Kia Sorento Plug-In Petrol Hybrid Cars
Kia has introduced its latest addition to the Sorento lineup with a Plug-In Petrol Hybrid. This vehicle offers versatility and fuel efficiency, making it perfect for driving in New Zealand's varied road conditions. The vehicle’s hybrid system combines a petrol engine with an electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery, producing impressive results.
The Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid boasts a 1.6-liter T-GDi petrol engine combined with a 13.8 kWh battery pack to deliver maximum power output of up to 195 kW (261 hp) and 350 Nm of torque. The electric motor can also deliver up to 64 km of pure electric range and achieve CO2 emissions as low as 38 g/km in urban conditions. When combining both power sources, this vehicle provides superior acceleration compared to non-hybrid counterparts. This car takes just seven seconds to accelerate from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour.
In terms of interior, this hybrid car is spacious enough for seven people and their luggage comfortably. This SUV’s cargo capacity expands further with split-folding second- and third-row seats available as standard equipment on every model variant, providing more storage flexibility for bigger loads such as sports equipment or camping gear.
When it comes to driving conditions, New Zealand is known for its variable terrain including winding mountain roads and long stretches of flat highway; therefore, safety features have been incorporated into the vehicle. The new Kia Sorento Plug-In Petrol Hybrid offers advanced safety technologies like Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist that helps prevent collisions through automatic braking assistance at high speeds while providing warning signals at lower speeds when danger approaches too quickly.
The new hybrid model of Kia Sorento is great news for anyone looking for an SUV that doesn’t sacrifice fuel economy for practicality, space, and comfort. It’s the perfect choice for families who love exploring New Zealand's landscapes in a sustainable manner while saving costs at the pump due to fewer refueling requirements brought about by the vehicle's efficient nature.
