Kia is killing it. Between recent models of the EV6, the Stinger, the Carnival, and the Telluride, the company has come out with hit after hit. So much so, that it’s easy to forget about its older models — but you shouldn’t. For 2022, the Sorento has been updated to offer a plug-in hybrid model, …
Kia redesigned the Sorento last year, but it’s not a bad thing that it hasn’t received any major updates this year. The 2022 Kia Sorento looks sleek and stylish, plus offers a few modern touches that help it look current.
On the front of the Sorento, you’ll find Kia’s now-signature tiger-nose grille, which flows into the headlights and makes for a refined and smooth look. There’s another bottom grille too, which makes for a slightly busy, yet far from ugly front.While the Sorento is an SUV, it doesn’t looks as bulky or big as some of the competition. The side profile flows nicely, and you’d easily be forgiven for forgetting that it actually stores three rows of seats inside.
The outside styling does change a little depending on the trim that you get, but not drastically. Some trims add nice black accents, while others give you different bumper and wheel designs. We’re reviewing the Kia Sorento SX-Prestige Plug-in hybrid, which is one of only two models of Sorento plug-in hybrids — the other being the SX. Ours is in the Snow White Pearl color, and while I’m not normally one for white cars, I like the look of it in person.
Controls are the front are easy to use and get used to. You’ll find a rotary dial for changing gears, and another to change drive modes. And, there are simple buttons for things like the parking cameras, and steering wheel heater. Climate controls are a mix of real buttons and switches, and capacitive buttons. The capacitive buttons are pretty easy to reach, and while you won’t get feedback for pressing them, you’ll get used to the placement.
Of course the biggest reason to go for the plug-in hybrid over other models is the fuel-efficiency. Most of the time, you’ll use the car, which relies on the electric motor at lower speeds, and kicks in the engine as needed for faster acceleration. Kia claims the car can run for 32 miles on electric power alone, however you probably won’t use the electric motor alone much.
