You are welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

Yes, they share the PHEV system between those two vehicles. I don't think there's any difference in the way that system works at all, the differences are outside of the powertrain and its operation.

Awesome! I appreciate that!

We have many customers who charge their vehicles outside it all types of weather. It shouldn't be an issue if you're careful to keep both ends clean of debris etc.

Thanks for watching!

This is something that I thought I understood, but now I'm not so sure. Let me do a little more research, and I'll make a video.

I haven't heard of that issue. I would book a service appointment to have them look into it for you.

It's probably a calibration issue... I would take it to Kia and have them calibrate... I am thinking it's a simple fix, and nothing actually broken. Worst case, they pop out the rear seat and replace the fuel sender, again, under warranty.

Yes! 2022 model Sorentos have them under the rear end of the vehicle, and you can lower them by pulling a plastic tab up from the floor and turning a bolt that lowers it under the vehicle. It's actually pretty simple.

Usually it would depend on the trim, the top trims definitely do. I don't remember about the EX off the top of my head.

So many new cars have a spare tire, but some have an inflator kit. If you have tire pressure monitors, there are MANY situations where you can detect a problem before you're stranded, and an inflator kit with some tire sealer can fix small leaks. I'm not a fan of the system, but it's not as bad as it sounds. The reason that spare tires aren't always included is because of fuel efficiency. Tires are heavy and they can lower fuel efficiency. The other reason that they likely don't say out loud is that a tire and jack is more expensive than an inflator kit. Having said all of that, they do offer 5 years of unlimited km roadside assistance, so for some people, that's enough. But yes, I would prefer spare tires in everything.

No. You can even change the name to Lexus. It's your car and it's no a safety issue.

Mileage can vary, tweaking your driving style can help. Winter mileage is always going to be worse, and using your remote start can have an effect. I've been able to get pretty close to the mileage on the Tucson hybrid in my short trips with it. As far as break in period, I don't remember what the Tucson says, but often times you need to break the engine in (no full throttle, no revs over 4000 rpm) for the first 1000 kms. I believe the transmission still learns for about 1500 kms, and I know that on the Santa Cruz they don't recommend towing until 2000 kms. So give it some time, and see how things come around in the warmer weather as well. Beyond that, I may do a hybrid driving tips video to help squeak out a little extra mileage.

@@BrantfordKia Thanks for the info!

Yes, the vehicle will regularly run on a combination of gas and electric power.

You can use either 110 or 220 and that will be called a Level 1 or a level 2 charger. I can't say how much the bill will go up, but after two and a half years of driving an electric car, I can tell you that the savings in fuelling the car vs. the increase in the electric bill is SIGNIFICANT! It's one of those things that you just don't even think about because it saves so much. There are probably online calculators to help you with this, but I don't know off the top of my head.

Yes, that's a decent basic description of what that button does. It will disengage all four wheels spinning equally as speed increases, or as the steering wheel is turned sharp. In Canada, we benefit from extra drive modes that the U.S. doesn't have right now.

@@BrantfordKia Actually, those drive modes are available on the other sorento models, just not the PHEV, which has the Lock button instead of terrain (although confusingly there is still a separate Snow Mode). I don't really get why they differentiated it in different markets, but it's still more than adequate. I love that it drives power to all 4 wheels off the line to eliminate slipping on initial acceleration. Much better than how most of the competitor AWD systems work (honda, toyota, etc)

Nice! Thanks for watching!

Were you able to get it around sticker price..? I tried getting a Telluride from Kia of Cerritos and they wanted $12K over sticker, so we bought a Palisade because the weren't asking over sticker... 2 weeks ago I went to the dealership again to look at the Sorento and they wanted $7K over sticker which made it more than what we paid for the fully loaded 2020 Palisade Limited...

@@tavo3234 I just want to put this here for our local customers. We don't charge over MSRP at our dealers.

@@tavo3234 sticker price from the dealer was 52,000, I paid 44,000. They paid off my 2021, best time to trade in

If you're talking about Quebec or BC, it's easier for you to buy within your province.

The car was redesigned in 2019.

In Canada, they're ONLY AWD.

Yes it can. There is a button where you can select between Automatic (car will decide what mode to use), EV (electric motor unless additional power is needed) or Hybird (Gas only)

You can't import from another country.

@@rockyninja5089 Sure he can. And pay all the transportation and port fees and taxes, and U.S. specs, etc. making the car cost twice as much.

Sorento PHEV - yes you can run in pure EV mode (heat uses the gas engine, so it would need to be off) for the first 50km's.

If you've got a deal with another dealer, you'll have to discuss things with them. If you have a deal with us at Brantford Kia, you can connect with our sales team. They'd be happy to talk to you about the ETA etc.

I'm not 100% sure how to do that. I have my assumptions, but I can't say for sure whether it's something that you can do or not. You'd have to ask the dealer exactly how they did, what they did.

@@BrantfordKia ok … thanks … will do

2025!

We don't ship to New Zealand.

Based on my rough calculations the gasoline, but it cost more. Engine sizes and fuel tank sizes vary.

A couple grand. But maybe your locality offers rebates?

I really appreciate your support!

Nah! You're fine. We wanted 3 or more until we got pregnant with our second... then we decided to stop! The Seltos will be fine for you!! Haha!

I'll definitely do that in a future video. (I have done it in the past in some as well) Full disclosure, I have a slight back injury right now, and I didn't want to take the risk of tweaking it yesterday so I avoided that demonstration just to give my back another day with no risk.

No we cannot, sorry

The Sorento's shown here are Platinum Graphite for the PHEV & HEV and then Ebony Black for the gasoline model

Smaller wheels are usually lighter and more fuel efficient. You could put larger wheels on, but that isn't going to be a factory option.

You like saying the name KIA?

I recharge slower!

I haven't heard that rumour. As things move to full EV in the future, I think we'll see them use new naming for new models, but at this point, I expect the Sorento to be along for quite some time still.

If you want to get technical, hybrid is the generic term.

@@krane15 Yes, as in: Hybrid vehicle, a vehicle using more than one power source or an engine sourced from a different chassis Hybrid electric vehicle, a vehicle using both internal combustion and electric power sources Plug-in hybrid, whose battery can be recharged by a charging cable Hybrid bicycle, a bicycle with features of road and mountain bikes Hybrid train, a locomotive, railcar, or train that uses an onboard rechargeable energy storage system Hybrid motorcycle, a motorcycle built using components from more than one original-manufacturer products, such as Norvin, TriBSA, or Triton Hybrid rocket, a rocket motor using propellants from two different states of matter Hybrid shipping container, a container using phase change material in combination with the ability to recharge itself So what part of my question did you fail to understand?
