EV Channels Review
The 2022 Kia Sorento Hybrid receives a positive first impression, with reviewers noting it offers a slightly more refined driving experience than its gas-powered counterpart, featuring a smoother ride and a more substantial feel. The powertrain delivers nice, linear power, though a slight initial delay is present. The interior is praised for its straightforward and responsive 10.25-inch infotainment system, and the abundance of physical buttons for most controls is appreciated. However, the move towards touch-capacitive controls for climate and seat heating is flagged as a distraction while driving. A notable quirk is the loss of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto when opting for the larger touchscreen, which is standard on the hybrid models. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Sorento Hybrid is recommended as a strong contender for those seeking a fuel-efficient, mid-size SUV.
