- The new Kia Sorento Hybrid is available in EX FWD, EX AWD, and SX Prestige AWD guises.
- No changes have been made to the 1.6-liter four-cylinder and 59 hp (44.2 kW) electric motor.
- Kia is also working on a facelifted Sorento PHEV but hasn’t launched this model yet.
The 2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid costs as much as $4,400 more than the outgoing model in the U.S. but will continue to sit in the middle of the broader Sorento range.
Last year, the 2024 Sorento Hybrid EX FWD started at $36,690, excluding a $1,325 destination charge. However, for 2025, the starting price has increased to $38,690, and the destination fee has jumped to $1,375. Shoppers who opt for the Hybrid EX with all-wheel drive will need to cough up at least $40,490, a $1,500 increase over last year’s model.

Kia’s 2024 Sorento Hybrid range was topped out by the $42,490 SX-P. The flagship variant is now priced at $46,890 and is named the Sorento Hybrid SX Prestige. This version features several additional features not found on the Hybrid EX, including a suede headliner, ventilated front seats, and Kia’s Advanced Digital Key 2.0.
Additionally, the SX Prestige sports a curved panoramic display with dual 12.3-inch screens that support over-the-air updates and Kia’s Digital Features and Services. All versions include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.
Powering all 2025 Sorento Hybrid models is a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a 1.5 kWh battery and a 59 hp (44.2 kW) electric motor. The SUV produces 227 hp and 258 lb-ft (350 Nm) of torque and is exclusively equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission. This is the same powertrain as the pre-facelifted 2024 Sorento Hybrid.
