Kia Sorento
Sustainable energy
The hybrid engine has a 1.6-liter gasoline engine and an electric one, and together they produce a combined power of 230 hp. The operation of the system is discreet and in everyday use, in addition to the initial start-up, we often see the 100% electric mode light on. This is reflected in consumption, especially on the motorway, where averages between 6.5 l/100 km and 6 l/100 km can be obtained, or even less if we apply ourselves. On an urban circuit, the best we got was 7.5 l/100 km.
With seven seats and, in the plug-in version, enough battery to travel up to 70 km in the city, the new Sorento represents a huge leap in quality and in the brand's image.
The fourth generation of Kia's current top of the range mirrors the brand's evolution in terms of product quality, but also the ability to produce very efficient hybrid mechanics.
Interior
Inside, the large exterior dimensions allow the Sorento to establish itself as one of the most suitable SUVs for large families, on a par with more traditional proposals in terms of ease of access to the rear seats, such as the Renault Espace. inside, the large exterior dimensions allow the Sorento to establish itself as one of the most suitable SUVs for large families, on a par with more traditional proposals in terms of ease of access to the rear seats, such as the Renault Espace.
