New 2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid in Bassett, VA

Many rivals of the 2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid can make it difficult for shoppers to choose the most suitable model and powertrain combination from a raft of confusing options. But the Sorento keeps things about as simple as they could possibly be. Even though the Sorento is available in Hybrid and Plug-on Hybrid versions, there are still only three models to choose from. The Sorento Hybrid is available in an entry-level EX trim and a higher-specification SX Premium model, while the Sorento PHEV is only offered in the SX Premium trim.

Despite its midsize dimensions and classification and its small family, the interior of the Sorento Hybrid is surprisingly spacious. While the third-row seats are the standard midsize compromise, the front and second rows have all the space you could reasonably ask for. With 41 inches of legroom and colossal door openings, getting in and out and sitting in the Sorento’s second row is about as comfortable as it gets.

The standard specification of the Sorento Hybrid EX is impressive, and most shoppers would be more than happy with it. But maybe that is only until they see the specification they could have with the SX Prestige. On top of the generous EX specification, the SX Premium adds LED projector headlights and DRLs, rain-sensing wipers, 19-inch alloy wheels, a fully digital instrument cluster with a 12.3-inch LCD display, 12-speaker premium Bose sound system, genuine leather and cloth-trimmed seats, 14-way power driver’s seat, heated rear seats, and heated and ventilated front seats.
