Aunque el h\u00edbrido ofrece un amplio espacio, nuestro informe de conducci\u00f3n muestra que este espacio tambi\u00e9n tiene inconvenientes.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>En realidad, no ten\u00edamos previsto probar un h\u00edbrido enchufable con tecnolog\u00eda mayoritariamente conocida, ya que el Kia Sorento PHEV se parece a los h\u00edbridos enchufables Niro y Sportage de Kia. En su lugar, esper\u00e1bamos el Kia Niro EV. Desgraciadamente, el coche que deb\u00edamos probar sufri\u00f3 un accidente poco antes de nuestra salida programada. Por lo tanto, Kia envi\u00f3 el gran Sorento como h\u00edbrido enchufable con poca antelaci\u00f3n. Volveremos en unas semanas para probar el Niro EV en el uso diario.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***<\/p>\n<p>Al igual que el Sportage enchufable, el Sorento PHEV se basa en la plataforma N3 de Kia. La propulsi\u00f3n es, por tanto, la misma, pero la carrocer\u00eda es significativamente mayor. Con 4,81 metros, el Sorento es 31 cent\u00edmetros m\u00e1s alto que el Sportage, 3,5 cent\u00edmetros m\u00e1s ancho y cinco cent\u00edmetros m\u00e1s alto.<\/p>\n<p>Sobre el papel, las supuestamente peque\u00f1as diferencias en anchura y altura no indican adecuadamente cu\u00e1nto m\u00e1s grande es en realidad el Sorento. Mientras que el Sportage tiene algunas curvas que a\u00f1aden unos cent\u00edmetros extra aqu\u00ed y all\u00e1, el Sorento es relativamente anguloso y evoca a los coches de estilo americano. La parte delantera alta se levanta con fuerza al viento y el techo se extiende sin ninguna inclinaci\u00f3n significativa hasta justo antes de la parte trasera, para terminar en una secci\u00f3n trasera empinada. Aunque esto maximiza el espacio en el interior de siete plazas, es a costa de la aerodin\u00e1mica tanto en la parte delantera como en la trasera.<\/p>\n<p>En realidad, el Sorento podr\u00eda considerarse un todoterreno m\u00e1s que un SUV, con 18 cent\u00edmetros de altura libre al suelo, tracci\u00f3n a las cuatro ruedas y elaborados modos de conducci\u00f3n todoterreno. Si no tiene que mover un remolque de caballos por prados embarrados de forma habitual, probablemente utilizar\u00e1 la conducci\u00f3n todoterreno del Sorento con la misma frecuencia que la del Sportage, casi nunca. Y si por casualidad quiere mover un remolque de caballos a trav\u00e9s de prados embarrados, debe asegurarse de que es uno peque\u00f1o - la capacidad de remolque est\u00e1 limitada a 1,5 toneladas, mientras que el Sorento con diesel puede remolcar 2,5 toneladas.<\/p>\n<h3>Espacio, espacio y m\u00e1s espacio<\/h3>\n<p>Las razones para elegir el Sorento son probablemente espacio, espacio y m\u00e1s espacio. El primer espacio adicional se encuentra en la parte delantera: el conductor y el pasajero delantero se sientan de forma muy similar al Sportage en t\u00e9rminos de ergonom\u00eda (sentida, no medida). La carrocer\u00eda significativamente m\u00e1s alta hace que, incluso con 1,85 metros, la zona de la cabeza sea decididamente aireada. Si estuvi\u00e9ramos hablando de un coche deportivo, podr\u00eda mencionar en este punto que hay mucho espacio para la cabeza, incluso con un casco de carreras. En el Sorento, probablemente ser\u00eda m\u00e1s bien el sombrero de vaquero para seguir con el ejemplo del remolque de caballos.<\/p>\n  <div class=\"module-gallery is-legacy\">\n    <div class=\"items\">\n            <div class=\"item\">\n        <figure class=\"image\">\n          <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/media\/2023\/02\/kia-sorento-phev-2023-01-min-1400x700.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Kia sorento phev min\" loading=\"eager\" title=\"\">                  <\/figure>\n      <\/div>\n            <div class=\"item\">\n        <figure class=\"image\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/media\/2023\/02\/kia-sorento-phev-2023-03-min-1400x700.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Kia sorento phev min\" loading=\"eager\" title=\"\">                  <\/figure>\n      <\/div>\n            <div class=\"item\">\n        <figure class=\"image\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/media\/2023\/02\/kia-sorento-phev-2023-05-min-1400x700.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Kia sorento phev min\" loading=\"eager\" title=\"\">                  <\/figure>\n      <\/div>\n            <div class=\"item\">\n        <figure class=\"image\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/media\/2023\/02\/kia-sorento-phev-2023-02-min-1400x700.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Kia sorento phev min\" loading=\"eager\" title=\"\">                  <\/figure>\n      <\/div>\n            <div class=\"item\">\n        <figure class=\"image\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/media\/2023\/02\/kia-sorento-phev-2023-04-min-1400x700.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Kia sorento phev min\" loading=\"eager\" title=\"\">                  <\/figure>\n      <\/div>\n            <div class=\"item\">\n        <figure class=\"image\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/media\/2023\/02\/kia-sorento-phev-2023-01-typ-2-type-2-min-1400x700.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Kia sorento phev tipo tipo min\" loading=\"eager\" title=\"\">                  <\/figure>\n      <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  \n<p>Otro lugar con amplio espacio es el asiento trasero, muy parecido al delantero en cuanto a altura, pero tambi\u00e9n con mucho espacio para las piernas en comparaci\u00f3n con el Sportage. No todos los 31 cent\u00edmetros extra han ido a parar al asiento trasero, pero s\u00ed algunos. Realmente es una diferencia de clase. Incluso cuando el asiento trasero deslizante se desplaza a la posici\u00f3n m\u00e1s adelantada, todav\u00eda hay espacio suficiente (dependiendo de c\u00f3mo se ajusten los asientos delanteros) para que los adultos viajen c\u00f3modamente en el Sorento en distancias largas.