Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryThe Sorento is one of the longest-running nameplates in Kia’s lineup, first appearing as a 2002 model, and it has evolved over subsequent generations into Kia’s competitor to three-row SUVs like the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, and Toyota Highlander. With the larger Kia Telluride now in the lineup, the Sorento distinguishes itself in part by offering more-efficient powertrain options. The current fourth-generation Sorento launched for the 2021 model year with gasoline and hybrid powertrains, with the plug-in hybrid joining the lineup for 2022. As a three-row midsize plug-in hybrid crossover, the Sorento PHEV doesn’t have many direct competitors. The more rugged Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe doesn’t have third-row seating. The Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid does have a third row, but it's squeezed into a smaller package. Finally, the Mazda CX-90 PHEV (which launched as a 2024 model) aims for a more premium feel. The Sorento is due for a refresh for the 2024 model year, so changes for 2023 are minimal. | |
