What's New for the 2026 Kia Sorento Hybrid?
The Sorento Hybrid moves into the new model year with a handful of updates. Even in years focused on refining trims, one thing remains consistent: its strong value. Several features that were previously limited to higher trims now appear on the base model, enhancing its appeal and further cementing its reputation for refinement. As a fuel-efficient family SUV capable of handling tougher terrain, the Sorento Hybrid continues to be a smart and versatile choice.
What Are the 2026 Sorento Hybrid Trims & Features?
The 2026 Sorento Hybrid is available in two trims: EX and X-Line SX Prestige. By limiting the hybrid lineup to these two options, Kia packed both with an impressive array of features. The EX trim offers three rows of seating for up to seven passengers, 19-inch alloy wheels, and heated Syntex seats, along with upgrade options like 2nd-row captain's chairs or a Bose premium audio system. The X-Line SX Prestige Hybrid elevates the experience with leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Sorento Hybrid Have?
The latest Sorento Hybrid delivers 227 horsepower through its efficient hybrid powertrain. All-wheel drive is available, and the X-Line SX Prestige trim adds a more rugged look along with Terrain Mode, designed to support drivers on more challenging surfaces. The hybrid system contributes greatly to the SUV's smooth and rewarding driving experience.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Sorento Hybrid Include?
Kia continues its commitment to safety by equipping the Sorento Hybrid with a comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies. Key features include Forward-Collision Avoidance Assist, a Blind-Spot View Monitor, and Lane Departure Warning, all designed to provide support during critical moments. Automatic emergency braking adds another layer of protection, helping intervene when quick reactions are needed.
