Key Features of the 2026 Kia Sorento

24-in. total combined Panoramic Displays

The available Dual Panoramic Display w/ Navigation provides approximately 24 inches of combined screen space, creating a wide, modern command center for the driver. This setup smartly unites the digital gauge cluster and touchscreen for fluid access to key menus. Standard Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™ allow you to leave cables behind—your playlists, podcasts, and navigation are only a tap away. With intuitive menus and crisp graphics, the Sorento keeps information glanceable and interactions predictable, reducing distraction during busy commutes. For tech-minded shoppers near Broomfield, CO, this display experience is a highlight that helps the Sorento feel current for years to come.

All-Wheel Drive w/ Terrain Mode

Available all-wheel drive w/ Terrain Mode equips the Sorento for changing conditions—rain, snow, gravel, or trailhead approaches. The system can adapt power delivery to maintain traction and poise, while torque-vectoring capability helps enhance control through corners and varying surfaces. The X-Pro variant leans into adventure with all-terrain tires and 8.2 inches of ground clearance. Whether you are detouring to a lakeside campground or navigating an unplowed street, these systems work behind the scenes so confidence stays high and stress stays low. Pair this with the available 281 hp turbocharged engine, and the Sorento delivers a responsive, ready-for-anything drive feel.

3rd-Row Seating & 2nd-Row Captain’s Chairs

Standard 3rd-row seating gives you the ability to seat up to seven, while the standard 2nd-row bench slides forward at the touch of a button for easy 3rd-row access. Families can also choose available 2nd-row captain’s chairs to create a more premium, open feel with a clear pass-through to the back. Standard 50/50 split-folding 3rd-row seats make it simple to tailor cargo and passenger space on the fly, and when you fold both rear rows, you can open up to 75.5 cu. ft. of cargo room. Available premium touches—like genuine leather seat trim, a premium suede headliner, heated 2nd-row seats, and a heated steering wheel—transform the Sorento into a relaxing, quiet space your crew will appreciate.

Smart Power Liftgate w/ Auto Close

The available Smart Power Liftgate w/ Auto Close makes cargo loading easier when your hands are full. The liftgate is designed to open automatically by sensing your key when you approach and close automatically when the smart key fob is no longer detected near the vehicle. It pairs perfectly with the Sorento’s generous cargo flexibility, especially when juggling sports bags, groceries, or luggage. Combine this with available roof rail accessories—like a bike rack or rooftop cargo box—and the Sorento adapts to weekend plans without drama. The point is simple: the Sorento’s convenience features work the way you do, streamlining life with thoughtful automation.

Highway Driving Assist 2

Available Highway Driving Assist 2 uses a forward-facing camera, radar sensors, and navigation data to help maintain a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, and it can assist with steering wheel control—helping you stay centered on many types of highways. The system can also assist with steering when changing lanes, activated by the turn signal and a one-touch button for speed settings. It is an added layer of assistance for long stretches of interstate or peak-hour commutes, working alongside other Sorento driver aids like standard Auto Emergency Braking, standard Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, available Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, and available parking sensors. This thoughtful tech suite underscores how the Sorento prioritizes everyday peace of mind.
