Powerful on all fronts
The front end of the Sorento shows off its commanding, muscular presence with a striking structured front grille, accentuated with a chrome and gloss black surround, a body-coloured sporty bumper with a wing-shaped air-intake grille, and stylish silver front skid plate. While the new light source technology dual LED projection headlamps, LED daytime running lights and LED fog lamps deliver dynamic illumination to match.
Experience sportiness
Take exhilaration to the next level. Prepare to be enthralled on the road — with a more sporty driving experience thanks to the power and control of the 1.6 Turbocharged Plug-In Hybrid engine and fast-shifting automatic transmission. Paddle shifters allow extra-quick, extra-smooth gear changes without even taking your hands off the steering wheel.
Luxurious space, style and comfort
The premium modern interior has been designed to elevate every moment of driving. From the unique feel of the ambient lighting, to upscale finishes such as the satin-effect dash garnish featuring 3D embossing and semi-chrome décor, and gloss black accents throughout. Paired with spaciousness and sleek ergonomics, you’ll see and feel its instant appeal.
The best of both worlds
Seriously well-equipped — with both a petrol engine and electric motor. The Sorento Hybrid employs a sophisticated parallel hybrid system, switching between petrol and electric power, or uses a combination of both. Meanwhile, the Regenerative Braking System converts kinetic energy to recharge the battery. This significantly reduces emissions on everyday journeys while still offering flexibility and versatility.
