Is the 2023 Kia Sorento available as a plug-in hybrid in Canada and what does it cost?
Yes, the 2023 Kia Sorento is offered as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) in Canada. This version uses a 1.6T gasoline engine paired with an electric motor fed by a 13.8 kWh battery, delivering a combined system output of 261 hp and 47 km of all-electric range according to NRCan. The Sorento PHEV starts at approximately $56,495 in EX trim and rises to $62,995 in SX. AWD is standard on the PHEV. The federal $5,000 iZEV incentive applies, and Quebec adds up to $5,000 through Roulez Vert. After incentives in Quebec, the EX PHEV can drop to approximately $46,500 — competitive with hybrid versions of the Honda Pilot Hybrid or Toyota Highlander Hybrid at similar trim levels. For Canadian families where both parents commute under 40 km daily, the electric mode can cover more than 80% of weekday driving.
