New 2026 Kia Sorento PHEV in Scarborough, ON
Ultimate Flexibility
If you want the advantages of electric mobility without some of the perceived restrictions and compromises, a plug-in hybrid could be the answer. And if you want a practical, versatile, and capable three-row SUV with those advantages, the 2026 Kia Sorento PHEV should be on your list. No range anxiety, no potentially inconvenient charging routines, just practical electrification that adapts to how you actually drive. The Kia Sorento PHEV offers an element of electric-only driving for shorter commutes, with the convenience of filling up quickly with gas for longer drives.
Trim Levels
The 2026 Kia Sorento PHEV comes in three trim levels, which are the LX, EX, and range-topping SX. Standard 19-inch alloy wheels give all models considerable presence that matches their three-row size. The LX features standard LED multi-reflector headlights, fog lights, positioning lights, and heated power-adjustable mirrors with integrated signal repeaters. Roof rails, rear spoiler, and body-colored skid plate accents complete the look. The EX moves to LED projection headlights with low beam assist for improved nighttime visibility. Laminated front door glass reduces wind noise, while chrome door garnish and satin beltline trim add extra refinement. The SX brings the complete premium treatment with LED taillights, power-folding mirrors, panoramic sunroof, and rain-sensing wipers that respond automatically to changing weather. The gloss black grille and chrome skid plates create an upscale appearance that signals this plug-in hybrid's position at the very pinnacle of the 2026 Kia Sorento lineup.
Range and Performance
The 2026 Kia Sorento PHEV's propulsion system pairs a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor. The system generates a combined 268 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque. Power flows through a six-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. The 360-volt lithium-ion polymer battery pack stores enough energy for 55 kilometres of pure electric driving to cover most daily commutes without burning gasoline. The battery charges in approximately 3.8 hours using a 240-volt Level 2 charger. Once the battery depletes, the Kia Sorento PHEV operates as a conventional hybrid, achieving 6.9 L/100km combined fuel economy on gasoline alone. The combined energy consumption drops to just 2.8 Le/100km when factoring in electric operation. The system automatically chooses the most efficient power source based on battery charge, speed, and driver demand. Towing capacity ranges from 750 to 907 kilograms when properly equipped, depending on the trim level.
Features and Technology
The Kia Sorento PHEV comfortably seats six people across three rows. Base LX equipment includes cloth upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a power-adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support. The 12.3-inch multimedia interface provides navigation capability and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Standard features include a six-speaker audio system, front and rear USB charging ports, smart cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, paddle shifters, and smart key with push-button start. The EX trim upgrades to synthetic leather seating and adds a heated steering wheel, wireless phone charging, and a smart power liftgate. An electric chromic rearview mirror with HomeLink integration simplifies garage access. The SX brings genuine quilted leather upholstery, driver's memory function, power-adjustable passenger seat, and air-cooled front seats. Heated second-row seats are another example of range-topping comfort. The premium Bose audio system delivers superior sound quality, while the 12.3-inch supervision instrument cluster expands the information display. A full-display digital rearview mirror with HomeLink, suede headliner, and deluxe pedals round out the luxury appointments.
