Thank you so much for this video! I’m shopping for a Sorento or Tucson.
Excellent information
Thanks
Is it possible to add spare tire to the hybrid and phev? I drive in the mountains and country side and definitely need a spare tire.
Thank you Pete a fantastic video as always. The plug in Sorento is it the same on the Santa Fe where you can use EV/ HEV button
Yes, they share the PHEV system between those two vehicles. I don't think there's any difference in the way that system works at all, the differences are outside of the powertrain and its operation.
Hi Peter. Just catching up on PHEVs and Sorento is one that we're looking at. Question about the EV usage, is it true that I cannot drive on pure EV mode and switch to gas when the battery runs out? Saw another review and they're saying that this is the case, car will switch between gas and electric depending on the required power needed? Thanks.
liked and subscribed, thank you.
Awesome! I appreciate that!
what are the charging speeds of the level 1 and level 2 - how long does it take assuming the battery is completely empty?
Amazing video. Thanks for pointing out the black border on the gas vs hybrid model. Also I went to my local dealer recently and told them i read there is a slight difference in the height on the second row but they said no its all the same. Great way to point that out, its very subtle, i would have not seen the difference myself. One thing i'm scared is to leave the 3 pin plug in the wall socket outside during rain or snow since i dont have a garage. Is that something relevant u think?
We have many customers who charge their vehicles outside it all types of weather. It shouldn't be an issue if you're careful to keep both ends clean of debris etc.
Superb job. Thanks. Exactly what we were wondering about.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Peter.....Great video! Do you think there will be any updates in 2023 for this Kia Sorento and do you think the 2nd row in 2023 would ever be a bench seat rather than captain's seats for us here in Canada?
When the battery runs out in a plug-in hybrid vehicle, does the gasoline engine consumption be the same as a pure gasoline engine? Can we charge the battery with a gasoline engine?
Hi Peter,
Thanks for sharing valuable information.
I'm unable to figure out the the maximum speed limit of Sorento PHEV over 100% EV mode (in 32 miles range).
Need your Ensight please.
Thanks,
Nauman
I just got the 2023 Sorento PHEV last weekend and was wondering why fuel gauge is decreasing even though I am using 100% EV? Another question, can I use EV mode if I ran out of fuel?
Thank you for the videos!! Question: Have you heard of any issues regarding the 2022 Kia Sorento Plug-in Hybrid SX Prestige gas gauge issue? I had bought one back in October, and have filled up the gas tank ~5 times now since I've bought the car, but the gas meter display in the car never seems to hit the FULL mark, even though the gas pump has clicked off/stopped pumping.
I haven't heard of that issue. I would book a service appointment to have them look into it for you.
It's probably a calibration issue... I would take it to Kia and have them calibrate... I am thinking it's a simple fix, and nothing actually broken. Worst case, they pop out the rear seat and replace the fuel sender, again, under warranty.
Do we need to maintain any speed while operating in electric?
When hitting the EV/HEV button what does Auto mode do exactly? I have found it to be beneficial when driving on longer trips as it keeps the charge for longer on the interstate. I can go 109 mi and only use half the battery.
This is something that I thought I understood, but now I'm not so sure. Let me do a little more research, and I'll make a video.
Why Phev dont hold charge? In winter time when we turn the heat on the gas engine kicks in . Toyota the electric motor stays on when the heat is turned on
Great video
Thanks for watching!
Good video.
Random question- I'm likely going to get myself a HEV Sorrento, but I want the regular gasoline model's front bumper cover (I just like the cleaner look of the regular gas model front bumper cover) would there be an issue buying and swapping it out? Thank you for your help in advance!
No. You can even change the name to Lexus. It's your car and it's no a safety issue.
What is the real fuel consumption on a long trip at 120kmh, without battery?
I have a 22 Tucson hybrid, got it a few weeks ago. We took it on a trip, about 5hrs highway driving and was getting 9.3l/100k which is quite far off from the advertised gas mileage. Do you know how long it takes for it to be broken in?
Mileage can vary, tweaking your driving style can help. Winter mileage is always going to be worse, and using your remote start can have an effect. I've been able to get pretty close to the mileage on the Tucson hybrid in my short trips with it. As far as break in period, I don't remember what the Tucson says, but often times you need to break the engine in (no full throttle, no revs over 4000 rpm) for the first 1000 kms. I believe the transmission still learns for about 1500 kms, and I know that on the Santa Cruz they don't recommend towing until 2000 kms. So give it some time, and see how things come around in the warmer weather as well. Beyond that, I may do a hybrid driving tips video to help squeak out a little extra mileage.
@@BrantfordKia Thanks for the info!
how soon can I place an order for the 2023 Telluride?
Great videos. Just wondering if the PHEV comes with Sirius XM radio. Many thanks!
Usually it would depend on the trim, the top trims definitely do. I don't remember about the EX off the top of my head.
