Kia Sorento: real-world fuel consumption
Fuel meter readings from 6,287 Kia Sorento cars reported in 2024, split by engine.
Excluding plug-in hybrids, the average is 7.7 L/100 km on the road against 6.8 officially (13% above official).
Lowest real-world consumption: Diesel · 148 kW (201 hp) at 7.6 L/100 km.
Every engine: official vs real
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diesel · 142 kW (193 hp) | 941 | 6.6 | 7.8 | +19% |
| Diesel · 148 kW (201 hp) | 779 | 6.7 | 7.6 | +14% |
| Hybrid · 132 kW (179 hp) | 1,682 | 7.1 | 7.9 | +10% |
Engines with fewer than 100 cars in the data are not shown. Hybrid includes mild hybrids (48 V) as registered by the manufacturer.
Plug-in hybrid
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Electric share | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plug-in hybrid · 132 kW (179 hp) | 2,877 | 1.7 | 6.0 | 23% | +258% |
The official WLTP figure for plug-in hybrids assumes a share of electric driving based on range. When cars are charged less often than assumed, real consumption is far higher.
By reporting year
| cars | Real world | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 120 | 8.2 |
| 2022 | 738 | 7.9 |
| 2023 | 1,993 | 7.7 |
| 2024 | 3,407 | 7.7 |
The same cars are reported again each year with their lifetime totals, so years are not added together.
