What to Weigh Before Buying
Consider how often the 30-mile electric range fits daily driving patterns and whether home or workplace charging supports regular plug-in use. A 3.4-hour charge time, 33 city MPG, and 34 highway MPG give the powertrain distinct efficiency considerations.
Passenger and cargo needs also matter. The Sorento seats 6 and offers 12.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats, while its maximum towing capacity is 2,000 lbs. Trim pricing, all-wheel-drive capability, and the difference between electric and gasoline driving should all factor into a careful comparison.
