Dimensions, engines, etc., the new Kia Niro says more

New Sorento in 2020, new Sportage in September last year, then new Niro two months later, Kia has almost completely overhauled its SUV range in a very short period of time.

A Week With: 2021 Kia Sorento Hybrid EX

The 2021 Sorento Hybrid EX shares its handsome, chiseled styling with its conventionally-powered siblings. (Kia photo)

[data-block_611e826dc8596] { }

Having just announced the addition of a plug-in electric hybrid version of the 2022 Kia Sorento, you might wonder why Kia bothered with a traditional hybrid variant. Maybe it’s plug-in envy. After all, 40% of Americans do not live in a single-family home, making access to a plug-in recharging difficult or impossible.

By offering both variants, the Sorento offers something for everyone. That said, the Sorento PHEV does outdistance its traditional sibling, with an additional 34 horsepower and 30 miles pure electric driving range, enough to give it an EPA rating of 79 MPGe.

Of course, pricing hasn’t been announced, so how much additional it will cost remains to be seen. And given the limited number of vehicles available due to chip shortages, the availability of the 2021 Kia Sorento Hybrid might be worth considering instead, despite Hyundai’s intentions of introducing a slew of new electric vehicles.

Overview

We’ve already sung praises of the Sorento, introduced hot on the heels of the fast-selling Kia Telluride. It’s become the go-to choice for those who financially can’t swing the larger, pricier vehicle. Despite its smaller size, the Sorento is far from a consolation prize. And the availability of a hybrid makes it a far more fetching proposition for those needing a family hauler. Unlike its traditionally powered siblings, which are offered in five trim levels with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive, the 2021 Sorento Hybrid is offered in S or EX trim with front-wheel drive only and a 6-speed automatic transmission rather than the 8-speed automatic or dual clutch transmissions offered in the rest of the line. 

Our test vehicle, an EX, cost $3,000 more than the S, adding such frills as LED fog lights, gloss black exterior trim, panoramic sunroof with power shade, height adjustable power tailgate, wireless phone charger, smart cruise control with stop and go, and forward collision avoidance assist.

Exterior

Fashioned at Kia’s Irvine, California design studio and built in West Point, Georgia, the Sorento shares some styling cues with the Telluride, but this is clearly a different vehicle. Its appearance is contemporary and more sporting. However, its large chunky taillights recall those of the Ford Mustang Mach-E, although its side window shape and D-Pillar design are distinctly Kia, as is the gloss black grille. Its chiseled look is more appropriate for the class, and more distinctive than the 2020 model.

Interior

While not as opulently trimmed as top-level Sorentos, the EX test vehicle feels well-trimmed for the price. Interior space is identical to that of the gas-powered Sorento, as is cargo space, at 12.6 cubic feet. Given that meager number, it’s best to leave the third-row seats folded, as space is in short supply.

Also, keep in mind that the hybrid comes standard with second-row captain’s chairs; a bench seat is not available. The standard leatherette seats offer an admirable balance of comfort and support. There’s also plenty of head and legroom in the first two rows. The EX includes such conveniences as steering wheel controls for Bluetooth, audio and cruise control, and dual automatic climate control.

Powertrain

There’s one powertrain: a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with a 44-kilowatt electric motor and a 1.5-kilowatt-hour battery funnels 227 horsepower through a 6-speed automatic transmission to the front wheels. All-wheel drive is not available on the hybrid. That neatly splits the difference between the Sorento’s base powerplant, a 191-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder, and the 281-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter, and the upcoming Sorento PHEV’s 261 horsepower.

Safety and Technology

As we’ve come to expect from Kia, the list of standard driver-assistance safety technology is impressive, and includes rear cross-traffic collision alert, parking distance warning, forward collision alert, driver attention warning, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, lane following assist, high beam assist, and safe exit assist. EX models get enhanced forward collision alert and parking distance systems.

As for technology, the Sorento Hybrid EX comes with an AM/FM audio system with Satellite Radio, UVO telematics, wireless charging pad, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It also has the smaller 8-inch touchscreen, not the 10.25-inch touchscreen offered on some Sorentos. While adequate in size thanks to the Sorentos easy-to-operate user interface, it proved quick to the touch.

Driving Impressions

The hybrid doesn’t seem to suffer from the turbo lag of its conventional siblings thanks to the electric assist. In fact, the electric assist comes on more frequently than you’d expect, lending the driveline a smooth quiet demeanor. There’s plenty of grunt, more power than this model’s front-wheel drive can handle without spinning its wheels at times.

The driveline shines once at speed, and manually shifting using the car’s paddle shifters noticeably quickens the hybrid’s pace. And while you’ll notice the gas engine’s moan, you won’t notice the transition from electric to gas, as it happens seamlessly.

The EPA rates the Sorento’s combined fuel economy at 37 mpg. Our test drive easily surpassed that, returning 40 mpg in a mixed driving loop. 

One caveat, however. If you regularly tow, keep in mind the Sorento can only haul 2,000 pounds, 1,500 pounds less than its conventionally-powered siblings.

Wrap Up

Very much the middle child of the Sorento line-up, it proves to be an excellent compromise between power and fuel economy. And once you compared the hybrid’s two trim levels to its gas-powered sibling, the extra green will easily be made up within a few years by the amount of fuel you’ll save. This one’s a no-brainer. If you’re buying a Sorento, buy the hybrid.

2020 Kia Telluride First Drive: New City Name and High Hopes

During my early days at MotorTrend, there was a running joke in the office that our long-term Kia Borrego was abandoned. Long-term test vehicles typically stay for a year, but our burnt orange Borrego was a fixture in #MTGarage for almost twice as long before it finally went back to Kia. Coincidentally, just as we were saying bye to the Borrego, so was the rest of the U.S.—Kia discontinued the SUV after just one model year on the market after it fell short of sales targets.

