Try a powertrain that’s high-tech, agile and low in emissions. Pairing the 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol hybrid engine with an electric motor powered by a 1.49 kWh (64 kW discharge / 49 kW charge) lithium-polymer battery pack, the Kia Sorento Hybrid strikes an ideal balance between optimum fuel efficiency and low emissions.

Seriously well-equipped — with both a petrol engine and electric motor.

Providing the latest safety technology
The Kia Sorento is fitted with a suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems 6. They anticipate and react to changing road conditions, and help to detect potential hazards. As well as helping you stay focused and informed. So you can benefit from enhanced overall safety and greater enjoyment on the road.
- Highway Drive Assist (HDA)
- Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA)
- Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM)
- Forward Collision Avoidance Assist Junction Turning (FCA)
- Multi-Collision Brake Assist (MCB)
-
Designed to make driving in traffic jams safer and easier.
Working together with Smart Cruise Control and Lane Follow Assist, the HDA system controls acceleration, braking and steering depending on the vehicles in front. This makes driving in traffic jams easier and safer. The system uses camera and radar sensors to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead and monitors road markings to keep your car in the centre of your lane.
-
Easily adjust your speed according to the speed limit.
When you choose to use ISLA, the system uses a camera to read speed limit signs along the road, and displays them beside the speedometer and on the navigation screen. You can then decide to set your speed to the road speed limit or override it.
-
Shows vehicles concealed from driver’s view during lane changes.
Designed to improve visibility for blind spots, BVM uses side cameras so that when you indicate left or indicate right, your instrument cluster shows the view of the road in your blind spot. Indicate left and it will show you the rear view down your left-hand side; indicate right and it shows the right-side view.
-
Advanced detection of vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians ahead.
Evaluating both camera and radar data from your vehicle, the FCA system 7 analyses information about other cars, pedestrians or cyclists crossing the road, to avoid a potential collision. FCA also functions to prevent collisions with vehicles when making a left turn at an intersection. If it estimates a potential collision, a warning signal appears on your instrument cluster and maximum braking power is applied.
-
Automatic braking in case of collision.
If your airbag is fired in response to a primary collision, information is immediately sent to the electronic stability control system to brake your vehicle. MCBA applies your brakes to prevent a subsequent collision or mitigate its impact.
