Absolutely love my new Kia Sorrento Plug-in Hybrid!
Love it BUT....
Purchased 2022 PEHV Prestige in July. Have been extremely happy with it. Have driven it twice to Arizona and back. Both dealers in MO and AZ do not have fix for Fire recall. Now the battery is totally dead and if I try to charge the battery the car goes nuts with high pitched squeal and flashing lights. Not sure AI trust it will be a long term member of this family.

Epic Vehicle
If I just use it for my morning commute it gets a steady 999 miles per gallon. No joke. Just drive lesson that 32 miles a day, and plug it in. Nothing to complain about! On longer trips I use in all electric mode for city driving and then force it into HEV for the highway. I consistently get 60mpg when doing it this way. The only thing to complain about here is that it isn't a minivan. If you use the third row, no, you don't get any meaningful storage in the back. Other than that, nothing here Tom complain about. Epic.

After a year, still lovin' it!
I bought this 2022 Kia Sorento PHEV SX Prestige in March 2022. Took a while to find one, and had to pay $1000 over sticker, but that was the norm for a new car last year. I "was" driving a Honda Clarity PHEV so I knew a PHEV was a must for me, and I now I'm fairly comfortable with the minor differences from a gas vehicle. But I needed a 3rd row because I'm hauling around my grandkids to and from places all day long. My choices were a Volvo XC90, Lincoln Aviator, or this. This vehicle by far was the obvious choice. Pricewise, it blew the others out of the water. Also, all features are standard, including leather seats and ventilated front seats, which are a MUST for me. It's roomy enough for everything I need, but not oversized where I have trouble getting it in the garage. I'm at 13,500 miles and not an issue, yet. Not recall because I don't have the tow package. The gas mileage is amazing and I literally fill the 9 gallon tank up once every 6-7 weeks, because I'm doing short trips all day (no more that 35 miles) so I'm able to drive all electric most of time and recharge between trips. One difference from the Clarity.... I could force the clarity to stay in EV mode 99% of the time no matter what electric consuming features I was using, but the Sorento will automatically go the HEV mode if you have the heated seats and steering wheel on and the heat turned up. It's a battery saving feature and it really does make sense, so not such a bad thing. And that feature makes sure the engine gets used more often which will keep it in better shape in the long run. The only complaint I have about performance - there a glitch in the acceleration (probably a safety feature) where if you are stopped on a steep downhill, like at a stopsign, and you go to pull out onto a level surface, there's like a 2 second delay in the accelleration - not a huge deal, but if youre trying to get out in front of oncoming traffic quickly, it really gives you a scare when it doesn't move right away. I AM able to override this by putting the car in sport mode (which reduces your gas mileage), but who has time to think about that. I just have gotten used to knowing it's not gonna accelerate quickly in that situation and I am more careful.
