1. Efficiency and Power
The new Sorento PHEV is offered in two trim levels, both featuring the same hybrid powertrain configuration. Under the hood of this three-row SUV is a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder unit and an AC synchronous permanent magnet motor, generating a total system output of 261 horsepower and 258 pounds of torque. Both models get a 14-kWh battery pack that can be charged in as little as four hours using an EVSE 240V charger.
With torque-vectoring all-wheel drive technology, a center-locking differential, and four selectable drive modes, the Sorento PHEV is ready to conquer tough terrains and take you on offroad adventures. When it comes to fuel consumption, both trims get an estimated 74 MPGe and an autonomous all-electric range of 31 miles. Other standard mechanical features include an independent MacPherson strut front suspension, a multi-link rear suspension, an electronic parking brake, and four-wheel disc braking with anti-lock.
2. Versatility, Space, and Comfort
If you are in the market for a vehicle that turns even the longest road trips into a comfortable and enjoyable experience, the new Sorento PHEV is one of the best options available in the market. Both trims boast not only a futuristic and highly functional cabin but also plenty of desirable perks, including heated front seats, second-row captain’s chairs, solar control glass, privacy glass, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Featuring a 110.8-inch wheelbase, the Sorento PHEV is perfect for taking your loved ones on road trips and adventures. Both trims can carry up to six adults comfortably, offering 41.4 inches of legroom in the driver and front passenger seats, 40.3 inches in the middle, and 29.6 inches in the rear row. The cargo capacity of this SUV can be expanded from 12.6 to 75.5 cubic feet with the rear seat backs folded down.
3. Safety and Driver-Assist Features
When it comes to active safety features, both trim levels of the new Sorento PHEV are equipped with plenty of innovative systems that help you prevent accidents on the road. These include a rearview monitor with dynamic parking guidance, vehicle stability management, electronic stability control, a tire-pressure monitoring system, hill-start assist, front collision-avoidance assist with cyclist, junction, and pedestrian detection, and navigation-based smart cruise control.
