X-Pro Confidence and Terrain Mode Smarts in the 2026 Kia Sorento for Boulder, CO Adventurers

Grand Kia - X-Pro Confidence and Terrain Mode Smarts in the 2026 Kia Sorento for Boulder, CO Adventurers

Weekend plans around Boulder, CO come in all forms—early trailheads, winding canyon drives, and impromptu detours when the forecast calls for a dusting of snow. The 2026 Kia Sorento’s X-Pro configuration steps into that lifestyle with the right mechanical and tech upgrades, from an available 281 hp turbocharged engine to all-terrain tires and 8.2 inches of ground clearance. Torque-vectoring AWD w/ Terrain Mode brings real-world traction logic, helping you manage gravel pull-offs near trailheads and slushy side streets after a storm. Add the 4,500-lb. towing capacity for a small adventure trailer, and you have an all-around family SUV that’s unafraid of the twisty climb toward your next viewpoint.

Inside, capability meets calm. The available 24-inch total combined Dual Panoramic Displays centralize navigation, vehicle info, and media with standard Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™, while the available 360° Surround View Monitor helps thread the needle in parking areas short on space. If you’ve packed to the roof, the available Full Display Digital Rearview Mirror restores a clear, wide-angle view behind you. And when the day goes long, available heated and ventilated front seats, available heated 2nd-row seats, and available acoustic laminated glass help everyone stay relaxed until home.

• Terrain Mode variety: Toggle calibrated settings aimed to optimize traction on a range of surfaces.
• Ground clearance advantage: 8.2 inches lets you approach trailhead ruts and snowpack more confidently.
• Towing versatility: Up to 4,500 lbs. supports camping hauls, bikes, and season-ready gear.
• Driver assistance boost: Available Highway Driving Assist 2 and Auto Emergency Braking technologies add awareness when canyon traffic tightens.

Those who value confidence under changing skies will also appreciate the Sorento’s smart cargo features. Up to 75.5 cu. ft. of cargo room with the 2nd and 3rd rows folded makes space for coolers, duffels, and bulky gear, and the available Smart Power Liftgate w/ Auto Close streamlines loading when hands are full. Available roof rails pair with optional accessories like a rooftop cargo box, freeing the interior for kids, snacks, and the dog’s bed. These are thoughtful touches that make a difference when every weekend has a different plan.

Safety and visibility technologies shine in the foothills. The available 360° Surround View Monitor assists with tight trail parking and angled curbs; the available Blind-Spot View Monitor and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist help with multi-lane merges after those scenic stops; and the mix of available Parking Sensors gives audible support in crowded lots. Add the available 12-speaker Bose® premium audio system for spirited playlists on Peak to Peak Highway, and the Sorento’s cabin becomes a comfortable command center.

Curious whether leasing or financing makes sense for an adventure-ready build? Leasing can keep you aligned with evolving AWD calibrations and tech, while financing favors the long game—ideal for racking up miles and tailoring accessories to fit your four-season routine. Either way, Grand Kia is ready to help you match your plan to your driving style with clear options and a straightforward process, serving Broomfield, Westminster, and Boulder with tools that fit busy schedules.
