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.

Got sorento sx phev a few months ago baterry started to go down to 5% when in hev mode. Turned on heater and anything else I could put on to charge the battery up. Went up to 13% then switched back to using battery till 8% and so on. This was on highway for 3 hours. In the beginning would go down to 15% before charging . Took it to dealer who said do not understand and return car to me. Have had 7 sorento never had problems this one dislike it. Paint on outside mirror chipping off. Have had recall on engine fire if have front engine collision. Not bad for 3 months.

We already have an electric auto and love not buying gas and all the other positives of an EV. We like to travel and go to areas that don’t really have the infrastructure to charge an EV so we traded our gas suv for the plug in hybrid luxury Kia Sorrento. This suv is just as luxurious as our trade in Lexus 350 F sport ( top of the line) and gets ridiculous high mpg so far. It gets 32 miles on pure battery which is enough on most days not to use fuel. So far we have 585 miles on the car and have used less than one gallon of gas that was provided buy our dealer . We charge during off peak hours at 6 cents/ KW. Very inexpensive. The car has tremendous safety equipment, rides great, fully luxury amenities like cooled seats, etc. Highly recommend!

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.
