Used 2023 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Kia Sorento Plug-in Hybrid is available in a single trim level: SX-P. Ostensibly, the "P" is shorthand for last year's Prestige trim since the SX-P is the same fully loaded version. The Sorento PHEV is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, a 66.9-kW electric motor and a 14-kWh battery pack. These components combine to generate 261 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission powers a torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system with a locking center differential. Standard equipment includes: 

  • 19-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights, foglights and taillights
  • Roof rails
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Heated, power-adjustable exterior mirrors
  • Remote keyless entry
  • Hands-free power liftgate
  • LED interior lighting
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Leather upholstery
  • 14-way power-adjustable driver's seat
  • 10-way power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Second-row captain's chairs
  • Second-row sunshades
  • 50/50-split folding third-row seat
  • Heated rear seats
  • Eight USB ports
  • 115-volt AC plug
  • Heated leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • 12.3-inch digital gauge display

Infotainment and tech features include:

  • 10.25-inch touchscreen display
  • Navigation
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Wireless smartphone charger
  • 12-speaker Bose premium sound system
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Kia and the car in front)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Sorento and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Automatic high beams

Which Sorento Plug-In Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?

With one trim level and no optional features, there's not much to recommend. Although we might suggest spending a bit extra to get the Sorento Plug-in Hybrid in its striking Runway Red color.
