Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Things we like
Good electric/hybrid handover
Fuel and battery efficiency
Build quality
Not so much

Cons
Hefty price
Compromised load area
Under-servoed brakes
Paranoid parking assistance

By:

The X3 has never done BMW much credit, but the current one is a thorough enough job to take on the class best.

Pros
Good ride and handling,
fine engines,
well-finished cabin,
many high-tech options

Cons
Note that word 'options'. And the steering is a bit numb,
not helped by the thick steering wheel

By: 
topgear.com

PROS
Good power and response in hybrid mode
Premium styling and high-quality cabin
Plenty of space for adults front and rear

CONS
Not a lot of grunt in EV mode
Short real-world EV range
Battery packaging impedes on cargo space

All-new plug-in hybrid model

Pros
Impressive number of standard and optional features
Lots of second- and third-row legroom for the class
Sharp-looking and easy-to-use infotainment system

Cons
Not as compact as the last-generation Sorento

By: 
edmunds.com

A plug-in-hybrid model joins the Sorento lineup for the 2022 model year. Its powertrain combines a turbocharged four-cylinder and six-speed automatic transmission with an electric motor for a total system output of 261 horsepower. 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. 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.

Pros
Looks classy and rugged inside and out,
lots of powertrain options,
pleasant to drive,
and comfy to ride in.

Cons
Adults should avoid the third row,
bigger touchscreen skips wireless smartphone mirroring,
cargo space can be compromised.
