Hybrid

Electrifying Luxe.

The iconic Sorento is luxury that now comes in electric. The Sorento Hybrid leaves nothing left to be desired, with its world-class technology and benchmark design – now with both petrol and electric technology in one.

A limitless driving experience on lesser fuel consumption.

Looks that thrill.

Design
  • Modern, yet iconic

    The Sorento has evolved with a new interpretation of the unmistakable ‘tiger nose’ grille, displaying a wider shape which organically wraps around the integrated LED headlights on each side.

     

    The sharper, more assertive appearance is complemented by a wider lower air intake, book ended by wing-shaped air curtains to channel air around the car.

  • Crafted to illuminate

    Sleek and sharp LED headlights, powerfully designed to light the way, not only in the dark of night, but in broad daylight.

  • Alloy wheels

    A muscular broad shape isn’t all that the Sorento has to offer; it’s bold look shines from top to bottom. The 19” machine finished alloy wheels sets the Sorento’s whole style off.

  • Contemporary and dynamic

    The vertical LED tail lights wrap around the side of the body for a more striking presence on the road.

Commanding luxury.

Interior
