In addition to diesel and hybrid drives, Kia also offers a plug-in hybrid for the new edition of the Sorento. Thanks to the innovation bonus, this variant can pay off.
The plug-in version of the Kia Sorento, which will start in the first quarter of 2021, costs from 53.940 euros. The innovation bonus of € 5.625 net / € 5.981 gross is deducted from this, so that the price of the PHEV is just above the level of the 148 kW / 202 hp diesel (from € 47.290).
