Great review Matt, seems like a great commuter vehicle.

[@im_an_alvani]

The RAV4 Prime being in such short supply seems to have really upped the ante for the rest of the market. I personally really like Kia's muted "martian" paint colors. Great review as always!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for watching man!

[@c.a.r.s.carsandrelevantspecs]

That acceleration looks pretty decent for this PHEV. Not bad! 👍

[@davidtwitchell9373]

Well done Matt, very informative

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@davidtwitchell9373]

@@MattMaranMotoring gonna begin buying a 2025 prestige tomorrow -- looks more understated, sophisticated and elegant compared to the Hyundai counterpart. Thanks again

[@gregkramer5588]

Thanks Matt!

This is a tough segment. PHEVs make so much sense as a daily

[@Luke-PlanesTrainsDogsnCars]

Many think that when a PHEV runs out of charge you are left with nothing and dragging around a heavy battery ...That's not true of course, the battery will always reserve some charge and behave like a non plug-in hybrid car..to be most efficient though you _do_ need to plug in, I find every 2 days is good for my usage.

I drive semi trucks for a living and the freightliner's i drive even have adaptive cruise control. And if you swerve over the lines it will worn you but i get really anoide by it so i turn off the lane departure worning.

[@KO-sx9uy]

Test drove it and the Tucson, got the Outlander PHEV even after driving an EV6 AWD

[@fifasf3379]

The 2026 refresh is the one to wait for. Hopefully Kia’s terrible markups and the rates go down and I’ll get one

[@gregkramer5588]

Under MSRP near me.

This Compared with Lexus NX, Infiniti QX50 & Acura RDX

Don’t link the video, bring her back for this one, want to hear her rant about the piano black

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

Nissan doesn't have PHEVs so this round goes to Kia!

[@tomdoe1234]

But it doesn't drive very well. My wife and I tested one (not hybrid) , then a CRV and a CX-5. The CRV/CX-5 were much better. I did like the tech but at the end of the day to me the car is more about how it drives and I didn't like the Kia at all

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

Kia is the best at creating cold and artificial looking colors. None evoke any pleasant feelings for me.

[@kajukuja]

🙂👍

[@jayhome2715]

sorento phev gawdy blue leather interior only bahahhahaha.......it's like KIA intentionally does NOT want you to buy a hybrid!

[@SME5724]

Looks like something from China … idk not a fan of

[@HeWhoShallNotBeShamed]

That is so ugly. The front end gives me Pontiac Aztec vibes. Looks totally different, just pass.

[@MrChrissercamaro]

😂It's not the best looking front end! But it looks nothing like an Aztec. 😂

[@HeWhoShallNotBeShamed]

@MrChrissercamaro just the vibe. I'm not sure if anything is as ugly ad the Aztec.
