What’s the Difference Between the Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid and the Kia Sorento Hybrid?

While both versions of the Sorento use hybrid power to reduce fuel use, they offer different benefits depending on how you drive:

• Kia Sorento Hybrid: Operates as a standard hybrid. It combines gas and electric power without needing to plug in. It’s great for drivers who want efficiency and simplicity without changing refueling habits.
• Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid: Can be plugged in to drive short distances using electric power only. Once the electric range is used up, it switches automatically to hybrid mode. It’s a strong choice for drivers who want to cut back on gas use for daily drives and still enjoy extended range for weekend travel or commutes across the state.