Can u please say the milage in standard as well as metric
Do I get the combined power from both ice and the motor together at the same time in a PHEV version? As they have advertised it should fire together
Yes, the vehicle will regularly run on a combination of gas and electric power.
Would it be possible to do a short video of where to find the spare tire on the Sorento PHEV and how to access it?
Yes! 2022 model Sorentos have them under the rear end of the vehicle, and you can lower them by pulling a plastic tab up from the floor and turning a bolt that lowers it under the vehicle. It's actually pretty simple.
If a regular outlet is used is it 110 or 220? Any metrics on how much electricity your bill will go up a month charging daily?
You can use either 110 or 220 and that will be called a Level 1 or a level 2 charger. I can't say how much the bill will go up, but after two and a half years of driving an electric car, I can tell you that the savings in fuelling the car vs. the increase in the electric bill is SIGNIFICANT! It's one of those things that you just don't even think about because it saves so much. There are probably online calculators to help you with this, but I don't know off the top of my head.
Can I order different rims/wheels for the hybrid. I don't like the style of the hybrid rims. I like the gasoline engine rims better. Can I have gasoline power style rims put on a Hybrid at no additional cost?
10q for the detailed explanation.
Most new car they don't have spare tire instead they have tire repair kit. Why ? and how safe to drive during unexpected time.
So many new cars have a spare tire, but some have an inflator kit. If you have tire pressure monitors, there are MANY situations where you can detect a problem before you're stranded, and an inflator kit with some tire sealer can fix small leaks. I'm not a fan of the system, but it's not as bad as it sounds. The reason that spare tires aren't always included is because of fuel efficiency. Tires are heavy and they can lower fuel efficiency. The other reason that they likely don't say out loud is that a tire and jack is more expensive than an inflator kit. Having said all of that, they do offer 5 years of unlimited km roadside assistance, so for some people, that's enough. But yes, I would prefer spare tires in everything.
Do you guys apply provincial rebates from outside Ontario?
If you're talking about Quebec or BC, it's easier for you to buy within your province.
Hey Peter, does the hybrid version come with awd?
In Canada, they're ONLY AWD.
What color are these? This is the color I want in the hybrid you have
Interesting that the American PHEV at least in the SX-Prestige trim, doesn't have Mud and Sand terrain modes. It has a snow mode and if you tap the top button instead of it switching between terrain and regular driving mode, it toggles "AWD Lock" which sends power to all 4 wheels equally if I understand it correctly.
Yes, that's a decent basic description of what that button does. It will disengage all four wheels spinning equally as speed increases, or as the steering wheel is turned sharp. In Canada, we benefit from extra drive modes that the U.S. doesn't have right now.
@@BrantfordKia Actually, those drive modes are available on the other sorento models, just not the PHEV, which has the Lock button instead of terrain (although confusingly there is still a separate Snow Mode). I don't really get why they differentiated it in different markets, but it's still more than adequate. I love that it drives power to all 4 wheels off the line to eliminate slipping on initial acceleration. Much better than how most of the competitor AWD systems work (honda, toyota, etc)
Can PHEV version run in Hybrid mode or does it start in EV only and moves to Gas only when battery is empty?
Yes it can. There is a button where you can select between Automatic (car will decide what mode to use), EV (electric motor unless additional power is needed) or Hybird (Gas only)
What about the engine heating issues amongst many kia's since 2012 up to 2022?
The car was redesigned in 2019.
The cameras stopped working when I used my turn signal and my dealer said they did a hard reset of the computer and now it’s working again. Is this hard reset something I can do and if so how do I do it?
I'm not 100% sure how to do that. I have my assumptions, but I can't say for sure whether it's something that you can do or not. You'd have to ask the dealer exactly how they did, what they did.
@@BrantfordKia ok … thanks … will do
Hi Pete thanks for your videos. Quick question, I put deposit for my PHEV and still waiting. Dont know what the ETA is. Am I am to cancel my order? Also please advise your thoughts regarding ETA. Thanks again.
If you've got a deal with another dealer, you'll have to discuss things with them. If you have a deal with us at Brantford Kia, you can connect with our sales team. They'd be happy to talk to you about the ETA etc.
with the 2023 PHEV model, can I drive in pure EV model (without trigger the engine no matter what)?
Sorento PHEV - yes you can run in pure EV mode (heat uses the gas engine, so it would need to be off) for the first 50km's.
How can you get a Sorento SX Prestige from South Korea to North America? Would it be hard to change from km/l to mpg?? I want the bench seat in the back. Don't need the 3rd row and don't like the captain chairs. So, when you have 3rd row down with groceries in the back. With the captain chairs.. I'd something falls out of bag. And loose stuff can be under the captain chairs. Instead of, having it in the back area.
You can't import from another country.
@@rockyninja5089 Sure he can. And pay all the transportation and port fees and taxes, and U.S. specs, etc. making the car cost twice as much.
Which one drives further on a full tank ?
