IIA learned that the new Kia Sorento PHEV will be introduced to the UK market. The new car adopts a new design language, retains the original grille style, and the overall body style has a sense of strength. In terms of power, the Sorento plug-in hybrid version will consist of a 1.6T gasoline engine and electric motor.

Exterior, the new car adopts a brand-new design language. The "tiger-style" air intake grille is connected with the narrow headlights on both sides to widen the visual effect of the front face. The tough waistline on the side of the car runs to the rear of the car, further enhancing the three-dimensional sense of the new car. It is worth mentioning that this SUV also adds a charging port on the rear right.

Interior, the central control area of the new car adopts a symmetrical design with a strong sense of hierarchy in the functional areas. It is also equipped with a 10.25-inch central control touch screen and a 12.3-inch LCD instrument. There are physical buttons and knobs on both sides of the center control screen and near the air outlet of the air conditioner below, which is very practical. In addition, because the battery pack of plug-in hybrid models is located below, the interior and luggage space of the new car will be reduced.

In terms of power, the new Sorento plug-in hybrid version consists of a 1.6T four-cylinder engine + electric motor. Among them, the 1.6T engine has a maximum power of 180 horsepower and a maximum torque of 265 Nm; the electric motor has a maximum power of 91 horsepower and a maximum torque of 304 Nm. At the same time, the 13.8kWh battery pack provided by the car allows it to have a battery life of 35 miles.
