The 2026 Kia Sorento Gas - Up to 281 Max Horsepower
A busy parent in Cleveland hops into their gas-model Sorento, ready to knock out a tight schedule. The grocery store is on one side of town, with the post office a couple of left turns away. The kids need to be picked up on the other side of town, then there’s a good stretch of road all the way back home. Mission accomplished, all thanks to this powerful SUV.
A 2.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine rests inside the 2026 Kia Sorento gas model available in Bedford. 191 horsepower (and 182 lb-ft of torque) grants powerful acceleration from a dead stop at every red light and the boost to get onto the freeway without lag. Cornering handles well, and available AWD with Terrain Mode accounts for rainy weather.
