Along with a standard third row, its second-row bench can be swapped for a pair of captain's chairs. A variety of cubby storage spots and cupholders also fill out the console. The rest of the design blends rhombus-shaped air vents integrated ambient lighting, and intricately stitched surfaces on the door panels and seat inserts. The dashboard can be outfitted with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 10.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Inside, the Sorento has an attractive layout, nice materials, and solid build quality. For more information about the Sorento's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. Once we have the chance to run these powertrains on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, we can evaluate the SUV's real-world mpg. Kia also claims the PHEV can travel up to 32 miles on electricity alone on a single charge. The plug-in hybrid has a combined rating of 79 MPGe, but its city and highway estimates are listed at 35 and 33 mpg, respectively.

The Sorento with the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder is estimated to earn up to 24 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.

The plug-in version of the hybrid features the same engine and transmission, but it makes a combined 261 horsepower and has a larger 66.9-kW electric motor and is all-wheel drive only. The eco-friendly Sorento hybrid features the combination of a turbo 1.6-liter four-cylinder gas engine and a 44.0-kW electric motor that together generate 227 horsepower. The same model delivered poised handling, a nicely isolated ride, and firm brake-pedal feedback. We drove a top-of-the-line SX trim with the turbo four and appreciated its noticeable thrust, but we wish the powertrain felt more responsive off the line. Both pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the hybrid model uses a six-speed automatic. A 191-hp 2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder engine is standard and a 281-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder is available too. The Sorento has a wide selection of engine options and is available with front- or all-wheel drive.

However, the upgrade now comes with content from the X-Line appearance package that includes a 1.0-inch higher ride height, 20-inch wheels, a bridge-type roof rack, and other exclusive exterior details. Pairing all-wheel drive with the EX trim costs an extra $3700, which is $1900 more than the previous model year. It also has nicer amenities than the S trim below it that includes leatherette upholstery, heated front seats, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, remote start, and snazzier styling such as 18-inch wheels and black exterior accents. It's pricier than the bottom two models, but it comes standard with the more powerful 281-hp turbo four.
