Select Your Model Year

Each year links to its full interval-by-interval schedule. Every year also has its own recall history — worth a check while you’re here.

How the Schedule Has Changed Over Time

2024 — Facelift
LED Lighting & NVH Upgrades Maintenance
The mid-cycle facelift brought LED lighting, larger screens, and noise/vibration improvements to the whole Sorento lineup, including the Hybrid.
2021 — Sorento Hybrid Launches
1.6L Turbo-Hybrid Joins the MQ4 Lineup New Gen
The MQ4 Sorento debuted a 1.6L turbo-GDI hybrid producing 227 hp combined, alongside a PHEV variant sold on its own page. First engine coolant change lands at 120,000 miles — the hybrid's separate high-voltage inverter coolant loop runs on its own, shorter schedule and doesn't share that figure. Regenerative braking extends front-pad life versus the gas Sorento, and the turbo takes spark plugs at 48,000 miles.

Sorento Hybrid Maintenance FAQs

Where's the Sorento Hybrid Schedule for My Year?

Select 2021–2027 for oil and rotation, filters, brake fluid, spark plugs, coolant, and high-voltage battery service.

Does the Hybrid Need Different Service Than the Gas Sorento?

It shares most intervals but adds a separate high-voltage inverter coolant loop, distinct from the 120,000-mile engine coolant change; regenerative braking extends pad life, and the 1.6L turbo needs spark plugs at 48,000 miles.

Is the Hybrid Battery Covered?

Yes — a 10-year/100,000-mile high-voltage battery warranty (at least 70% capacity) plus the powertrain warranty. See Warranty Forever for details.
