the Sorento phev is only 90hp
the Sorento phev is only 90hp electric and Rivian R1S 800hp so it's like comparing a jeep trackhawk or Durango hellcat to a Ford EcoSport 1.0...
also RAV4 prime is 180hp electric and 94mpge, so Sorento phev is quite underwhelming
I think PHEV are good because they can do all daily driving on electric and be more practical than EV for long trips but they need to have decent emEV mode performance lire RAV4 prime. if you get a taste of EV you will never wanna go back to a "turtle" EV mode like some PHEVs...
also the cheapest used 3 row phev with decent mpg and not 100k+ miles is at least $40k
I got my Sorento V6 with 1 year/16k miles for 18k and it gets 30/32mpg highway despite 25mpg EPA rating, and I got a 30k miles fiat 500e for 8k. I have best of borh worlds, snappy EV acceleration with zero gas use for city driving, and comfortable hassle free long trips with mpg that is not too far off any hybrid SUV. I am waiting for a good public fast charging network to compete with Tesla before considering a long range EV
