2025 Kia Sorento GT-Line PHEV review

The Sorento plug-in hybrid is only available in flagship spec and – for now, at least – that counts against it.

The Kia Sorento HEV offers great tech and bold looks, but its premium pricing and short supply somewhat limit its appeal.

The updated Sorento HEV scores big tech upgrades and a fresh look, but its premium pricing and short supply limit appeal somewhat.

Sure this entry-level Kia Sorento may look like a rental-spec vehicle on the outside, but inside it now finally feels fresh and up to date.

Kia's flagship diesel family hauler remains a smart SUV for buyers who like the finer things in life, but don't want to spend six figures.

The popular Sorento has been treated to a tech-heavy mid-life update. Is it still one of the top picks in the large SUV segment?

The V6-powered Kia Sorento offers silky smooth performance, and in GT-Line spec it's got enough luxury features to make a premium Euro sweat.

Kia Australia is onto a winner with the Sorento, which is arguably best sampled in GT-Line 2.2D AWD guise as tested here.

The Kia Sorento now comes with four engine options running the gamut. Here we take a look at the new, fuel-saving hybrid model.

The most affordable Sorento shows off the solid foundations that make high-spec grades so good. It covers all the basics and then some.

The Kia Sorento is a well-equipped SUV with space for the whole family, and the Sport+ shapes as the smart buy in the range.

The Sorento PHEV maintains the family-hauling capabilities of its ICE equivalents and can do most daily commutes emissions-free – but it ain't cheap.

Parking sensors are devices we use each and every day. But, how do parking sensors work? And which other systems are active each time you select reverse? We find out.

The Kia Sorento is a very good family SUV, with all the space, style, and technology you could ever need. And the Sport+ could be a smarter buy than the range topper.

The entry grade Kia Sorento diesel AWD variant lacks a few of the luxury features found higher up the range. But it offers a cushier ride, retains the practicality, and costs $50,000 drive-away. It's well worth a look.

A $65,000 Kia? Scoff all you want, but the new Sorento GT-Line flagship represents a convincing move upmarket in many respects. It's not perfect, though.
