Why this car stands out
This vehicle is ideal for suburban families seeking a versatile three-row SUV that can handle daily errands on electric power while offering the flexibility of a hybrid for longer trips, all wrapped in a stylish and tech-forward package.
Strengths
Offers a substantial electric-only range for daily commuting, reducing fuel costs.
Combines sharp styling with a family-friendly interior and generous standard features.
Provides flexible cargo solutions with up to 75.5 cubic feet of space with rear seats folded.
Equipped with advanced technology and state-of-the-art driver assistance systems.
Tradeoffs
The third row is snug and best suited for children.
Real-world highway fuel economy can be disappointing once the battery is depleted, compared to the conventional hybrid.
Has a lower maximum towing capacity than the non-hybrid Sorento models.
Acceleration from 0-60 mph is slower than the regular hybrid due to the added battery weight.
What you might regret
Those who frequently undertake long highway journeys without regular charging access, or who require maximum towing capability, might find the conventional hybrid or gasoline Sorento more suitable.
