While the gas-powered 2024 Kia Sorento has received a meaningful mid-cycle refresh, we think the extra fuel economy with the Sorento EX Hybrid makes it the best option. It brings far better fuel economy figures, is well-equipped, and offers more power than the base gas-powered engine. We also appreciate the Sorento Hybrid’s simple lineup.