<\/p>\n<p>Y por \u00faltimo, pero no por ello menos importante, est\u00e1 el maletero. Aqu\u00ed tambi\u00e9n se nota la diferencia de clase. Con cinco plazas en uso, el volumen del maletero es de unos 700 litros. Se trata de unos litros m\u00e1s o menos, dependiendo de si el Sorento se ha pedido con siete plazas y el peque\u00f1o compartimento bajo el maletero ha sido v\u00edctima de los respaldos abatidos de los asientos traseros.<\/p>\n<p>Nuestro coche de pruebas era de siete plazas, por lo que el compartimento de carga podr\u00eda incluso reducirse a 187 litros si se utilizan realmente los asientos seis y siete. Si se abaten los respaldos de los asientos de ambas filas, caben algo m\u00e1s de 2.000 litros en el Sorento. La zona de carga se eleva ligeramente y no es completamente plana, pero debido a la enorme altura interior, este espacio sigue siendo utilizable para la mayor\u00eda de las aplicaciones.<\/p>\n<p>Para abreviar: la amplitud es el gran argumento a favor del Sorento. Es probable que la mayor\u00eda de los compradores elijan la carrocer\u00eda del Sorento por sus requisitos de habitabilidad y luego elijan el tren motriz a juego. Es probablemente menos probable que un conductor elija un Sorento PHEV si busca principalmente un propulsor enchufable de Hyundai-Kia.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hasta el lanzamiento al mercado del EV9 totalmente el\u00e9ctrico, el SUV insignia de Kia sigue siendo el Sorento, y el h\u00edbrido enchufable es el motor estrella de este modelo.

A Tesla Model Y Long Range weighs the same, is only six centimetres shorter, but glides through the wind with significantly less resistance.<\/p>\n<p>This has several effects when driving. The most obvious, of course, are consumption and range. At 28 kWh\/100km, the power consumption was only about two-kilowatt hours higher than our test value for the smaller Sportage (German exclusive), which is almost okay considering the dimensions. But we did not come close to the 16.1 kWh\/100km rated as WLTP value. If, on the other hand, we take the similarly sized Model Y just mentioned as a comparison, the Sorento, as a plug-in hybrid, allows itself significantly more power than the incomparably more powerful battery electric car.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of range, this means that a fully charged battery in the Sorento with its 13.8 kWh would be empty after 49 kilometres. However, the Kia always retains a certain buffer in the battery so that it no longer drives purely electrically when the charge level is less than around 15 per cent \u2013 or only for very short sections when manoeuvring slowly. A large part of owning the Sorento&#8217;s plug-in hybrid means having reliable access to a charging station because it is likely to need charging for every day it is used.<\/p>\n<p>The issue of range is not just about the battery. The petrol tank can hold just 47 litres. In our test, the overall range enabled by the combination of electric motor and combustion engine came to just over 400 kilometres. Fuel consumption in our test usually went into double figures irrespective of whether on short trips in single-digit plus temperatures or on motorway sections.<\/p>\n<p>If you run the battery down and don&#8217;t fill it up to the reserve, more than 350 kilometres on the motorway are probably out of the question &#8211; and you can only fill up the tank quickly in the Sorento, the battery is only charged with alternating current. We are already looking forward to the practical tests with the EV9, which should compare well with the Sorento in terms of bodywork (and its primary focus on the US market).<\/p>\n<h3>The petrol engine dampens the driving pleasure<\/h3>\n<p>The Sorento PHEV weight and aerodynamics also mean that the 1.6-litre petrol engine with its 132 kW often reaches its limits when the battery is empty, and the 67 kW of the electric motor are thus omitted. At higher revs, it gets quite loud, and you can feel the small four-cylinder struggling in the big car. This is not fun in the long run, it very rarely feels like 195 kW system power in the Sorento. The Sorento is particularly pleasant to drive at lower speeds in E-mode, even if 67 kW does not sound like much. The glaring problem here is that, in the spirit of sustainable transport \u2013 or the Verkehrswende, meaning transport transition, as we say in Germany \u2013 4.81-metre-long seven-seater SUVs are not a practical size to drive through inner cities, especially in Europe, even if it is the speed comfort zone of this specific vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the Sorento Plug-in Hybrid is the right car depends on how you look at it. The BEV world cannot yet offer this much space and the option of seven seats in this price range. The long versions of the available high-roof station wagons usually lack range, and their aerodynamics and efficiency also need improvement, so they are no real substitute. Critics, on the other hand, see a big car with a small battery and a thirsty petrol engine. Plenty of space or not.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Prospective buyers of a PHEV SUV will not end up with the Kia Sorento by chance but very consciously because of its size. The price makes sure that you don&#8217;t just buy the extra 31 centimetres without really wanting it, even if the Sportage with its 4.52 metres would actually be enough. The recommended retail price for the plug-in hybrid was 61,390 euros in Germany, a whopping 16,100 euros more than the Sportage. Our test car as a seven-seater even cost just under 64,000 euros. In the end, due to &#8220;lack of availability&#8221;, orders for the Kia Sorento Plug-in Hybrid have been stopped. Kia could not confirm when exactly the model will be available again.<\/p>\n<p><em>Reporting by Sebastian Schaal, Germany.<\/em><\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=188051"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188051\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/187394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=188051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=188051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=188051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
