2027 Kia Sorento PHEV Now Only Available As One Top-Spec Trim

Kia has released pricing and model updates for the 2027 Sorento Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV), significantly simplifying the plug-in crossover's lineup for the new model year.

For 2027, Kia is dropping the lower-tier EX trim, leaving the top-spec X-Line SX-Prestige AWD as the single available configuration. The condensed trim line starts at $53,890, excluding a $1,495 destination fee.

Fully Loaded X-Line SX-Prestige Features

As the sole offering in the plug-in lineup, the 2027 Sorento PHEV X-Line SX-Prestige comes equipped with a comprehensive list of standard comfort, tech, and styling features.

For 2027, the interior gains a newly standard Head-Up Display (HUD) projected onto the windshield, X-Line embossing on the front seatbacks, and machined wood inlays across the instrument panel and door trim.

Outside, the X-Line package emphasizes a darker, more rugged design. Standard exterior highlights include:

• Dark Gun Metal treatment on the front and rear lower bumper trim, grille surround, and lower door garnish
• High-gloss black window surrounds, roof rails, side mirror caps, and 19-inch alloy wheels
• Black glossy and Gun Metal front fender badging
• Tailgate "PHEV" badging

Charging and Paint Palette Updates

The 2027 Sorento PHEV continues to come standard with all-wheel drive and includes a combined Level 1 / Level 2 charging cable to accommodate various home and public charging setups.

In addition to the revised trim structure, Kia has updated the exterior paint options across the lineup, replacing Steel Gray with Pale Gray for the 2027 model year.
