The 2026 Kia Sorento is a thoughtfully engineered three-row SUV built to handle busy weeks and bigger weekends with equal poise. For Austin, TX drivers comparing options across the midsize SUV landscape, the Sorento delivers the flexibility of available 2nd-row captain’s chairs, standard 3rd-row seating, and the confidence of available all-wheel drive with Terrain Mode. It also brings standout technology—like the available 24-in. total combined Dual Panoramic Displays and an available 360° Surround View Monitor—to everyday driving. If you’re shopping online and weighing real-world usability, approachable size, and travel-ready features, the Sorento belongs at the top of your list. Our team at Ancira Kia near Austin is here to help you research trims, review features, and find the right configuration for your driveway.
Under the hood, the 2026 Kia Sorento offers an available 281-hp turbocharged engine that feels eager merging onto I-35 or climbing into the Hill Country. Available torque-vectoring all-wheel drive with Terrain Mode helps you maintain traction when the pavement ends, while the Sorento X-Pro variant adds adventurous equipment—like all-terrain tires—designed for dirt roads and campsite approaches. With up to 4,500 pounds of towing capacity on X-Pro, you can bring along a small boat or compact camper with added confidence. The Sorento rides with a balanced, quiet demeanor on city streets and interstates, then adapts for weekend routes, making it a right-sized solution for active Austin families who want capability without moving up to an oversized SUV.
The 2026 Sorento’s cabin is designed around comfort, control, and convenient access to information. Families will appreciate the thoughtful small-item storage, quick third-row access, and straightforward controls. The available Dual Panoramic Displays place your maps, media, and vehicle data side by side, while standard wireless smartphone integration keeps cords out of sight. Add the available Bose® system for rich, well-balanced sound, and consider the available panoramic sunroof to brighten school runs and road trips alike. Whether you’re loading gear at Barton Springs, navigating a crowded garage downtown, or settling in for a longer highway drive, the Sorento’s tech and comfort features work together to make every mile feel easier.
The Sorento brings an impressive suite of safety and driver-assist technologies designed to help you stay confident across town and beyond. Standard Auto Emergency Braking adds advanced detection capabilities, while standard rear cross-traffic assistance helps in busy parking areas. Available upgrades raise situational awareness further—like Blind-Spot View Monitor’s live camera feed and a 360° Surround View Monitor that helps you visualize curbs and obstacles. For longer stretches on I-35, available Highway Driving Assist 2 can assist with steering input and lane changes when appropriately activated, supporting smoother, less stressful travel on well-marked highways.
