Hybrid Powertrain Meets Go Anywhere Performance
At the core of the new Kia Sorento Turbo Hybrid is a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine paired with an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery. Together, this hybrid system produces 235 PS and 367 Nm of torque, offering smooth acceleration and responsive power through a 6-speed automatic transmission.
It comes in both front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) options. It also features selectable drive modes—Eco, Sport, and Smart—along with three terrain-specific settings—Snow, Mud, and Sand—to help optimize traction on different surfaces.
With this flexibility, plus Kia’s advanced Electrification Vehicle Motion Control (E-VMC) system, the Sorento Turbo Hybrid ensures a smooth, responsive, and adaptable driving experience no matter the conditions.
E-VMC technology improves handling, comfort, and safety by using the electric motor for better stability during quick maneuvers, boosting driver confidence on all terrains. On top of that, the Smart Regeneration feature adjusts battery regeneration based on speed, distance, and road conditions, ensuring optimal battery performance.
With its hybrid powertrain, the Sorento Turbo Hybrid offers up to 23 km/l in the city and is exempt from the number coding scheme.
