New Kia Sorento SUVs

The 2026 Kia Sorento in Spartanburg Offers Versatility Without Compromise

The 2026 Kia Sorento has arrived at Benson Kia, bringing a bold new look and enhanced capability to the streets of Greenville and Boiling Springs. While other three row SUVs feel like driving a bus, the Sorento offers a perfectly sized footprint that handles tight parking in Anderson just as easily as it tackles weekend trips to the Blue Ridge Mountains. For 2026, Kia has refined the Sorento with sharper exterior accents, an updated X-Pro trim for off-road enthusiasts, and the latest iteration of Kia Connect technology.  

Power Your Way: Gas, Hybrid, and Plug-In Options

Whether you prioritize raw towing power or maximum fuel efficiency for your commute from Easley, the 2026 Sorento has a powertrain for you.

• 2.5L Turbocharged Engine: Delivering a robust 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, this engine is perfect for those who need a punchy drive and a 4,500 pound towing capacity.  
• Sorento Hybrid (HEV): This model pairs a 1.6L Turbo engine with an electric motor to offer an impressive EPA estimated 36 MPG combined, saving you money at the pump across the Upstate.
• Sorento Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV):  The ultimate choice for efficiency, allowing for an all electric daily commute with the peace of mind of a gas engine for longer hauls.

Trim Levels and Pricing for Every Budget

Benson Kia offers a wide range of trims to ensure you find the luxury and utility you need with many models offering affordability. 

• LX and S: The value leaders, featuring standard 12.3 inch touchscreens and comprehensive safety suites.
• EX and SX: Stepping up into premium territory with panoramic sunroofs and larger digital gauge clusters.
• X-Line and X-Pro: These rugged editions add 8.2 inches of ground clearance, high utility roof rails, and all terrain tires for those who take the path less traveled.   

2026 Kia Sorento vs. Honda Pilot

The Honda Pilot is a larger vehicle, which can make it a nightmare to maneuver through busy Greenville traffic. The Sorento offers the same three row utility in a more agile package. You also get Kia's legendary 10 year or 100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty, which far outlasts the standard 5 year or 60,000 mile coverage found on the Pilot.  

2026 Kia Sorento vs. Toyota RAV4

The Toyota RAV4 is a popular choice, but it lacks one crucial feature: a third row. Even though they are similar in price, the Sorento provides seating for up to seven passengers, giving you the flexibility that the five seat RAV4 simply cannot match. Plus, the Sorento features a standard 12.3 inch display, which is larger and more intuitive than the base screens found in the Toyota.
