New 2026 Kia Sorento EX With Navigation

2026 Kia Sorento EX FWD 2.5L I-4 port/direct injection, DOHC, variable valve control, intercooled turbo, regular unleaded, engine with 281HP 8-speed auto-shift manual. This Sorento EX combines a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder and an 8-speed auto-shift manual transmission to deliver lively acceleration with practical daily fuel efficiency, making it a versatile choice for commuting, errands, and weekend getaways.

The cabin is designed around everyday usability and comfort. A built-in mobile hotspot keeps passengers connected on long trips without draining individual data plans, while the rear camera gives an extra set of eyes when reversing or maneuvering in tight spaces. Those conveniences make routine drives simpler and more relaxed for families and solo drivers alike.

Safety and driver assistance are central to the Sorento EX’s appeal. Front pedestrian impact prevention continuously scans ahead and can intervene to help avoid collisions with pedestrians, adding reassurance in busy urban settings. Lane departure prevention works to gently correct unintended lane drift so the vehicle stays centered when attention lapses. Rear collision mitigation monitors traffic behind and prepares the vehicle and occupants if a rear impact appears imminent, helping reduce potential harm.

Highway and long-distance driving are made easier with advanced cruise and steering aids. Hands-on steering assist with lane centering reduces steering workload on long stretches, helping maintain lane position while keeping the driver engaged. Automatic curve slowdown cruise control uses navigation information to anticipate bends and reduce speed when necessary, smoothing out transitions through winding roads and easing driver fatigue. Adaptive cruise control with traffic stop-go maintains a chosen following distance and can bring the vehicle to a stop and resume in congested traffic, which makes stop-and-go commutes less stressful.

Stopping performance is supported by brake assist, which detects emergency braking inputs and supplements braking force to help shorten stopping distances when seconds count. Altogether, these systems form a cohesive safety package that enhances confidence behind the wheel without overwhelming day-to-day operation.

Practical, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped, the 2026 Kia Sorento EX FWD delivers a balanced blend of spirited turbocharged performance, modern connectivity, and a comprehensive suite of active safety technologies. It’s a compelling option for buyers seeking a family-friendly crossover that prioritizes useful tech, occupant protection, and an engaging yet manageable driving experience book a test drive to experience how the Sorento EX fits your daily life.
