The upcoming 2022 Kia Sorento PHEV has received a slightly better EPA range and energy consumption rating than a similar 7-seat PHEV model from its sister brand - Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV.
The EPA Combined all-electric range value is 32 miles (52 km), which is also 2 miles more than initially anticipated.
For reference, the Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV noted 30 miles (48 km) of EPA EV range. Let's recall that the battery capacity in both models is 13.8 kWh.
The prices are not yet announced, but the battery capacity qualifies for $6,587 of the federal tax credit.
