The 2026 Kia Sorento tackles carpool mornings, soccer practice hauls, and spontaneous weekend getaways without breaking a sweat. At Shelby Kia, families discover three-row flexibility that adjusts to real life: shuttling neighborhood kids on Tuesday, then loading camping gear by Friday. This SUV delivers practical solutions families actually use — here are just a few.
Seating That Adapts as Kids Grow
Seven passengers fit comfortably across three rows. Available second-row captain’s chairs widen the center aisle enough that grandparents can step into the third row without contorting themselves. Behind that third row, 12.6 cubic feet holds three backpacks, two hockey bags, and a week’s worth of groceries stacked to the cargo cover.
Technology Built for Real Family Life
Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard, letting teens stream playlists while you navigate through the 12.3-inch touchscreen. Select trims add dual panoramic displays spanning the dashboard. Seven USB ports ensure nobody’s device dies halfway to grandma’s house, and Kia Connect® Digital Key 2.0 turns your smartphone into the key itself.
Safety Systems That Actually Help
Kia Drive Wise™ technology monitors surroundings constantly, watching for pedestrians and cyclists through Auto Emergency Braking. Blind-Spot Detection and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist cover angles you physically can’t see while backing out of crowded parking lots. Higher trims add Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control with Highway Driving Assist for long highway stretches.
Performance That Rises to the Occasion
The available turbocharged 2.5-liter engine delivers 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, making highway merging easy even with a full passenger load. X-Pro trims tow up to 4,500 lbs when properly equipped, handling boats or campers with Terrain Mode for dirt roads leading to trailheads.
