Follow on Google News | Kia unveils Sorento diesel-electric hybrid at Frankfurt Motor ShowSorento hybrid will be the first-ever diesel-electric hybrid from Kia stable.
By: Michael Kia Earning the reputation of Kia's first ever diesel-electric hybrid, the Sorento diesel-electric hybrid shares the same 163 hp U2 1.6-liter turbo-diesel engine that powers the Soul, Venga and the face lifted Cee'd. The engine is linked to a 40 hp electric motor and a dual-clutch transmission. The hybrid Sorento’s shape has been redesigned to maximize aerodynamics with more tweaks. With the down-sized engine, lower suspension, high-tech wheel rims and narrow tires among other technical enhancements, the Sorento diesel-electric hybrid has reduced the overall drag coefficient and lowered the CO2 emissions by 30 percent when compared to the non-hybrid 2010 Sorento crossover. Though Kia has not revealed whether it will start production in the immediate future, Michael Kia is sure that it will be the best vehicle produced under Kia’s new EcoDynamics badge. # # # About the Company: Michael Kia is the foremost Kia dealership in Groton which exhibits a wide range of new Kia and pre-owned Kia cars including Amanti, Forte, Forte Koup, Optima, Rio, Rio5, Rondo, Soul, Spectra, Spectra5, Borrego, Sedona, Sorento & Sportage.
