What would it take to get full SUV capability without living at the gas station? The 2027 Kia Sorento PHEV answers with a plug-in hybrid setup that still delivers standard AWD, six-passenger seating, and flexible cargo room, while offering enough electric-only range to handle most daily errands on plugged-in power. Canadian buyers can expect pricing to start at $48,895* for the LX AWD, with the EX AWD at $51,395* and the SX AWD reaching $60,995*.
The 2027 Kia Sorento PHEV pairs a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a 67-kW electric motor and 13.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. That setup delivers up to 55 km of electric driving range, which can cover a surprising amount of school runs, grocery trips, and local commuting before the gas engine needs to get involved. Combined efficiency is rated at 2.8 L/100 km, while the listed fuel range reaches 681 km, giving the Sorento PHEV a useful mix of electric commuting and longer-trip flexibility.
Plug-in efficiency does not mean the 2027 Kia Sorento PHEV feels underpowered. The combined system produces 261 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, working through a six-speed automatic transmission with AWD. That is a solid amount of output for a three-row family SUV and gives it enough muscle for highway merging, loaded-up family trips, and everyday driving without making the powertrain feel overly complicated. It can also tow up to 1,323 pounds, which adds a little extra usefulness for light recreational gear.
This is where the 2027 Kia Sorento PHEV Review gets especially relevant for families. The cabin uses a 2+2+2 seating layout, which means six seats with second-row captain’s chairs rather than a cramped middle bench. Front occupants get heated, power-adjustable seats, while dual-zone automatic climate control helps keep the cabin comfortable through changing Ontario weather. Kia also includes practical touches such as keyless entry, keyless start, remote engine start, and heated power-adjustable mirrors, so the comfort story goes beyond simply having an extra row.
With every seat occupied, the 2027 Kia Sorento PHEV still provides 357 litres of cargo space behind the third row. Fold that third row and capacity expands to 1,274 litres, which is far more useful for strollers, sports gear, suitcases, or a big grocery run. Drop all the rear seats and the space opens up to 2,139 litres. That flexibility is a big part of what makes the Sorento PHEV more than just an efficient commuter. It can switch from school-day duty to road-trip mode without much fuss.
Family SUVs live or die by how reassuring they feel, and the Sorento PHEV comes well equipped here. Standard equipment includes nine airbags, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, anti-collision technology, roll stability control, and a low tire pressure monitor. Adaptive cruise control with Stop and Go adds another useful layer for highway driving, while rear radar parking assistance helps with tighter spots. The listed safety data also gives the vehicle a 5.0 overall rating, along with a Good rating for side impact and moderate overlap front testing.
The listed infotainment setup includes a 4.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, USB, Bluetooth, AM/FM, satellite radio, and a six-speaker audio system. It is not trying to turn the dashboard into a wall of displays, but it does cover the connectivity most drivers use every day. The 2027 Kia Sorento PHEV also includes an analogue and TFT instrument panel, keeping essential vehicle information easy to read without overcomplicating the cabin.
