2022 kia Sorento PHEV – Interior

The interior of the fourth-generation Sorento represents a step-change in quality and design for Kia cabins. From the first-generation 2002 Kia Sorento, which provided occupants with a practical, robust and utilitarian space, the Sorento today provides owners with something altogether more striking, desirable and comfortable.

One of the highest quality interior spaces found in any Kia to-date, the intuitive, tech-oriented cabin of the new Sorento is fitted with premium-quality materials and cutting-edge infotainment. At the same time, it retains the spaciousness and versatility that has characterised the Sorento over its 18-year existence.

The attractive, upscale cabin introduces a sophisticated next-generation design, based around twin digital displays in the dashboard. The 12.3-inch digital driver instrument cluster is twinned with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment and navigation system at the centre of the dashboard. These display information clearly within the driver’s line of sight, and create an innovative wide-screen user experience. The graphics of the new digital instrument cluster change depending on the selected drive mode, ‘Smart’, ‘Sport’ or ‘ECO’. Drivers can also select a dynamic display theme, according to the time of day and weather conditions.

The car’s many functions can also be controlled with new haptic buttons on either side of the screen, which also feature further down the dashboard for the climate control system. The focal point of the dashboard is the eye-catching vertical ventilation stack, with a chrome-effect surround that extends onto the centre console below.

The cabin of the new Sorento subtly integrates a range of other technologies, including an available Mood Lighting system, which emits soft ambient downlighting from beneath the dashboard and door trim, creating a lounge-like feeling and greater sense of space. A wireless smartphone charger also sits at the base of the centre console, while a powerful BOSE® surround-sound system is also available to provide a more immersive in-car audio experience.

Material quality is enhanced, with a cabin that blends metallic trim, leather upholstery, and gloss black and embossed satin-effect surfaces. Applied throughout the interior and across the dashboard, the cabin boasts a more sophisticated appearance and ambience as a result. In Europe, the Sorento PHEV is offered to buyers with a choice of black cloth, leather (grey or black single-tone, or black-and-grey two-tone), or black quilted Nappa leather.

The new Sorento is also available with a panoramic sunroof, which floods the cabin with natural light. An Integrated Memory system is able to memorise the preferred position for the driver’s seat, door mirrors, Head-Up Display and interior light settings for up to two drivers. The driver’s seat features Smart Temperature Comfort Control, which calculates the difference between the external temperature and desired climate control setting, and activates the heated steering wheel and seat, or ventilated seat for maximum cabin comfort. Rear seat passengers are also catered for, with their own air vents and manual air conditioning, rear door curtains to reduce sun glare, and heated seats in the second row. For models with leather or Nappa leather upholstery, the Sorento’s front seats are also heated and ventilated.
