For the 2025 model year, the Sorento Hybrid looks sleeker and more distinctive thanks to a host of new standard lighting elements including Kia’s signature Star Map lighting in the front and rear and amber daytime running lights. Emphasizing the Sorento Hybrid’s updated appearance are new Cityscape Green, Mineral Blue, Interstellar Grey and Volcanic Sand exterior colors, plus a new Dust Blue interior color palette that provides an inviting ambiance. Unique to the electrified variant are 19-inch alloy wheels.
Inside, the Sorento Hybrid gets a standard panoramic instrument panel with a 4.3-inch TFT and 12.3-inch screen, while the SX-P trim upgrades to a curved panoramic panel with 12.3-inch dual screens.

With an EPA-estimated 36 MPG combined[vii] (FWD models), the Sorento Hybrid is in it for the long haul. For adventures outside of city limits, all-wheel drive[viii] is available on the Sorento Hybrid EX trim and standard on the SX-P.
