What's New for the 2026 Kia Sorento Hybrid?
The Sorento Hybrid moves into the new model year with a few thoughtful updates. Even when the focus is on refining features rather than introducing major changes, Kia continues to add value. Several amenities that were previously reserved for higher trims now appear on the base model, further strengthening the Sorento Hybrid's appeal and premium feel. As a capable and efficient family SUV that can handle tougher terrain, the Sorento Hybrid remains an excellent pick.
What Are the 2026 Sorento Hybrid Trims & Features?
For 2026, the Sorento Hybrid is offered in two trims: EX and X-Line SX Prestige. Keeping the hybrid lineup streamlined allows Kia to equip both versions generously. The EX model includes three-row seating for up to seven passengers, 19-inch alloy wheels, and heated Syntex seats, with available upgrades like 2nd-row captain's chairs or a Bose audio system. The X-Line SX Prestige Hybrid builds on this with leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof for a more upscale feel.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Sorento Hybrid Have?
The 2026 Sorento Hybrid delivers a combined output of 227 horsepower from its hybrid powertrain. Drivers can also opt for all-wheel drive, and the X-Line SX Prestige trim adds a tougher exterior look plus Terrain Mode to help when road conditions get challenging. Its hybrid system contributes to a smooth, confident, and rewarding drive.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Sorento Hybrid Include?
Kia continues to emphasize safety with a robust suite of driver-assistance features. Technologies such as Forward-Collision Avoidance Assist, a Blind-Spot View Monitor, and Lane Departure Warning help support you during crucial moments on the road. Automatic emergency braking adds even more reassurance by stepping in when quick responses are required.
