Kia America has announced pricing for the 2027 Sorento plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), now offered exclusively in a fully loaded SX-Prestige trim. The new 2027 Sorento PHEV starts at an MSRP of $53,890, excluding a $1,495 destination fee. This streamlined approach replaces multiple trims with a single top-level option, delivering a premium SUV experience with advanced features and distinctive styling.

The 2027 Sorento PHEV SX-Prestige trim includes unique design elements such as X-Line embossed front seat backs and machined wood inlays on the instrument panel and doors. Exterior upgrades feature dark Gun Metal accents on the front and rear lower bumpers, grille surround, lower door garnish, and mirror caps, along with black high gloss window surrounds and roof rails. The SUV rides on black 19-inch wheels without a machine finish, complemented by black glossy and gun metal fender garnishes.

Inside, the SX-Prestige trim now comes standard with a Head-Up Display (HUD), enhancing driver convenience and safety by projecting key information onto the windshield. The Sorento PHEV also includes a combined Level 1 and Level 2 charging cable, offering more flexibility for owners to recharge the battery at home or public stations.

What it means for you

For buyers interested in a plug-in hybrid SUV, Kia’s 2027 Sorento PHEV delivers a simplified choice: one fully equipped trim that covers all the bases. The SX-Prestige trim’s premium touches and standard HUD mean you don’t have to upgrade to get top-tier features. The inclusion of the combined charging cable also makes charging more convenient, whether you use a standard outlet or faster Level 2 chargers.

The pricing at $53,890 (plus destination) positions the Sorento PHEV as a competitive option for those looking for a midsize SUV with electrified powertrain benefits. The exclusive focus on the SX-Prestige trim means Kia is targeting buyers who want a well-appointed vehicle with a sporty and refined appearance.
