Kia Sorento GT-Line PHEV AWD – Baby duties Week 3

What is the Kia Sorento like for a new mum

Sorento GT-Line PHEV – This is our final week with the Kia Sorento as a new-mum car, and there are a few things I’ve realised I hadn’t yet mentioned.

2025 Kia_Sorento_GT-Line039 Firstly, I really like the styling. Somehow, Kia has managed to make a large SUV look sleek rather than bulky. I’m also a fan of the interior design and overall ambience. Everything is well laid out and feels premium. One small gripe is that the air-conditioning controls sit within the large central touchscreen and can be a little awkward to use. That said, the 25-inch display itself is impressive.

There are some clever design touches too, like the front sunshades with a slide-out section that offers extra protection when pulled to the side. The wireless charging tray means no cables cluttering up the cabin, and wireless smartphone connectivity makes staying connected easy. Dual-zone climate control also allows me to keep bub at a comfortable temperature, which every mum will appreciate.

My music taste has definitely shifted from my usual playlists to a steady stream of nursery rhymes, but I still love the premium BOSE sound system — and so does bub.

Priced from around $86,000 plus on-road costs, the Sorento GT-Line PHEV is expensive — about $12,000 more than the regular hybrid, which I would choose.

Aside from the price, the Kia Sorento GT-Line PHEV AWD gets the mum-and-bub approval.

This has been a Motoring Minute.
