Kia Sorento 1.6 T-GDi PHEV Edition 5dr Auto Review

The model
Read full Kia Sorento reviewThe Sorento is a brilliant seven-seat SUV and, while it's relatively expensive, it comes with loads of standard equipment and great practicality. Most buyers will be best served by the hybrid (HEV) model, although the plug-in (PHEV) will appeal to company car drivers.
The trim
See full equipmentThis is now your only trim choice for the Sorento, but it comes with everything you’d need and more.
The engine
See full engine specsThe PHEV uses the same engine as the self-charging Sorento but has 261bhp, a quicker 8.4sec 0-62mph time and it will travel (officially) for up to 35 miles on a single battery charge. It's a great option for company car buyers looking to save tax, but not our favourite because it's more expensive than the HEV. If you can keep the battery charged up all the time it will save you a lot on fuel, though.
