Our Elk Grove Kia team near Stockton takes a look.
Quick Overview of the Kia Sorento
The Kia Sorento is one of those easy-to-spot SUVs on Sacramento streets and highways. Signature badging, an iconic Kia grille, and sporty styling define its exterior and interior. Available in a dizzying total of 10+ trims and models, two of those trims are hybrid models: the Kia Sorento EX Hybrid and the Kia Sorento SX Prestige Hybrid.
There's also a SX Prestige PHEV, the uppermost trim. In most trims, two powerful four-cylinder engines pair with a sport-tuned automatic transmission. The hybrid benefits from a four-cylinder and an electric motor to make 227 horsepower.
