Meet the 2027 Kia Sorento PHEV: Electric Efficiency with Room for the Whole Family

The 2027 Kia Sorento PHEV offers a strong option for families who want the benefits of electric driving without planning every road trip around a charging station. It pairs plug-in hybrid efficiency with standard AWD, six-passenger seating and three functional rows, along with a gas engine for longer journeys.

55 KM Without Touching the Gas

For errands, school runs and shorter commutes, the 2027 Kia Sorento PHEV offers up to 55 km of electric driving range from its 13.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. Once you need to go farther, the gas-electric setup keeps the trip moving, with a listed fuel range of 681 km. Combined efficiency is rated at 2.8 Le/100 km, giving this Kia a practical middle ground between a conventional SUV and a fully electric vehicle.

261 HP Meets Standard AWD

Under the hood, a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine works with a 67-kW electric motor to produce 261 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Power is handled through a six-speed automatic transmission, and AWD comes standard. There is also a 1,323 pounds towing capacity, useful when the weekend plan involves a small trailer rather than another run to the grocery store.

Six Seats Without Sacrificing Flexibility

The three-row cabin uses a 2+2+2 seating configuration, so the 2027 Kia Sorento PHEV seats six and gives second-row passengers captain's chairs. Cargo room starts at 357 litres behind the third row. Fold that row and you have 1,274 litres. With all the rear seats down, capacity expands to an impressive 2,139 litres, giving this Kia much more flexibility when people and luggage are competing for space.

Everyday Tech Stays Connected

The supplied specification lists a 4.0-inch touchscreen paired with a six-speaker audio system. Connectivity includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, USB and Bluetooth, so your usual phone essentials can come along for the drive. Other everyday conveniences include keyless entry and start, remote engine start, heated power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control and heated exterior mirrors.

Safety Tech That Actually Helps

Family duty calls for more than a long feature sheet. The 2027 Kia Sorento PHEV includes nine airbags, along with a standard anti-collision system, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning and rear cross-traffic alert. Adaptive cruise control with Stop/Go, front radar and camera parking assistance, LED headlights and automatic high beams add another layer of assistance during busy commutes and longer highway drives.
