2025 KIA Sorento Hybrid

The Sorento Hybrid is available in 2 well-appointed trims, the EX and the SX Prestige, each showcasing a modern, athletic exterior that reflects Kia’s design-forward philosophy. The EX begins with an elegant foundation: LED projector headlights, LED fog lamps, roof rails, and 19-inch machined alloy wheels with gloss black inserts. Its Smart Power Liftgate and hybrid-specific aerodynamic details underline the SUV’s practicality and efficiency. Stepping into the SX Prestige brings even more refinement, with LED taillights, auto-folding side mirrors, and rain-sensing windshield wipers adding both luxury and convenience. Matte black cladding balances the polished chrome accents, giving the Sorento Hybrid a distinctive presence that is as stylish cruising through downtown Mooresville as it is rugged enough for exploring North Carolina’s scenic backroads.

Beneath the sculpted exterior lies an advanced hybrid powertrain. A 1.6L Turbocharged four-cylinder engine pairs seamlessly with an electric motor, producing a combined 227 hp and 258 lbs.-ft. of torque. This system is mated to a smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission, offering drivers both responsive performance and impressive efficiency. The hybrid setup ensures that power delivery feels effortless, whether navigating I-77 toward Charlotte or winding roads along Lake Norman.

The Sorento Hybrid has been engineered to inspire confidence across every drive. Its low center of gravity enhances stability, while Drive Mode Select allows you to tailor the ride to your preference, with Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Smart modes available. For drivers who encounter winter weather in the Carolina foothills, the SX Prestige adds a Snow Mode for improved traction. Available torque-vectoring all-wheel drive with a center-locking differential ensures the Sorento Hybrid remains composed even on slippery or uneven terrain, making it an excellent companion for weekend mountain getaways. Regenerative braking further elevates the driving experience, capturing energy during deceleration and channeling it back into the battery to enhance efficiency.

Inside, the Sorento Hybrid offers a cabin that rivals premium competitors in comfort and design. With seating for 6, passengers can enjoy expansive space, especially with available second-row captain’s chairs. Heated front seats come standard, while the SX Prestige enhances the experience with ventilated front seats, heated second-row seating, and supple premium leather upholstery. Technology takes center stage with an available dual 24-inch digital display, combining Kia’s advanced navigation system with a crystal-clear Bose® audio system. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ provide seamless connectivity, while available wireless charging keeps devices powered on the go. Tri-zone automatic climate control ensures every passenger enjoys comfort, and sound-damping glass maintains serenity inside, even during highway travel. The generous cargo area expands to 75.5 cu. ft., offering flexibility for everything from weekly errands to family adventures. A panoramic sunroof adds natural light, creating an inviting and airy atmosphere.

Kia equips the Sorento Hybrid with an extensive suite of standard safety features, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind-Spot Avoidance, and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go. For those who frequently travel the highways between Mooresville and Charlotte, Highway Driving Assist reduces stress by maintaining distance and lane centering. The SX Prestige trim elevates confidence further with a 360-degree Surround View Monitor and Parking Distance Warning, making tight maneuvers in city parking lots effortless. Together with its strong build quality and advanced driver-assistance systems, the Sorento Hybrid provides peace of mind that enhances every journey.
