EV Channels Review

The 2021 Kia Sorento PHEV is presented as a compelling option in the SUV market, particularly for those seeking electrified powertrains. The review highlights its new Smartstream engines, with specific focus on the hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants. The PHEV model boasts a combined output of 262 hp from its 1.6-liter turbo-hybrid system and a 66.9 kW electric motor, offering an estimated 48 km (30 miles) of all-electric range. The vehicle's new N3 platform is praised for its integration of components, maximizing interior space and contributing to a lower center of gravity for improved handling and ride comfort.
