The all-new Sorento Turbo-Hybrid SUV that offers quick acceleration, powerful performance, impressive fuel efficiency and more than ample space for a three-row SUV. It’s KIA’S first-ever Sorento Hybrid SUV.
Sorento is engineered for confident, dynamic performance. The 2.5L turbocharged* engine unleashes 281 hp and 311 lb.-ft. of torque to power you
through the city or on the highways. Additional drive-enhancing features include an 8-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission* for smooth acceleration and quick shifting. Plus, a standard Drive Mode Select system that lets you adjust the drive characteristics, such as throttle response, steering weight, and shift points, to match your adventure.
The 227-HP turbo-hybrid powertrain pairs with a turbocharged engine with the electric motor, resulting in split-second torque for fast acceleration and strong, seamless blending of power. The Transmission-Mounted Electrical Device allows both the gas engine and electric motor to simultaneously provide power directly to the wheels, for optimum efficiency. The shift-by-wire transmission uses cutting-edge transmission technology to provide fully electronic gear shifting via a modern, streamlined rotary dial
Step inside to a standard 3rd-row-seating, which provides generous room for up to seven or six passengers. if this is your style, drivers can choose the available captain’s chairs, driver’s 10-way & front-passenger, and 8-way power-adjustable seats.
The versatile seating is a result of the 50/50 split-folding 3rd-row seat. Sorento gives you choice of a 60/40 split-folding 2nd-row bench seat or captain’s chairs. The 2ND-row, one-touch, slide-and-fold seat slides and folds forward at the touch of a button, to give 3rd-row passengers easy access, and can even be folded down remotely from the cargo area. The smart power liftgate opens automatically when you stand behind it with the Smart Key in your pocket or bag and can be customized to your preferred height and speed. The dual-level cargo floor aligns with the rear seats when folded down or can be lowered to stow taller items — beneath it all, a covered, concealed storage tray keeps lesser-used items from view.
