Before you visit your Kia dealer, check out some of the best features and specs of this mid-size SUV hybrid.

The best thing about a hybrid car is its stunning fuel economy.

Compared to other SUVs on the market, it’s clear that Kia’s fuel economy is second to none.

Capability

The Sorento hybrid is built from top to bottom to meet all of your performance demands. The engine consists of a 1.6-liter turbo hybrid powertrain that produces 227 horsepower with 258 lb-ft of torque. The six-speed automatic transmission pairs well with drivetrain options such as all-wheel drive with a center-locking differential. Drivers can upgrade to 19-inch alloy wheels, as well. 

Interior

This mid-size hybrid SUV can seat up to six passengers. Along with power driver and passenger seats, the second row of seats are comfortable captain chairs. The front seats are also heated to make the cabin more comfortable during the winter. Other nice interior features include a 10.25 touchscreen display with connectivity to Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth audio streaming. 

Each trim has a six-speaker audio system and dual-zone climate control, eight USB chargers, and a wireless phone charger. Available upgrades also include a panoramic sunroof with a power sunshade and LED interior lighting to step up the ambiance of this amazing hybrid SUV.

Kia Drive Wise

Finally, the Kia Drive Wise safety suite is one of the best parts of the Sorento Hybrid. This model includes features such as a blind-spot view monitor so drivers can view their blind spots on the dash gauge cluster. The standard forward collision-avoidance assist feature detects cars and pedestrians, while junction-turning assist detects oncoming vehicles while turning at a junction like an intersection. 

Drivers can also upgrade to the surround view monitor. Front and rear parking sensors and smart cruise control are both standard for the EX trim, while the SX Prestige trim includes highway driving assist and driver attention warning as standard features.