Based on my rough calculations the gasoline, but it cost more. Engine sizes and fuel tank sizes vary.
I have the 2022 kia sorento EX Xline, I'm happy with it, had the 2021 sorento sx before this one but it was only FWD, and I wanted AWD, I live in Southern California lot of the kia dealerships have FWD
Nice! Thanks for watching!
Were you able to get it around sticker price..? I tried getting a Telluride from Kia of Cerritos and they wanted $12K over sticker, so we bought a Palisade because the weren't asking over sticker... 2 weeks ago I went to the dealership again to look at the Sorento and they wanted $7K over sticker which made it more than what we paid for the fully loaded 2020 Palisade Limited...
@@tavo3234 I just want to put this here for our local customers. We don't charge over MSRP at our dealers.
@@tavo3234 sticker price from the dealer was 52,000, I paid 44,000. They paid off my 2021, best time to trade in
With the PHEV where does the L/100KM come from? Does it get better HEV mileage while the battery is full? Is there a way to run it in hybrid mode and also use the battery?
2023#phd
What is the cost of level 2 charger
A couple grand. But maybe your locality offers rebates?
bye gotta go badd weather in ga. love the suv though
when is the new sorento hybrid facelift coming?
2025!
I'm in the Montreal region and I just ordered a PHEV 2023, the only downside is the wait. I'd like to know about the the way the drive mode works in smart setting?
Can you send me an info entertainment out of the hybrid?? Mines stuffed... feight free to New Zealand please
We don't ship to New Zealand.
What color is that
The Sorento's shown here are Platinum Graphite for the PHEV & HEV and then Ebony Black for the gasoline model
Can you sell to a US buyer?
No we cannot, sorry
Can you show to sit at the third row? Thanks 🙏🏻
I'll definitely do that in a future video. (I have done it in the past in some as well) Full disclosure, I have a slight back injury right now, and I didn't want to take the risk of tweaking it yesterday so I avoided that demonstration just to give my back another day with no risk.
i want one 2023
I think it's worth the drive to Brantford to buy a car from your dealership :)
I really appreciate your support!
Helpful information.
I am no longer considering any of these.
Why did they put the lower spec 19 inch wheels on the 2 hybrids and can you spec the better looking 20 inch wheels for the HEV?
Smaller wheels are usually lighter and more fuel efficient. You could put larger wheels on, but that isn't going to be a factory option.
the interior and exterior color options are sooo much better on the gas version! Light gray or that gross blue?? No thanks!
I don't understand why the gas mileage on the non-turbo gas engines gas mileage goes down so much, especially with highway driving, with the Htrac AWD version. It gets significantly less mileage than the Turbo version which is a much more powerful engine. For someone that does not need high performance power just needs adequate power that the non-turbo version seems to provide. It does not inspire confidence in the non-turbo engine and it would be expensive to drive. It doesn't make sense don't know how KIA explains this, maybe they should look for another engine for their base models.
Wife told me she wants 5 kids currently own a seltos gonna have to upgrade after kid number 3 lol. Currently at 2.
Nah! You're fine. We wanted 3 or more until we got pregnant with our second... then we decided to stop! The Seltos will be fine for you!! Haha!
The New 2022 kia Sorento hybrid Exterior&Interior First Look.(1.6 Hev)
Check out this video. South Korea Kia Sorento SX Prestige hybrid with bench seats in the 2nd rowi.
Just curious … rumor … confirm? Is it true Kia is going to stop making the Sorento?
I haven't heard that rumour. As things move to full EV in the future, I think we'll see them use new naming for new models, but at this point, I expect the Sorento to be along for quite some time still.
Phev is pointless to me because you might as well go to ev given how close the $$ are these days w electric cars and phev. Granted this particular vehicle doesn’t have ev there are other cars on market that offer the direct comparison
It slow in charge ? 🎅🎅🎅🎅👍👍👍👍🍺🍺
I recharge slower!
You used the term Hybrid when referring to the PHEV!! @#!&^% Confusing!!
If you want to get technical, hybrid is the generic term.
@@krane15
Yes, as in:
Hybrid vehicle, a vehicle using more than one power source or an engine sourced from a different chassis
Hybrid electric vehicle, a vehicle using both internal combustion and electric power sources
Plug-in hybrid, whose battery can be recharged by a charging cable
Hybrid bicycle, a bicycle with features of road and mountain bikes
Hybrid train, a locomotive, railcar, or train that uses an onboard rechargeable energy storage system
Hybrid motorcycle, a motorcycle built using components from more than one original-manufacturer products, such as Norvin, TriBSA, or Triton
Hybrid rocket, a rocket motor using propellants from two different states of matter
Hybrid shipping container, a container using phase change material in combination with the ability to recharge itself
So what part of my question did you fail to understand?
kia kia g hi everyone
You like saying the name KIA?
Every video I’ve watched showed that the gas engine kicked in with even a low amount of weight on the gas peddle.
What you state seems to contradict that.