It wasn’t because it was a bad SUV. In fact, the notes in our logbook were generally positive. But ultimately we thought its worst feature was timing. With high gas prices a not-too-distant memory and a recession on buyers’ minds, there had been better times to launch a full-size, body-on-frame SUV.

It was an admirable risk for Kia but apparently not one worth taking again. Almost a decade after the Borrego’s demise, the new 2020 Kia Telluride debuts on a more practical front-drive-based unibody platform aimed directly at big sellers like the Honda Pilot, Nissan Pathfinder, and Toyota Highlander.

The Telluride makes a strong first impression based on styling alone, especially compared to the aforementioned competitors. Sure, it has a simple and boxy silhouette, but Americans can’t seem to get enough of boxes on wheels (see Mercedes G-Class). Exterior brightwork is also restrained, with a few interesting touches like the upward kink at the bottom of the B-pillar. The taillights—which Kia describes as an “inverted L”—are the most polarizing design element, but they fit well on the Telluride and look sharp lit up at night.

The 2020 Telluride’s size also contributes to its eye-catching looks. It stretches 196.9 inches long and stands 78.3 inches wide, making the Telluride almost 8 inches longer and 4 inches wider than the Sorento while sharing similar dimensions as the Volkswagen Atlas, Pathfinder, and Pilot. It’s big inside, too—Kia claims total interior volume is a cavernous 178.1 cubic feet, and that the 21 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row of seats is the best in its segment.

Kia’s largest crossover is estimated to weigh between 4,100 and 4,500 pounds, and the sole powertrain available to lug around that weight is a 3.8-liter V-6 rated at 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. That’s mated to an eight-speed auto that sends power to the front wheels. All-wheel drive is optional. Four drive modes adjust powertrain and steering behavior (Smart, Eco, Comfort, and Sport); AWD models get additional Snow and AWD Lock modes, the latter of which evenly distributes power to all four wheels. Smart and Eco drive the front wheels; Comfort and Snow mode send up to 20 percent of power to the rear wheels. That number jumps to 35 percent in Sport mode. A rear air suspension setup is available to keep the Telluride’s ride height at optimal levels.

For our first stint at the wheel, Kia handed us keys to a Telluride AWD with its navigation set to take us through the winding roads and majestic canyons starting in Gateway, Colorado, and ending at the crossover’s namesake town of Telluride. Would we have liked more power, especially at highway passing speeds? Absolutely. But the powertrain is adequate for small ski towns with low speed limits and feels on par for the segment. We’ll be eager to see how the Telluride performs with a cabin full of passengers and gear, and against its competitors like the upcoming Ford Explorer with its tempting array of turbo engines, including a base turbo-four pumping out 300 hp and 310 lb-ft.

Suspension tuning hasn’t always been one of Kia’s strengths, which is why we were a tad surprised by how well the Telluride handles. The crossover is satisfyingly planted through fast sweepers at speeds that most owners likely won’t explore, and the ride feels taut yet smooth while cruising. It’s quiet, too. Colorado’s roads are relatively well maintained, so we’ll see how the Telluride handles the more challenging road surfaces back home in Los Angeles. But overall the Telluride feels solid and well put together—we noted little to no squeaks or rattles during a light off-road excursion.

That feeling of solidity carries on inside. Material quality and ergonomics are good, and so is overall visibility. Sitting high on the dashboard is a responsive and intuitive touchscreen infotainment system. Value has always been a strong point for Kia, and it’s no different with the Telluride. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on all trim levels, as are push-button start, five USB ports, and satellite radio. Higher trim levels get a large 10.3-inch infotainment screen (8.0-inch is standard), wireless phone charging, Bluetooth connectivity for two phones, and a total of six USB ports (two for each row). We drove a fully loaded SX model with the Prestige package that adds more goodies including a head-up display, Nappa leather, and a suede-like headliner.

The as-tested price for our top-of-the line Telluride AWD (including the $2,000 Prestige Package) was $46,860, which is about $2,200 less than a loaded Pilot Elite AWD. The base model Telluride LX starts at $32,735 and is competitive with Highlander ($32,425) and Pilot ($32,495), while the midlevel S and EX models start at $35,035 and $38,135, respectively. Kia predicts Telluride S and EX will make up 66 percent of total sales.

Other notable features include Driver Talk and Quiet Mode, which are standard on EX and SX. The former features a microphone that allows the driver to communicate with second- and third-row passengers. Quiet Mode cuts audio for both rear rows, allowing kids to sleep or play Nintendo Switch without enduring their parents’ boring podcasts or talk radio shows. An eight-passenger setup with a middle-row bench is standard, while a pair of second-row captain chairs (heated and ventilated on the SX with the Prestige package) is optional. Access to the third row is easy: Simply press a button on the upper edge of the second-row seat. Back-row seating should be comfortable for two average-sized adults or three kids, but taller folks will likely have to get creative to avoid hitting the headliner.

Kia is confident the Telluride will earn top safety marks from the NHTSA and IIHS, and buyers should feel good about the long list of drive assist systems including Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Collision Avoidance, and Lane Follow Assist (which essentially combines LKA and adaptive cruise). Telluride EX and SX get Highway Drive Assist, which Kia considers Level 2 semi-autonomous capability due to its ability to handle most highway steering and adjust to speed limits.

When it comes to efficiency, the EPA rates the FWD Telluride at 20/26 mpg city/highway, 19/24 for AWD. Those numbers are on par with Pilot and Highlander and slightly better than Atlas and the Chevrolet Traverse.

And with that, Toyota, Honda, and Ford have another serious contender in the crowded field of large three-row crossovers. With handsome looks and a well-rounded package, the new Telluride should have no worries about being abandoned.
