The Kia Sorento made its debut in 2002 as a rugged, body-on-frame SUV built for utility and value. Over time, it evolved into a more refined, car-based crossover, starting with the 2011 redesign that emphasized comfort and efficiency. The 2016 model pushed style and tech forward, offering a sleeker look and more premium features. By 2021, the Sorento gained hybrid and plug-in hybrid options, showing Kia’s focus on modern needs. Today, it balances space, performance, and affordability, making it a strong choice for families. Come by Kia of Lexington for a look at the 2026 Kia Sorento.
The Kia Sorento keeps convenience at your fingertips with smart tech features designed for everyday life. Remote Start with Climate Control lets you set the cabin just right before you even get in, while Find My Car makes locating your Sorento simple through the Kia Access app. The available Digital Key 2.0 lets you unlock, start, and even share access to your Sorento right from your smartphone.
The available 360° Surround View Monitor makes parking and tight maneuvers easier with an aerial view of your surroundings. For added awareness, the Blind-Spot View Monitor shows a live video feed of your rear blind spots right in the digital gauge cluster.
We like how the Kia Sorento delivers confident performance with up to 281 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft. of torque, giving you the power you need for everyday driving and weekend getaways. Plus, Idle Stop & Go helps improve efficiency by shutting off the engine when you’re stopped, then seamlessly restarting when you’re ready to move again.
Standard Auto Emergency Braking can help detect cars, cyclists, and pedestrians, applying the brakes if needed to avoid a collision. Available Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist helps keep you in your lane, while Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist steps in when backing out of tight spaces. Standard parking sensors make maneuvering easier, and available Highway Driving Assist 2 helps maintain speed, distance, and even assists with lane changes.

When it’s time to load up, fold the 2nd and 3rd rows flat for up to 75.5 cu. ft. of cargo room, plus enjoy the convenience of the available Smart Power Liftgate with Auto Close.
