										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>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.</strong></p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4100" src="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Kia-Sorento-HEV-GT-Line-front-wheel-drive-front-quarter.jpg" alt="Kia Sorento HEV GT-Line front wheel drive front quarter" width="1500" height="1000" srcset="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Kia-Sorento-HEV-GT-Line-front-wheel-drive-front-quarter.jpg 1500w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Kia-Sorento-HEV-GT-Line-front-wheel-drive-front-quarter-300x200.jpg 300w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Kia-Sorento-HEV-GT-Line-front-wheel-drive-front-quarter-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Kia-Sorento-HEV-GT-Line-front-wheel-drive-front-quarter-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" /> This vehicle is specifically designed for family transport  around the city. Being the GT-Line it is fully equipped with everything Kia can fit in there including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Heated and ventilated front seats</li>
<li>Heated rear outer seats</li>
<li>Digital rear view mirror and</li>
<li>Bose surround audio system</li>
</ul>
<p>Its especially comfortable inside and with the large expanse of screens, the driver has all the information they need at their fingertips</p>
<p>There is also a 10-inch Head up display above the thick rimmed steering wheel. Although this does polarise out with sunglasses on.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4098" src="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2024-Kia-Sorento-GT-Line-engine.jpg" alt="2024 Kia Sorento GT Line engine" width="1500" height="1000" srcset="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2024-Kia-Sorento-GT-Line-engine.jpg 1500w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2024-Kia-Sorento-GT-Line-engine-300x200.jpg 300w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2024-Kia-Sorento-GT-Line-engine-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2024-Kia-Sorento-GT-Line-engine-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" /></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Priced from $70,330 dollars plus the usual costs its also pretty good value.</p>
<p>This is a Motoring Minute</p>

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3530" src="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Kia_Sorento-Hybrid-_GT-Line039.jpg" alt="Kia_Sorento Hybrid _GT-Line039" width="1500" height="1000" srcset="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Kia_Sorento-Hybrid-_GT-Line039.jpg 1500w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Kia_Sorento-Hybrid-_GT-Line039-300x200.jpg 300w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Kia_Sorento-Hybrid-_GT-Line039-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Kia_Sorento-Hybrid-_GT-Line039-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" /></p>
<p>I had the <span style="color: #003300;"><a style="color: #003300;" href="https://motoringminute.com.au/kia-sorento-gt-line-2024-drive-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sorento GT-Line</a></span> all wheel drive hybrid electric vehicle.</p>
<p>This is the top spec model that comes equipped with everything you could possibly want in terms of comfort, safety and luxury features. It also looks quite smart with the design refresh last year.</p>
<p>Priced from around $73,300 plus the usual costs the Sorento Hybrid GT-Line is actually great value.</p>
<p>I really like the huge screen that seems to flow from in front of the driver through to the central stack area. Its clear and easy to read.  Especially the reverse camera.</p>
<p>Other features I Like are the exceptionally comfortable front seats. Heated, ventilated and supportive.</p>
<p>Middle row seats are great for taller people, but the third row is really for early teens. There are five top tether and 4 isofix Child Restraint Anchorage Points. The flexibility of rear folding seats is another plus point.</p>
<p>The 1,6 litre hybrid petrol engine has enough performance for most drivers and is particularly economical. I averaged around 6.5 litres per hundred kilometres for the time I was driving. With a new dial transmission, it takes a little getting used to but works well when you do.</p>
<p>Its easy to see why the Sorento is so popular with families. It is so easy to live with.</p>
<p>This is a Motoring Minute</p>
