The 2026 Kia Sorento raises the bar for midsize SUVs, blending advanced technology, versatile design, and confident performance into one refined package. Whether it’s the daily commute, a family road trip, or an off-road excursion, the Sorento is engineered to deliver comfort, capability, and innovation.
Advanced Technology for a Seamless Drive
Inside the cabin, the Sorento integrates Kia’s most up-to-date tech. The panoramic digital display pairs two 12.3-inch screens—one for the digital instrument cluster and the other for infotainment—creating a wide, modern command center. Wireless device charging, Digital Key 2, and a Full Display Mirror add everyday convenience, while the available Surround View Monitor provides a comprehensive 360° view for easier parking and maneuvering.
Spacious and Versatile Interior
The Sorento accommodates either six or seven passengers, with easy-to-fold second- and third-row seats that expand cargo capacity to 75.5 cu. ft.. Even with passengers onboard, thoughtful storage solutions and a spacious layout ensure comfort and practicality. The Smart Power Liftgate makes loading easy, while available upgrades like a panoramic sunroof and 12-speaker Bose® Premium Audio System elevate the driving experience.
Performance and Capability
With two engine choices, the Sorento caters to different driving needs. The 2.5L I-4 produces 191 hp and 181 lbs.-ft. of torque, ideal for efficiency-minded drivers. For more power, the 2.5L Turbocharged I-4 delivers 281 hp and 311 lbs.-ft. of torque, paired with available AWD for added confidence.
For adventurers, the X-Pro trim enhances capability with all-terrain tires, unique suspension tuning, and a best-in-line towing capacity of 4,500 lbs. when properly equipped. Other models tow up to 3,500 lbs., ensuring flexibility for a variety of needs.
Comprehensive Safety Features
Every 2026 Sorento comes standard with Kia Drive Wise driver-assistance systems, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2 with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction Turning/Crossing detection, plus Evasive Steering Assist. Additional systems such as Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Parking Distance Warning provide added confidence in every environment. Available upgrades like the Surround View Monitor extend safety coverage even further.
