In this age of economy meets opulence, the 2025 Kia Sorento GT Line Hybrid stands out in the midsize SUV space. This is one refined automobile that expertly melds high-tech hybrid technology with luxury amenities, to offer a ride that’s both ‘green’ and definitely high-end. In cities or on highways the Sorento GT Line Hybrid is an appealing prospect that warrants serious consideration.
Striking Design With Purpose
The bold exterior styling of the 2025 Sorento GT Line Hybrid certainly makes a statement. Among the latest changes are vertical headlights, replacing the previous horizontals and providing the vehicle a grabby modern flair. These new lamps comprise Kia’s unique “Star Map” lighting elements, providing a recognizable appearance whether day or night.
In the back, Kia has slimmed the taillights and linked them together with a thin light bar, continuing the modern yet sophisticatedly sleek look of the car. Outside, the GT Line trim adds the effort with special touches when sporty comes to mind, including special wheels and upscale finish touch that you won’t find on the other Sorentos.
Every line and crease here is form and function, evidence of Kia’s devotion to thoughtful styling that doesn’t have to come at the expense of performance. The low profile minimises wind resistance but the powerful presence a premium all-terrain vehicle deserves is assured.
A Hybrid Powertrain, Where Performance and Efficiency Meet
At the heart of the Sorento GT-Line Hybrid is the breakthrough powertrain, which offers effortless performance with a focus on fuel economy. With a 1.6L turbocharged engine and an electric motor, this hybrid provides impressive fuel efficiency for a class-leading vehicle.
The hybrid system delivers 227 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, sent through a six-speed automatic transmission. The combo is exceptionally responsive and linear power which makes for a serene daily driving experience. The hybrid system moves effortlessly back and forth between electric and gasoline propulsion, frequently making it nearly impossible to tell what powerplant is at work.
Multigear Active Braking enables users to select one of three regenerative braking levels (0 to 3) with paddle shifters on the steering wheel, promoting a more engaging driving experience while also providing the ability to recover as much energy as possible. It adds to efficiency and allows drivers to have a say in how the vehicle behaves.
The Sonic nags big brother Cruze in the fuel efficiency department — while Chevrolet never quotes the Sonic as any particular number, the results are spectacular, with 36 mpg in the city and highway from front-wheel drive models and 34 mpg both in the city and on the highway in all-wheel driven versions. And those are some pretty amazing numbers that deliver at the pump and have less of an environment impact than your average ’ute.
Comfort and Technology Merge to Create the Ideal Interior
Hop into the Sorento GT Line Hybrid and you are met by a cockpit that epitomizes contemporary luxury. The interior feels higher-end, giving a business-class feel by way of Nappa leather seat trim and a dash design that’s modern and handsome yet paired with a pair of 12.9-inch screens that meld together into a single panel.
Careful attention to design and detail is evident in the vehicle’s interior as well — the simple, elegant instrument panel, for example, with its glowing blue gauges; the adjustable center console that provides convenient storage space for both the front and second rows; the ability of the second-row captain’s chairs to slide forward with the push of a button, to facilitate access to the 50/50 split-folding third-row seat. This setup is very versatile for both carrying people and stuff!
Everything you touch feels luxurious, from the dash’s soft-touch materials to the leather-wrapped steering wheel. The deluxe headliner material adds a luxurious feel for the reclined passengers, improving the overall upscale feel. Attention to detail is observed in everything from seat stitching to metallic accents on major interior features.
State-of-the-Art Technology: Connected & Intuitive
An impressive suite of technology comes standard on the Sorento GT Line Hybrid to provide added convenience, safety and entertainment. The available 24-inch composite Panoramic Display (with Navigation) offers a new view on entertainment, convenience and vehicle status.
Audi Q7’s infotainment system offers Bluetooth® streaming audio for compatible devices, or playback of locally stored MP3, WMA or AAC files. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make it easy to pair your smartphone.
Keyless Entry and the ability to share your key virtually with family and friends through the Kia Access app provides additional convenience and flexibility to our ownership experience with our available Digital Key 2.0. The Voice Assistant allows the operation of different vehicle features by speech input.

Auto Emergency Braking with available Lane Change Oncoming Detection works with the sensors and camera to scan the road ahead for the possibility of collisions, applying the brakes when a vehicle or pedestrian is sensed.
