The standard Kia Sorento is an enticing offering in a crowded segment, but the plug-in hybrid is somewhat less appealing. Its fuel efficiency and overall easy-to-drive nature are commendable, but its steep asking price makes us question its value proposition. If a PHEV SUV is at the top of your list, the Sorento is a fine option in that it doesn't disappoint. But there's no doubt that its gas-engine sibling is a bit more well-rounded and affordable package.

Overview
Kia redesigned its popular Sorento SUV model last year, introducing it with a standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and an available turbocharged four-cylinder and turbocharged hybrid powertrains. Now, for the 2022 model year, the Sorento lineup adds a plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) version rated by the EPA to deliver 32 miles of electric driving range and 34 mpg in combined driving when used as a gas-electric hybrid.

SUV Avg.
Monthly estimates based on costs in Virginia
The new Sorento Plug-In Hybrid is based on the Sorento Hybrid. Kia swaps in a more powerful 66.9-kW electric motor and a bigger 13.8-kWh battery pack but keeps the turbocharged 1.6-liter gasoline-fired four-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission. Kia also adds a standard torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system. The result is a bump to 261 horsepower, 34 more ponies than you get in the Sorento Hybrid. Torque remains the same at 258 lb-ft.
Despite its more powerful engine and larger battery pack, the upgraded PHEV powertrain has minimal impact on interior space. According to Kia's numbers, you'll lose just a bit of second-row legroom. Otherwise, this three-row SUV's passenger volume and cargo space match the Sorento Hybrid equipped with the panoramic sunroof (an option available on both trims of the Sorento Plug-In Hybrid).
Few plug-in hybrid SUVs are available from mainstream brands, so the new Kia Sorento PHEV faces only a handful of potential rivals. The Kia's kissing cousin, the Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid, is similarly outfitted but seats no more than five people. The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is also a five-seater, but it is more expensive than the Kia. Otherwise, your options are smaller compact models like the Toyota RAV4 Prime or pricier luxury alternatives such as the Volvo XC60 Recharge. Check out our test team's scoring and Expert Rating of the Sorento Plug-In Hybrid below to help you decide.

Performance
8.0/10
How does the Sorento Plug-In Hybrid drive? The Sorento Plug-in Hybrid pairs a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an electric motor that pulls from a 13.8-kWh battery pack. In total, the system makes 261 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. We found that to be just barely on the right side of enough, and a 7.9-second 0-60 mph run confirms it. Lack of outright speed aside, the powertrain is smooth, with no abrupt shifts from the transmission and no juddering when the Sorento's engine springs to life.
When it comes to slowing down, the Sorento is both steady and reliable. It also blends the PHEV's regenerative braking and friction braking flawlessly, and the pedal gives no hints of the changeover between the two. Our best panic stop from 60 mph was 123 feet, which is very good for a PHEV of this size.

Comfort
8.0/10
How comfortable is the Sorento Plug-In Hybrid? All three rows of seats provide better-than-expected comfort for a small SUV. The front seats on our top-of-the-line test vehicle offered heating, ventilation and a good range of adjustment. The second-row captain's chairs (standard on the Sorento Plug-In Hybrid) were firm but more comfortable and supportive than bench seats found in other SUVs. The third-row seats are small and low to the floor but offer enough support for adults. The dual-zone climate control is efficient and easy to use even if the touch-sensitive buttons aren't as responsive as traditional buttons.
Ride comfort isn't quite as impressive, and a steady stream of jitters head into the cabin at lower speeds over less-than-perfect roads. Even with the 19-inch wheels, which have a generous amount of shock-absorbing sidewall, the ride managed to feel busier than we expected. That said, the Sorento's ride is well controlled, imparting confidence and a sense of stability at freeway speeds.

Interior
8.5/10
How’s the interior? Despite its small SUV classification, the Sorento offers ample space for adults in all three rows. You'll even find more legroom in the second row than in dedicated two-row SUVs such as the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. Taller adults will have plenty of space. Even the third row is hospitable for adults, though it's a bit of a squeeze to get back there. Getting into the Sorento is otherwise an easy affair.
The Sorento carries over many of Kia's user-friendly attributes, and buyers new to the brand will have no problem getting a handle on the interior. Visibility is also quite good thanks to ample-size windows and good sight lines throughout the cabin. The optional surround-view camera system offers high-definition images and proves helpful in tight situations.

