Kia Sorento HEV GT Line Front Wheel Drive 2025 review

Is the Kia Sorento hybrid any good

Kia Sorento HEV GT Line – Hybrid engines make a lot of sense in larger SUVs. Last week I had the Kia Sorento Hybrid in GT-Line trim and front wheel drive.

  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear outer seats
  • Digital rear view mirror and
  • Bose surround audio system

Its especially comfortable inside and with the large expanse of screens, the driver has all the information they need at their fingertips

There is also a 10-inch Head up display above the thick rimmed steering wheel. Although this does polarise out with sunglasses on.

The real story is the 1.6 litre petrol hybrid engine. It has reasonable performance and excellent economy. I averaged around 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres for the week. Not bad for a large SUV.

For new families there are isofix and top tether pints for baby seats and the boot is large enough with the rear seats folded, for all the gear you need. Rear seats have plenty of leg and knee room for adults and baby seats. The rear seats are best left for shorter occupants.

Priced from $70,330 dollars plus the usual costs its also pretty good value.
