Kia will introduce the Sorento PHEV to the U.S. market later this year.

The hybrid modification will soon enter the North American market. But Russian buyers will not have to wait for it.

Official representatives of Kia said that hybrid version of the crossover Kia Sorento will not be sold in Russia. It became known on Friday, August 20.

The Korean company names two main reasons. Firstly, demand and interest to plug-in hybrids in the Russian Federation is still quite small, even electric cars are bought more often. Secondly, our country currently lacks proper infrastructure.

When there is a positive trend in these areas, the decision may be reconsidered. There is another possible reason that Kia is not talking about, which is the service of such cars.

There is now a shortage of qualified personnel in car service centers, and when it comes to the servicing of hybrid engines, the issue is even more acute.
