2021 Sorento Hybrid

The power to push farther.

HYBRID BENEFITS

Welcome to the hybrid life.

Real Driving Feel

Unlike other “gearless” hybrids, Sorento Hybrid shifts by wire through a full gearbox, so it still feels like driving. Thrilling driving at that.

Thrilling Acceleration

Hit the pedal and feel the instant torque of the combination electric motor and turbocharged engine—launching you forward into your next new experience.

Extended Road Trip Range

Adventures last longer with Sorento Hybrid's range of up to 655 miles. So drop a pin on the map, pack up, and revel in the thrill of discovery.

No Plugs or Charging

No charging stations or garage charging necessary. Sorento Hybrid recharges its battery with regenerative braking while you drive, so you can hit the road without planning for charges.

Customize Your Drive

Four drive modes adjust the throttle response, gearshift points, regenerative braking and more, so you can push for more power or conserve battery charge.

KIA DRIVE WISE

Avoid life’s obstacles.

Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go

Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go Available Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go (SCC w/ S&G) can help maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead and bring the Sorento Hybrid to a stop in traffic, even putting you back in motion when traffic advances with a tap of the accelerator.

Blind Spot Assistance

Standard Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist-Rear (BCA-R) can also help alert drivers to other vehicles and even intervene with the brakes in some cases.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assistance with Pedestrian Detection

Standard Forward Collision-Avoidance Assistance with Pedestrian Detection (FCA-Ped) can help avoid collisions with cars and pedestrians ahead, while available Forward Collision-Avoidance Assistance with Junction Turning Assist (FCA-JT) can help detect oncoming vehicles while turning through an intersection.

Rear Occupant Aler with Ultrasonic Sensors

Standard Rear Occupant Alert with Ultrasonic Sensors (ROA w/US) can help alert you if the rear seat is occupied when exiting the vehicle, or get a notification to your compatible device if the vehicle senses movement inside while you’re away.

Safe Exit Assist

Standard Safe Exit Assist (SEA) can help alert driver and passengers to potential hazards approaching from behind before exiting the vehicle, even activating the child locks.

Lane Following Assist

Leading Vehicle Departure Alert

The available Leading Vehicle Departure Alert (LVDA) system alerts the driver when a leading vehicle begins to move forward from a still position.

INTERIOR & CARGO

QUALITY TESTING

Tested for strength. And then some.

Global Testing
Your new Sorento has a sibling that has seen it all, tested in some of the world’s most grueling  environments, from Alaskan tundra to Death Valley desert, all to create a vehicle with capability for whatever’s out there.

Extreme Temperatures
Test vehicles are repeatedly frozen to -40ºF and then driven to the limit of performance at 130ºF—near the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth—demonstrating their resolve under intense pressure.

Pushed to the Limit
Testing covers all kinds of excessive and severe conditions—from extreme radiation to magnified heat and a corrosive saltwater bath—preparing Sorento for whatever comes its way.
