About the 2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid

If you're looking for a practical, three-row crossover that doesn't punish you at the pump, the 2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid deserves a serious look. It strikes a great balance, offering seating for six passengers while maintaining a respectable 34 MPG combined rating—that's 34 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway, which is excellent for something this size. Power comes from a hybrid system delivering 227 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, plenty for merging onto the freeway using regular unleaded fuel. With a length just shy of 190 inches, it’s maneuverable enough for city parking lots, yet still provides generous space, like 41.4 inches of front legroom for the driver, making those longer family trips comfortable in the 2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid.
