It’s a shame the gas US built/gas Sorentos have a prop rod. The Hybrids have two struts. So if you see photos from the US reviews of them having struts it’s the US version of the Sorento hybrid.

That’s interesting. In theory then it should be possible to get the part numbers and order / retrofit them.

You are probably correct on that. I’m pretty sure the Hybrid comes with with struts because it’s not worth their time to modify/add options to the Korean Manufacturing lines to save a few bucks/cheap out on what 10-20k cars a year.

I did some research and all the pictures of cars with struts are Sorento's from overseas. I was just at a dealer and saw examples of all the trims and they all have push rods. I used a picture of a car in Australia with a diesel. We of coarse we in American can't have that either.

The gassers yes. Hybrids no. All hybrids world wide are imported off the Korean manufacturing lines.

This is my Sorento EX Hybrid.
