The Sorento Hybrid is Kia's first proper hybrid mid-size SUV in Australia, and the GT-Line is the top trim. Shared platform with the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid, but with the Kia styling and the more aggressive GT-Line treatment to the wheels and the exterior trim.
What you are buying
A 1.6 L turbo petrol hybrid making a combined 169 kW, paired with a six-speed automatic, driving the front wheels (FWD hybrid only at this point). Seven seats, the panoramic roof, the upgraded Bose audio, and the head-up display in the GT-Line trim.
Cartell Assessment
The Sorento Hybrid GT-Line is the seven-seat hybrid SUV for the buyer who wants the Kia cabin and warranty. It is properly efficient at around 6 L/100 km, the cabin is genuinely well-resolved, and the third row is usable for adults on short trips.
AU Outlook
Sorento Hybrid GT-Line pricing in 2022 sat at $73,330 plus on-road costs. Cross-shop is the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Highlander and the Toyota Kluger Grande Hybrid.
