What's New for the 2026 Sorento?
The newest Kia Sorento brings a thoughtful wave of trim-level adjustments that aim to make each version feel more purpose-built. The interior takes a clear step forward with a new steering wheel and dual 12.3-inch screens across most trims, while the rugged variants gain more emphasis on off-road credibility. A few tech details shift too, including the loss of built-in navigation on the S trim, keeping the focus on streamlined value and digital integration.

- Enhanced off-road emphasis for X-Pro.
- New steering wheel design.
- Dual 12.3-inch screens across most trims.
- Tech tweaks including no built-in navigation on S.
