2025 Kia Sorento review
- The Kia Sorento is one of the still few large SUVs in Australia available with a hybrid option and comes in top-spec GT-Line guise due to limited supply.
- The model year 2025 (MY25) Sorento Hybrid is around the same money as a mid-tier Toyota Kluger Hybrid.
- Key upgrades as part of the mid-life refresh include a fresh exterior design, updated interior and enhanced technology suite. The hybrid drivetrain, meanwhile, is unchanged.
- The Sorento GT-Line HEV AWD costs over $73,000 before on-road costs and is pegged around 20 units per month, unfortunately.
- The Sorento GT-Line HEV AWD is exclusively offered in flagship GT-Line trim, meaning it comes fully loaded.
- The Sorento Hybrid remains a solid option for families wanting to reduce their emissions, if you can get your hands on one.
- The Sorento HEV barely has any added weight compared to the equivalent petrol or diesel.
- It’s worth noting the related Hyundai Santa Fe with a similar hybrid system is far cheaper to service, at least over a five-year period.
- There are a few things going against it, however. High relative consumption on the highway and very short supply.
- The Sorento stacks up well still against the Toyota Kluger like-for-like and will no doubt be a very capable family chariot for those lucky few that can get one in their driveway.
