Customers seeking more efficiency will likely opt for the hybrid model, which features a turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine, six-speed automatic transmission, 44 kW electric motor and 5 kWh lithium-ion battery. This powertrain will produce a maximum of 226 horsepower and will also be offered with all-wheel-drive only in Canada. Rounding out the list of available engines is the PHEV model, which won't arrive until later in 2021. These models will feature the same 1.6-litre turbocharged engine and six-speed automatic, along with a more powerful 66.9 kW electric motor and larger 8 kWh battery. All Sorento PHEV models will feature all-wheel-drive and will be able to travel up to 48 km on electric power only.
