The Sorento with the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder is estimated to earn up to 24 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. Our 2022 Kia Sorento Had Its Transmission Replaced. ![]() Tested: Kia Sorento Is Compelling in Hybrid Form.Tested: Kia Sorento Satisfies High Expectations.When equipped with the towing package, the Sorento can pull up to 3500 pounds. The plug-in version of the hybrid features the same engine and transmission, but it makes a combined 261 horsepower and has a larger 66.9-kW electric motor and is all-wheel drive only. The eco-friendly Sorento hybrid features the combination of a turbo 1.6-liter four-cylinder gas engine and a 44.0-kW electric motor that together generate 227 horsepower. The same model delivered poised handling, a nicely isolated ride, and firm brake-pedal feedback. We drove a top-of-the-line SX trim with the turbo four and appreciated its noticeable thrust, but we wish the powertrain felt more responsive off the line. Both pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the hybrid model uses a six-speed automatic. A 191-hp 2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder engine is standard and a 281-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder is available too. The Sorento has a wide selection of engine options and is available with front- or all-wheel drive. It also has nicer amenities than the trims below it, including leatherette upholstery, heated front seats, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, remote start, and snazzier styling such as 17-inch wheels and black exterior accents. It's pricier than the base Sorento, but it comes standard with the turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder hybrid powertrain that's more powerful than the base nonhybrid offering. ![]() While we don't know how much the PHEV variant will cost, we know it'll be offered in two top-tier trims: SX and SX-P. All-wheel drive is standard, and Kia claims the plug-in Sorento has a combined fuel-economy rating of 79 MPGe and an electric-only range of 32 miles. Its powertrain combines a turbocharged four-cylinder and six-speed automatic transmission with an electric motor for a total system output of 261 horsepower. ![]() What's New for 2022?Ī plug-in-hybrid model joins the Sorento lineup for the 2022 model year. The entire package is cohesive and packed with popular standard and optional features, making the 2022 Sorento one of the better options in its class and an Editors' Choice award winner. No matter what's providing the motivation, the Kia has a smooth ride and satisfying handling characteristics. Unlike the Telluride, the Sorento is available as a hybrid or plug-in hybrid, which help maximize fuel efficiency. Keep the third row stowed, however, and its nicely appointed cabin becomes a comfortable place for a small family. Both Kia models are handsome and have three rows, but adults won't want to spend much time in the Sorento's far-back seats, and when those seats are upright they limit its cargo capacity. With more powertrain options and a smaller footprint, the 2022 Kia Sorento is a compelling substitute for the larger Kia Telluride. ![]()
