Kia announced pricing and information for the 2025 Sorento Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid on Tuesday, both of which are getting the same refreshes we saw for the 2024 pure-combustion models. As you might expect, the prices are higher than last year—much higher in some cases. But there’s a surprise in the mix. The base price for the new Sorento plug-in hybrid is actually lower than before.
That’s because buyers now have a new entry-level trim option. The EX is now the starting point for plug-in hybrids, with a base price of $49,365, including a $1,375 delivery fee. That’s $2,300 less than last year’s base retail price, and you still get the same hybrid powertrain that produces 261 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. As a refresher, it’s a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a single electric motor and a 14-kilowatt-hour battery pack. The electric-only range of the 2025 Sorento is 30 miles.
The EX trim also comes with luxuries like heated power front seats, a 12.3-inch center display, 19-inch aluminum wheels, LED headlights, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and plenty of USB power ports throughout the three-row interior. Over-the-air updates are standard, as are a modest selection of driver-assistance features like lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot warning, and forward collision avoidance, among others. And it’s all wrapped up in the updated exterior Kia introduced last year.
Stepping up to the SX Prestige trim costs $54,465—$2,800 more than last year. That’s where you’ll find things like leather trim, heated and ventilated seats, a Bose stereo, dual 12.3-inch displays for the driver and center infotainment system, and more. It’s also the only way to get Kia’s full suite of driver assists like blind-spot collision avoidance, advanced forward collision avoidance, rear collision avoidance, and a surround-view camera.
Kia also announced pricing and details for the mild-hybrid Sorento. You’ll pay $40,065 for the entry-level EX with front-wheel drive; if you opt for all-wheel drive, the price jumps to $41,865. That’s a hefty $1,700 and $1,200 increase over last year. Meanwhile, the Sorento Hybrid SX Prestige is up $4,400 to $48,265. The 227-horsepower hybrid will be available starting in 2024; it’s a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with a single motor powered by a 1.5-kilowatt-hour battery.
