The PHEV Sorento is one of the best vehicles we have ever owned. It has all the bells and whistles and gets more then 100 MPG equivalent. We only fill up the 11 gallons needed about once a month. It is incredible!

This car doesn't get enough good praises. Bought this used with 25k miles. We've had 3 PHEVs and this one is the most well-rounded PHEV. We had the Chrysler Pacifica PHEV, BMW X3 PHEV, and Audi Q5 PHEV. All are good but all lack in certain areas. Pacifica was great for the family. 30+ mile range on electric but had problems. BMW and Audi are good but mainly focus on speed and not range. Only ~20 mile range which is not that much. The Sorento consistently gives us 30+ miles range. It does everything right. It's not the fastest SUV, but it's quicker than the Pacifica. Our family is finally shrinking so we can deal with the smaller space. The back seat is usable for short occasions with minimal luggage. Without charging the Sorento will average ~28 mpg on the highway fully loaded. That's pretty good. What's not so good is the size of the gas tank.... The most I've ever put in was 10 gallons. With no charge you can only go around 300 miles. With a charge you can go much further. Overall, this car is worth every penny. Wish Kia made the Telluride a PHEV!!

Great EV mile range / Poor gas range

I drove about 20k miles and I had a great experience so far. Electric only range is rated 31miles but it often gets near 40miles from full charge in ideal temperature (70-90 F). In cold weathers (20-40F), it can drop to about 27miles but it is sufficient enough to get around town for chores. A couple things I want is the heatpump so that the car can blow hot air without starting the engine and self-charging capability since this car’s hybrid mode only conserves current battery charge level. Other issues I am finding are related to electronics. The wired apple carplay often lags pretty badly and making the map function completely useless. I missed an exit or missed a turn many times due to the issue. Another issue is related to the electric child lock. I owned it for about an year and already the electric child lock is dead on the passenger side door. Other than those issues, this car drives solid. Electric motor is potent enough to push the car and get up to 60mph similar to other cars on the road. Suspension is pretty hard but it is not too harsh and gives more stable feeling. I paid for no gas in town thanks to the great EV range and it saved me a lot of money. I highly suggest considering the Kia Sorento PHEV

Still love the car after 18 months

We've had the 2022 SX model for 18 months and we love it. The gas mileage is great and it handles fantastic in the snow when we've taken it to the mountains. The inside has lots of seating room and is very comfortable. The safety features are above and beyond other car brands (even more luxury brands).
Best vehicle I've ever been in

We were mainly considering a Lexus RX450h hybrid, among a handful of other luxury SUVs, before considering the Sorento, and we are extremely happy we went with the Kia. We live in an area where we never run out of battery in full EV mode, which is a huge gas savings. For vacation we were able to get about 31 mpg without trying to get good gas mileage which was awesome. And the features are great, even coming from a fully loaded 2019 Accord it impresses. The folding side mirrors and electronic hatch are more useful than we expected. The ventilated seats are strong and the heated seats and steering wheel are so nice when you need them. And the best part is probably the feature that keeps the car in the middle of the lane. It's almost like the car is driving itself. When I drove with it off when it was windy, it was such a pain, but enabling that feature makes driving in the wind almost effortless. It's not perfect but it works way better than I ever expected it to work, and it makes road trips much less fatiguing overall. The ride is also very good, pretty much on par with the RX450h. Great car for road trips!!
