Kia Sorento Hybrid 2025–2026 car dimensions: 4815 mm long, 1900 mm wide and 1700 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,971 kg. Braked towing is 907 kg.
The cabin centers on a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto. Dual-zone automatic climate control with rear vents is standard. Standard driver aids include forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind-spot warning, lane keeping assist with lane following, navigation-based smart cruise control with stop-and-go, front and rear parking sensors, and a rearview camera. Higher trims add surround-view camera, side sensors, and enhanced highway assist.
Cargo volume is 12.6 cubic feet behind the third row. Folding the third row opens 38.5 to 45.0 cubic feet behind the second row. With second and third rows folded, maximum space reaches 75.5 cubic feet.
Towing capacity is 2,000 pounds when properly equipped, with unbraked capacity at 1,654 pounds. A towing package with trailer pre-wiring is available on hybrid trims.
Payload is approximately 1,200 to 1,270 pounds depending on configuration and drivetrain. The setup suits light trailers or utility loads rather than heavy work.
The cabin feels modern and well built with soft-touch surfaces and dual-zone automatic climate control. Front seats are power-adjustable and heated as standard, with multi-way adjustments including lumbar support. Higher grades add ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, a panoramic sunroof, and leather trim for a more open and supportive feel on longer drives. Acoustic-laminated glass helps keep the interior quiet.

The turbo-hybrid powertrain pairs a 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder with an electric motor for 227 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. It returns strong EPA fuel economy figures that help stretch range beyond 600 miles on a full tank depending on drivetrain and conditions. Regular unleaded fuel is all that is required.
Routine care centers on oil and filter changes every 8,000 miles or 12 months under normal use, with tire rotations at the same interval. Spark plugs and brake fluid are due around 48,000 miles. The hybrid system adds its own coolant checks on a longer schedule. A service interval reminder is built into the instrument cluster.
Safety ratings are strong, with a full five stars from NHTSA overall and IIHS Top Safety Pick+ recognition. Every model includes a broad set of standard driver-assistance features such as automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-traffic alert. Higher grades add surround-view cameras and enhanced highway assist.
Ownership is backed by Kia’s long basic and powertrain warranties that also cover the hybrid components. The vehicle is designed for straightforward maintenance with available remote services through Kia Connect to help monitor status and schedule care.
