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.
