizing a Level-2 charger. The Sorento PHEV continues to offer the most passenger room and second-row legroom of any PHEV SUV.