The optional surround-view camera system offers high-definition images and proves helpful in tight situations.
Technology
8.5/10
How’s the tech? Our top-of-the-line test vehicle came decked out with a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation, an upgraded Bose audio system and a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel. The graphics are crisp and creative, but we found some on-screen buttons a bit on the small side. The Bose audio system was slightly less impressive, and we never really found a sweet spot over a wide range of music. The voice command system is the least impressive tech in the Sorento. It lacks natural language recognition and is merely average.
With eight USB ports as well as a wireless charger, passengers won't lack power for their devices. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility is standard, though wireless connectivity is not offered. The Sorento's advanced driver aids are impressive not only in scope but in application. We encountered no false alarms, and with the exception of an overly cautious rear cross-traffic warning system, we had no complaints.

We encountered no false alarms, and with the exception of an overly cautious rear cross-traffic warning system, we had no complaints.
Storage
8.0/10
How’s the storage? With the third-row seats up, there's only 12.6 cubic feet of cargo capacity, which equates to a row of about five grocery bags. Its closest competitor, the Volkswagen Tiguan, offers only 12 cubes, and the larger Subaru Ascent offers up to 17.8 cubes. With the third row dropped, the Sorento offers between 38.5 and 45 cubic feet, depending on how far forward you slide the second-row seats. That's more than the roomy Toyota RAV4 (up to 37.6 cubic feet) and the larger Honda Passport (41.2 cubes). With all the seats down, the Sorento holds 75.5 cubic feet, which is on par with the Honda CR-V.
Interior storage is another Sorento strong suit. Though it lacks the cleverness of Honda's CR-V and Passport, there's ample, well-thought-out storage options in all three rows. Towing capacity for the Sorento PHEV is just 1,654 pounds, while the standard Sorento can tow up to 3,500 pounds.

Fuel Economy
8.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? The EPA says the Sorento Plug-In Hybrid should get 32 miles of EV-only range and deliver 34 mpg combined with the gas engine alone. On our 115-mile testing route, we let the car shift itself between EV-only and hybrid operation, likely how most buyers will use the Sorento PHEV, and it averaged 41 miles to the gallon. That's similar to what we observed in the RAV4 Prime and far exceeds our results in the Wrangler 4xe on the same route.
Value
8.0/10
Is the Sorento Plug-In Hybrid a good value? As we've come to expect from Kia, the Sorento Plug-In Hybrid is well equipped and well built; it's also the most expensive Sorento you can buy. All Sorento Plug-In Hybrids come essentially fully loaded so you certainly do get your money's worth when it comes to features. That said, the amount of hard plastic used throughout its interior is hard to ignore, and the dash treatment doesn't look or feel like it belongs in a car that costs nearly $50,000. It's all screwed together well, and thoughtful details and nice touches like variable ambient lighting keep the Sorento in our good graces.
Kia's warranties are class-leading, and the Sorento comes with five-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage. Roadside assistance is more standard at five years/60,000 miles.

Wildcard
7.0/10
While not exactly a hoot and a holler, the Sorento Plug-In Hybrid manages to be an interesting and efficient addition to the Sorento lineup. Its straight-line speed might be lacking, but what it doesn't carry in outright pace, it more than makes up for usability and an excellent feature set. It's also a far more handsome SUV than the previous Sorento. As for the rest of the Sorento experience, if you can imagine a baby version of the popular Telluride, you're not very far off.
Which Sorento Plug-In Hybrid does Edmunds recommend?
The Sorento Plug-In Hybrid in the SX trim level gives you everything you need while saving you thousands of dollars. The only reason to choose the more expensive SX Prestige is for its added comfort, tech and premium sound system.

