Kia Sorento plug-in hybrid 2022 long-term review | Autocar

Winter is coming, as any fan of Game of Thrones knows, which means dew-laden mornings and misted- over side mirrors. This isn’t helped by the Sorento being parked near a yew hedge and in the shade. It does have heated mirrors, but only when you turn on the rear heated screen do they come alive. Not the most logical step.AdvertisementAt 4810mm long and 1900mm wide, the Sorento is a big old lump, and its wheelbase is 74mm longer than a Land Rover Disco Sport’s.

Step forward Mission Motorsport, an armed forces motor racing charity that recently set a hypermiling record in a Renault Zoe by managing to coax a standard car for a mightily impressive 424.7 miles, equivalent to 9.1 miles per kWh. The record was set by a team of six drivers, two of whom agreed recently to give me some tips.Before we get into the details, a caveat: their record was set at Thruxton circuit so some of their advice isn’t necessarily transferable to a stop-start schlep up the M1...

As Noble and Lambert-Lea both point out, however, driving without shoes is actually illegal. So what are the other solutions? The Kia has a floor-mounted throttle, which threw Noble when she first jumped in because the Zoe’s was mounted from above. But she soon adapted, angling her foot so that she could work the top of the pedal with her toe.

Since then, I’ve barely had any CarPlay connection. I should point out that the phone still connects via Bluetooth, so legal phone calls remain possible, but all the extras CarPlay brings are out of reach for now. The phone works fine on other cars, so I assume it’s something to do with the Kia.Fold-flat rear seats are still proving to be hugely useful. Workhorse Sorento is earning its keep.Issues with CarPlay make long journeys more of a gamble than they need to be.
