Pictured here is the Sorento Hybrid, which is just as snazzy-looking as the standard model.

It's not exactly a baby Telluride, the larger crossover that we adore so much, but the Sorento's family resemblance is clear.

The Hybrid is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine mated to a 44-kilowatt electric motor.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
