The new Kia Sorento also comes as a plug-in hybrid

Of course, in addition to electrified propulsion, the new Kia Sorento will also offer conventional internal combustion engines, but the plug-in hybrid version of the car is also becoming increasingly important. We waited a long time for the details about the PHEV version, but now Kia has definitely decided to come to light with the truth.

In the “green” specification, the car will be powered by a 1.6 T-GDI four-cylinder petrol engine with a turbocharger and a solid output of 132 kW (180 hp) and 265 Nm. Kia then connected an electric unit with an output of 67 kW and 304 Nm. With 13.8 kWh batteries. All four wheels will be driven through an automatic six-speed transmission.

Sorento PHEV is the strongest version in the model line. The system output is 265 hp and 350 Nm of torque. According to the manufacturer, the big advantage of the novelty will also be spaciousness. Thanks to the new platform on which the car is built and where the batteries are in the floor under the driver’s seat, the SUV will also be sold in the PHEV version as a seven-seater or five-seater car.

The space inside will be easily modulatable, and when both rows of seats are folded down in the seven-seater variant, the driver will have a luggage compartment of 809 liters.

The model will go on sale in the Czech Republic at the beginning of 2021, versions with an internal combustion engine will be in car showrooms even earlier.
