2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid
The Low-Maintenance Hybrid
When the Kia Sorento was launched more than 20 years ago, we doubt anyone was thinking of a hybrid version of it down the line. Yet, here we are with the 2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid capturing hearts once again, but for new reasons.
If you’re looking for Kia cars, Carolina Kia of High Point is one of the highest-rated car dealerships in all of North Carolina. Even if you’re looking for a 2024 Kia Sorento for sale in High Point and the surrounding areas (instead of the hybrid version), we’re sure we can get you a phenomenal deal on one.
Below, we’ll tell you all about what’s got us excited about the hybrid version of the Sorento, and why it might be one of the best SUVs of the year.
What kind of car is the 2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid?
Just like the other Sorento, this one’s a mid-size SUV. But don’t let the “mid-size” tag fool you. With three-row seating, you can get the whole crew riding with you for all your trips.
What SUVs does the 2024 Kia Sorento compete against?
If you’re looking for a head-to-head comparison with other SUVs, think of a Toyota Highlander Hybrid, a Ford Explorer Hybrid, or a Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid.
Why should I buy a hybrid instead of an EV?
There’s a lot of reasons why people feel more comfortable with hybrids over gas-powered cars or EVs:
Hybrids are a middle ground between gas-powered vehicles and EVs in a way that they combine convenience with practicality. They’re better for the environment while giving you the option to switch powertrains when you need to.
Because hybrids use a combination of electric motors and regular gas engines, you can automatically go further for less with a hybrid.
Besides big gas savings compared to the classic platforms, there are more hybrid options on the market compared to EVs. As of now, drivers just see hybrids as a more practical option.
What does the 2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid look like?
The exterior features a redone front grille compared to the previous version of the Sorento. Along with it, we now have sleek, stylish head and tail lights, along with a sportier look that seems to be the trend across all new Kia cars.
What kind of performance can I expect from the 2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid?
The Sorento Hybrid has a 1.6L engine at its heart combined with an electric motor to generate 227 hp and 258 lb. ft. of torque. In terms of fuel economy, you can expect an EPA-estimated 35 MPG on the highway, which should lead to a rough driving range of over 600 miles with the FWD trim.
How many trims can I expect on the 2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid?
There are two trims:
- The Sorento Hybrid EX, which is the base model with features like a 10.25-inch touchscreen display, a Smart Power tailgate, and some advanced security features.
- The Sorento Hybrid SX Prestige is the premium trim, which has everything the EX has, plus some extra cool features, LED headlights and tail lights, along with 19-inch alloy wheels.
