What does a 2026 Kia Sorento cost, and what does each trim add?

Kia’s own 2026 figures put the gas Sorento at eight trims, from $32,390 for the LX to $47,790 for the X-Pro SX Prestige AWD. We sell new Sorento models in Bowie, so you can compare the trims in person before you choose.

The LX and S sit at the bottom of the list, and the EX and SX sit in the middle. The four highest-priced trims are all-wheel drive by name: the X-Line EX AWD, X-Line SX AWD, X-Line SX Prestige AWD and X-Pro SX Prestige AWD.

How do the Sorento LX, EX, X-Line and X-Pro differ?

Towing is the clearest line between the Sorento trims in Kia’s figures. The LX, S and SX are rated at 2,000 pounds, the EX and the X-Line trims at 3,500 pounds, and the X-Pro SX Prestige AWD at 4,500 pounds.

A buyer who tows a trailer under 2,000 pounds can choose among the LX, S and SX. A buyer with heavier loads should look at the EX and X-Line trims, and the X-Pro carries the highest rating on the list.

What do the Sorento Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid cost?

We sell Sorento Hybrid and Sorento Plug-in Hybrid models as new inventory. Kia publishes the hybrid efficiency figures below.

The certified efficiency figures for the hybrids are:

Hybrid AWD: 32 city, 35 highway and 34 combined mpg.

Hybrid FWD: 37 city, 36 highway and 37 combined mpg.

Plug-in Hybrid AWD: 33 city, 34 highway and 33 combined mpg, with 30 electric miles and 440 total miles of range.

Those hybrid combined ratings sit above the gas Sorento’s 25 combined mpg with all-wheel drive and 26 with front-wheel drive. A plug-in costs more to register in Maryland. The state adds a $100 annual registration surcharge for plug-in hybrid vehicles, starting with registrations that expired in January 2025 (Maryland Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Administration, MVA Fee Listing, 2025).

Should a Bowie buyer pick Sorento front-wheel or all-wheel drive?

The drivetrain choice trades a little fuel economy for all-wheel grip, and Maryland winters are a reason to weigh that grip. Kia’s certified ratings put the gas Sorento at 26 combined mpg with front-wheel drive and 25 with all-wheel drive.

FEMA’s OpenFEMA Disaster Declarations Summaries (2026) record emergency declaration EM-3634-MD for a severe winter storm that ran January 23 to 27, 2026, with Prince George’s County among the Maryland jurisdictions approved for Public Assistance.

All-wheel drive also carries the top of the towing range. The X-Line and X-Pro trims with all-wheel drive tow 3,500 to 4,500 pounds, against 2,000 pounds for the LX, S and SX.
