If you’re looking for a midsize SUV with excellent fuel economy, take a look at the Kia Sorento Hybrid at your local Kia dealer in Frederick, MD. The standard Sorento has been a top pick for safety and performance for many years, and the hybrid option adds efficiency to the list of reasons they are a great buy.
Introducing the 2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid
Efficiency Without Plugging In
The gas-electric hybrid charges the battery while you drive, so you never need to hunt for an outlet. Regenerative braking even captures the energy lost when you drop your speed to minimize waste from the energy your turbocharged engine produces. Drive modes allow you to adjust how your engine responds to maximize your battery life or for more power output.
Impressive Range for Longer Trips
At an estimated 37 miles per gallon combined, the Sorento Hybrid is at the top of its class in fuel economy. Coupled with a 17.7-gallon gas tank, you can go up to 655 miles before needing a refill. That’s a great feature for long trips where pit stops may be few and far between.
Power With Traditional-Driver Appeal
With the Sorento Hybrid model’s 1.6-liter turbo hybrid powertrain, you get 227 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Unlike many hybrid engines, the 6-speed automatic transmission still shifts through the gears by wire, so you retain the traditional driving sensation.
The electric motor allows ready access to the turbocharged engine’s torque, so the response is instantaneous when you put your foot on the pedal.
Flexible Interior Space
The Sorento has standard second-row captain’s chairs and third-row seating for up to six passengers. The third-row split-folding bench seat can be partially or fully folded down to extend your cargo space depending on who or what you’re carrying.
A Smart Power Tailgate opens automatically with the Smart Key to allow for hands-free access. The floor opens up to reveal extra storage space if you need more height or just a spot to tuck things away out of sight.
Connected Technology
The central 10.25-inch touchscreen features Kia Connect, including access to navigation, diagnostics, entertainment, and connection to your smartphone through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Kia Connect also offers remote features such as Climate Control, Find My Car, and Remote Start through an app, even when you’re not actually in your car.
When you’re traveling with multiple devices, eight standard USB outlets will allow everyone to keep charged for the whole trip, with no arguing about whose turn it is.
Safety Comes Standard from Your Kia Dealer
All of Kia’s vehicles come with Kia Drive Wise Driver Assist Technology. This suite of advanced safety features includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assistance, Cross-Traffic Avoidance Assistance, and Following and Lane-Keeping Assistance to help keep you safe and on the road.
The Sorento Hybrid is a great option for a fuel-efficient SUV that offers everything you love about a traditional vehicle without the hefty charge at the gas pump. Visit DARCARS Kia of Frederick, MD, today to explore our exciting lineup of hybrid vehicles.
