2025 Kia Sorento PHEV
Kia is stepping up its game with the 2025 Sorento PHEV, a plug-in hybrid SUV that combines practicality and sustainability. The Kia Sorento PHEV was first launched in 2021. However, the Sorento underwent a design refresh in 2023 for the 2024 model year. This new design is expected to debut with the PHEV powertrain for the first time in the 2025 model.
In the UAE, the Kia Sorento is currently available only with a 2.5-litre petrol engine. Given the rapid rise in popularity hybrids are experiencing, Kia UAE might end up launching the Sorento PHEV. Stay tuned for more on this. Inside, the Sorento boasts a premium cabin with spacious three-row seating, making it an ideal choice for families looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
Highlights:
Chevrolet Corvette SUV
The words ‘Chevrolet Corvette SUV’ are sacrilege to purists and enthusiasts who have come to love the Corvette sports car over its eight generations. However, performance SUVs like the Ferrari Purosangue, Lamborghini Urus, and Aston Martin DBX are all the rage these days and Corvette doesn’t want to be left out.
While the future certainly holds an electric version of the Corvette SUV, the SUV will be powered by a petrol powertrain when it is launched. Exact details are yet to be revealed but it is expected to feature a twin-turbo V6 and GM’s well-known and much-loved 6.2-litre V8. This high-performance SUV promises aggressive styling, a sporty driving experience, and a powerful engine lineup.
Highlights:
2025 Audi Q5 & SQ5

The third-generation Audi Q5 was revealed in September 2024 and is expected to go into production in 2025. The new-generation Q5 features Audi’s signature design language, advanced technology, and improved powertrain options.
The SQ5, meanwhile, will cater to performance-oriented buyers with sportier styling and enhanced power output. Both models offer a luxurious cabin with cutting-edge features, making them strong contenders in the premium SUV market.
