The streets of Singapore just got more exciting with the launch of the Kia Sorento Hybrid. Unveiled by Cycle & Carriage, this seven-seater SUV is set to redefine what it means to drive in style and sustainability. Combining advanced hybrid technology with cutting-edge design, the Sorento Hybrid looks set to make a statement on the road.
A Sustainable Powerhouse
At the core of the Kia Sorento Hybrid is its ability to cover an impressive 1,300 km on a single tank. Kia’s next-generation Smartstream II 1.6 Turbo Hybrid engine effortlessly blends petrol power with electric efficiency, giving drivers the best of both worlds. For the eco-conscious driver, this is a dream come true: low emissions without compromising on performance.
With 212 bhp and 366 Nm of torque, the Sorento Hybrid delivers a smooth yet powerful ride. Accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 9.3 seconds, this SUV handles both city streets and open roads with ease. And, with fuel consumption at a mere 5.1 litres per 100 km, long road trips are as economical as they are enjoyable.
Striking Design Meets Practicality
The new Sorento Hybrid’s design philosophy draws from Kia’s “Bold for Nature” concept, where rugged meets refined. The sculpted bonnet and sleek grille give it a commanding presence on the road, while the Star-Map Daytime Running Lights and stylish rear LED lights add a modern, high-tech flair.
Step inside, and you’ll find a spacious, luxurious interior that is as practical as it is beautiful. With seven seats and flexible configuration options, the Sorento Hybrid caters to every lifestyle, from family trips to weekend adventures. The boot offers an impressive 1,996 litres of space when the second and third rows are folded down, ensuring that you’ll never run out of room for luggage, gear, or shopping hauls.
Tech-Savvy Comfort
Kia has pulled out all the stops to make sure the Sorento Hybrid’s interior is as advanced as its powertrain. The dual-screen setup – a 12.3-inch digital driver display paired with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system – provides seamless control at your fingertips. Toggling between entertainment and climate control is a breeze, thanks to Kia’s Infotainment/Climate Switchable Controller, ensuring you’re always in command without distractions.
For those long drives, the first-row Relaxation Comfort Seat offers a “zero-gravity” position, making sure the driver and front passenger enjoy ultimate comfort – perfect for winding down after a busy day.
Safety Above All Else
Kia has left no stone unturned when it comes to safety. The Sorento Hybrid comes packed with over 20 advanced safety features, providing peace of mind for every journey. From Blind Spot Collision Avoidance to Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, the SUV actively works to prevent accidents before they happen.
Other highlights include Smart Cruise Control, which automatically adjusts your speed to maintain a safe distance from the car ahead, and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance, a lifesaver when reversing in tight spaces. The 360-degree Surround View Monitor gives you a bird’s-eye view, making parking and navigating narrow streets easier than ever.
Tailored to Your Lifestyle
Available in two trims, the Kia Sorento Hybrid SX and SX Tech Pack offer something for everyone. The SX trim provides all the essentials – from leather seats to ventilated front seats and 17-inch alloy wheels – while the SX Tech Pack takes luxury to the next level. Expect indulgences like a 12-speaker Bose sound system, panoramic sunroof, and ambient lighting that sets the perfect mood for any drive.
The Kia Sorento Hybrid is priced from S$244,999 (including COE) for the SX and S$254,999 for the SX Tech Pack. Book a test drive at the Cycle & Carriage Kia showroom on Alexandra Road.
