Good Things Come In Threes. Do It All (With Style) In the 3-Row 2026 Kia Sorento!

Peak Capability On a 3-Row Platform
The X-Pro line is shared between these two SUVs. But while the Sportage X-Pro models offer extra ground clearance and all-terrain tires, going X-Pro in the Sorento hits different. You get a curated powertrain decked with tuned systems like torque-vectoring AWD, center-locking differential, and a whopping 4,500-pound towing capacity.
Setting the Bar For Interior Tech
Again, the Sorento boasts a 24-inch panoramic screen just like the Sportage. Again, the Sorento adds to the mix. Choosing the new 2026 Kia Sorento in Bedford opens the door to even more features like the new Full Display Digital Rearview Mirror, Remote Start, and Smart Power Liftgate w/ Auto Close.