2022 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid SX Prestige 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 6A)
I've only had it 10 days and I'm lovin" it! I went 36 miles in EV mode! it has more than enough power. A lot of bells and whistles like the panoramic roof, heated and cooling seats, etc. I got the Gravity Blue (Dark blue with flakes in the paint) which comes with a gray leather interior, I managed a nice 43mpg on the highway and was amazed as it stayed centered in the lane, even as the … road curved. Handles great and is the quietest car I've ever owned. So far nothing to dislike, just some things I saw in the plugin Santa Fe, like window shades in the 2nd row, rain-sensing wipers. It comes with a 3.3KW charger but since this is the top one it should have a least a 6.6KW charger like the RAV4 prime and an 18KW battery instead of a 13KW, which would match the RAV4, but you can't get everything, oh well. This model is just as scarce as the RAV4 prime and believe me, if you search you can get one without the 5-10K over MSRP that a lot are asking which means that eats up all of the tax-saving the Government allows, sad. I drove 100miles to get one without the mark-up. Good luck finding one, scarce as hens teeth right now, LOL
Outstanding new PHEV
5 out of 5 starsKia_is_fantastic, 11/28/2021
2022 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid SX Prestige 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 6A)
Although it isn’t perfect, this is possibly the most versatile PHEV at any price range - lots of room, a third row of seats, decent cargo room with third row seats down, good power, great ride and handling, and very useful tech.
Some drawbacks are too much piano black plastic in high traffic areas, very little cargo space behind third row, compromised towing capacity, and heavy … reliance on touch screen and capacitive buttons.
At its core, the Sorento PHEV is the Swiss Army knife that will suit most families’ needs. Just like a Swiss Army knife, it may not do one particular thing better than a specialized vehicle (e.g., minivans or off road capable SUVs), but it can carry 6 people in decent comfort and and quiet for not an unreasonable amount of money. Only thing is getting one at a decent price at a dealership. I was fortunate to snatch one up before the initial round of inventories disappeared.
1-year update:
All the pros and cons I’ve stated hold true after over 11k miles. One thing that gets a little annoying is the hesitation when transitioning from a stop to acceleration. There are also times when I want to slow down to a crawl but not fully stop (e.g. parking in my driveway) and it stops on its own instead of creeping. I have to think it’s some software that can fix this but there isn’t a TSB issued. Some reviewers in the media have also noted the hesitation and odd stopping issue so I know it’s not just my car.
Other than that, the car has been mostly trouble free and still works well as a family vehicle.
Beware / Faulty Hybrid Battery System
1 out of 5 starsBrian, 12/09/2021
2022 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid SX 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 6A)
I just purchased this car and within a week received multiple error messages -- "Battery Management System" and "Hybrid System" notifications. I took it to the local dealer who said it looks like the hybrid battery requires replacement (one cell showing no power) however nothing can be done in terms of servicing until the dealer hears more from Kia corporate. Since this is the first year … that Kia has made the Sorento PHEV I'm worried that they haven't figured out all the kinks and now I'm stuck without a car as they figure it out. We've never owned a Kia before but had heard great thinks about performance and reliability. My advice would be to wait to see if this hybrid battery issue has a broader reach beyond my one-off issue because it is not fun to pay almost $50K for a car that breaks down in the first week!!
SOOO Much Savings!

Compare the Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid
Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid vs. Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid
Though the Kia Sorento PHEV and Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV spring from the same platform, the Hyundai offers slightly less electric driving range, is a little less efficient when driven as a hybrid, and does not come with a third-row seat. However, the Hyundai is available with a couple of exclusive technologies and includes a more robust package of ownership benefits including complimentary maintenance and a free three-year trial subscription to connected services.
Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid vs. Toyota Highlander Hybrid
The Toyota Highlander Hybrid is not a plug-in hybrid vehicle, so it doesn't offer any pure electric driving range aside from short distances at low speeds, such as when you're stuck in traffic or prowling a parking lot for an open space. Both the Kia and the Toyota offer a third-row seat, but the slightly larger Highlander is more accommodating of passengers and cargo. A second-row bench seat helps the Toyota to carry seven people compared to the Kia's six-person capacity.
Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid vs. Toyota RAV4 Prime
The Toyota RAV4 Prime is smaller than the Kia Sorento Plug-In, offering seating for only five people and less cargo space. But in exchange for these shortfalls, the RAV4 Prime costs less, and because it offers 42 miles of electric driving range, it's also less expensive to operate. The Toyota's gas-electric EPA ratings are superior to the Kia's, too, and the RAV4 Prime makes 302 hp compared to the Sorento's 261 hp. However, the Kia's traditional automatic transmission is preferable to the Toyota's droning electronic continuously variable transmission.
