Powertrain That Brings Confidence to Every Drive

Both the Sorento HEV and PHEV are built on the same foundation. Each pairs a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor. Power runs through a six-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive is standard across every trim level. With this setup, you get a smooth, capable ride whether you are commuting during the week or heading out of town on the weekend. Shift-by-wire technology, steering wheel paddle shifters, and Drive Mode Select give you control when you want it most.

Room for Everyone Without Sacrificing Style

Inside, the Sorento offers six-passenger seating with second-row captain’s chairs. This layout adds comfort while keeping the cabin versatile. Whether you are loading kids in the back or gearing up for a longer trip, the Sorento balances everyday usability with a refined interior. Every model rides on 19-inch alloy wheels, so it has the same presence no matter which trim you choose.

A Clear Trim Progression That Fits Different Needs

The 2026 Sorento lineup offers three trims for both the HEV and PHEV. LX keeps things simple yet practical with cloth seating, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 12.3-inch interface, and a smart key with power liftgate. EX raises the bar with artificial leather, a heated steering wheel, wireless charging, and an electrochromic mirror. SX brings full leather seating, Bose premium audio, a 12.3-inch supervision cluster, ventilated front seats, memory functions, and advanced safety like Surround View Monitor and Blind View Monitor.

Advanced Tech That Feels Effortless

Every Sorento comes standard with Kia Connect telematics. This system ties your SUV directly to your smartphone so you can lock or unlock doors, remote start with climate control, check your fuel level, or even get automatic updates over the air. PHEV models add charging-specific features like battery status monitoring, charging controls, and scheduled charging. It is about convenience that fits seamlessly into your life.

Safety Comes Standard Across the Board

No matter which trim you choose, you are backed by nine airbags, electronic stability control, and a suite of driver assistance systems. Forward Collision Avoidance 1.5, Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, and Lane Following Assist 2 come standard. EX and SX trims expand on this with Highway Driving Assist 2, Parking Collision Avoidance, and enhanced parking distance warnings. Whether you are in traffic or on the highway, the Sorento has your back.
