The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.
EXPERT REVIEW · THREE-ROW SUV
2026 Kia Sorento review
Kia Sorento: the family hauler that doesn't feel like one. Illustrative review
8.7/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Kia Sorento sits near the top of its class. Ride stays composed on rough pavement; roomy second row and flexible cargo floor. Third row (where offered) is for kids and touch-only climate controls on some trims, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $33,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.
The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.
