Fuel Type
Variant

The 2026 Kia Sorento is a compact three-row SUV that covers an impressive range of buyer needs in one well-rounded package, available across five core trim levels — LX, S, EX, SX, and SX Prestige — plus rugged X-Line and X-Pro variants for buyers who want light off-road capability, starting at just $32,390. Powertrain choices are genuinely diverse: the naturally aspirated 2.5L four-cylinder (191 hp) anchors the LX and S, the turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder (281 hp, 311 lb-ft) takes over from EX upward for brisk performance, the 1.6L turbo hybrid (227 hp) delivers up to 37 MPG combined, and the plug-in hybrid (261 hp, AWD standard) extends range with up to 30 miles of electric-only driving — all with standard FWD and available AWD across most trims. Every 2026 Sorento comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot detection, and seven-passenger seating with a 60/40-split second row. The SX adds a heated steering wheel, Bose premium audio, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror, the X-Line trims bring extra ground clearance and all-terrain-ready styling, the adventurous X-Pro SX Prestige tops the off-road ladder with matte-black 17-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires and a 4,500 lb towing capacity — all backed by Kia's class-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
