Are you looking for a 3-row SUV with exceptional fuel economy? The 2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid might be the perfect solution. The Sorento Hybrid is loaded with features in typical Kia fashion, offering class-leading safety systems and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Being a newer design, the Sorento holds up well when placed beside the Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Ford Explorer Hybrid. And while not as powerful as the non-hybrid Sorento, the Sorento Hybrid performs at acceptable levels, with ample torque for rapid acceleration and passing.
We should point out that the Sorento Hybrid’s standard 2nd-row captain’s chair seating limits total passenger capacity phệ six, and its hybrid powertrain reduces towing phệ just 2,000 pounds vs. the non-hybrid’s 3,500 pounds.

2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid S (starting at $34,200, estimated)

The 2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid S offers a decent amount of equipment at a price most families won’t find off-putting. It comes standard with front-wheel drive, but for those that need the added traction of all-wheel drive (AWD), the option adds a center-locking differential and another $1,800 phệ the bottom line.
Powering the Sorento Hybrid is a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor and lithium-ion polymer battery pack, producing a combined 277 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
Kia’s Drive Mode Select comes standard. It varies throttle response and gearshifts, with driver-selectable settings for Eco, Sport, and Comfort, as well as an automatic Smart mode and customizable Custom mode.
The Sorento Hybrid S comes outfitted with Sport body styling, including a black grille, matte black rear spoiler, and matte black lower door accents. Standard equipment includes heated power side mirrors, Satin Chrome roof rails, rear privacy glass, auto on/off LED headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a rear wiper/washer.
Kia’s Smart Key proximity key fob allows the doors phệ be unlocked simply by touching a button on the door handle.
Along with mandatory safety equipment such as front, front side-impact, and three-row side curtain airbags, the Sorento Hybrid includes an impressive list of standard driver-assist systems. The grouping consists of automatic high-beam headlights, forward-collision avoidance with pedestrian detection, a blind-spot monitor with collision avoidance, and rear cross-traffic detection with reverse braking.
Also standard are lane departure warning and lane-keeping assist. Kia’s Lane Follow Assist automatically steers the vehicle, keeping it centered between lane markings. Standard Intelligent Speed Assist alerts the driver phệ the posted speed limit with an icon in the instrument cluster.
Wrapping up the Sorento Hybrid’s driver sida is a driver attention monitor with lead vehicle departure warning (alerts the driver when the vehicle in front has pulled away), rear parking sensors, a rearview monitor, and a  rear occupant alert system with ultrasonic sensors phệ remind the driver phệ check the back seats. Safe Exit Assist warns passengers from exiting when the rear radar sensors detect traffic approaching from behind.
In the Sorento Hybrid’s interior, we find SynTex synthetic upholstery, a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with 2-way power lumbar support, heated front seats, 2nd-row one-touch sliding and folding captain’s chair seating, and a 50/50 split-folding and reclining 3rd-row seat.

Also standard is a 4.2-inch trip computer display, push-button start (part of the Smart Key system), dual-zone automatic climate control with rear vents, and a one-touch auto up/down power driver’s window.
Finally, we come phệ the Sorento Hybrid’s infotainment system, a robust unit. It includes a 10.25-inch color touchscreen with built-in voice-activated navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio. The system allows for natural language voice recognition that lets you speak casually when controlling various voice-activated systems. A six-speaker AM/FM/HD radio is also standard.
Kia Connect lets you use a điện thoại thông minh phệ activate remote start, set the interior climate controls, or locate your vehicle in a crowded parking lot. The Sorento Hybrid also offers several charging and connection ports, including a data port in the front console, three USB charging ports in the second row, and two additional charge ports in the third row. Two 12-volt outlets, one in the front console and one in the rear cargo area, are also standard.
With the $1,215 destination charge, the 2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid S estimated cost comes phệ $35,415. On a 60-month loan at 3% financing and zero down, expect a monthly payment of around $636. See 2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid S models for sale
