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.

2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid XRT review
Hyundai has added new XRT off-road packages to its Santa Fe, but do they make it the real deal or does it remain strictly a soft-roader?
