2026 Kia
Sorento

It’s an understatement to say there’s a lot of competition in the midsized crossover market. Recognizing this, Kia has given the Sorento everything it needs to maintain its edge: three-row seating, a long and varied lineup of trims, and eye-catching design. They also haven’t ignored another element that’s enabled them to succeed: value. One way this is reinforced is with an extensive standard suite of advanced driver-assist technologies.

The 2026 Sorento also stays ahead of its rivals thanks to Kia’s exceptional warranty. This coverage includes a five-year or 60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and powertrain protection for ten years or 100,000 miles. Owners also benefit from roadside assistance for five years or 60,000 miles.
