<p>The safe and efficient Kia Sorento Hybrid with class-leading warranty coverage is a smart buy among hybrid family haulers.</p>


Cons

<ul>
<li>Only two trims</li>
<li>Small third row</li>
</ul>


Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

<p>The 2026 Kia Sorento Hybrid is powered by a 227-horsepower hybrid turbo 4-cylinder engine matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).</p>
<p>We’re impressed by the lively acceleration of the Sorento Hybrid, which is noticeably quicker than the non-hybrid with its base engine. We’ve found that it’s well-suited for running around town yet gets up to freeway speeds quickly enough. Even overtaking moves are carried out with hardly any effort.</p>
<p>The suspension, steering, and braking all contribute to a comfortable and competent driving experience. The Sorento Hybrid is so smooth and quiet, in fact, that we almost forgot it was a hybrid while we were testing it. The transition from electric power to the gasoline engine joining in is just seamless.</p>
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
<p>The Kia Sorento Hybrid gets up to 37 city/36 highway/37 combined mpg with front-wheel drive and 32 city/35 highway/34 combined mpg with all-wheel drive. These ratings are about the same as other hybrids in this class, like the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid and Toyota Highlander Hybrid.</p>
<p>For reference, the non-hybrid Kia Sorento returns up to 23 city/31 highway/26 combined mpg. According to <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EPA</a> estimates, the fuel savings of the hybrid versus the non-hybrid amount to approximately $45/month.</p>


Modern Exterior

Exterior

<p>We like the contemporary aesthetic of the Kia Sorento Hybrid, which looks rugged without going overboard. This year, the SX Prestige trim gets the X-Line appearance package, which adds stylish black wheels and black exterior accents.</p>


FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

<p><strong>Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto</strong><br />
Cable-free phone integration is standard in both Sorento Hybrid trims. We love the convenience and tidiness. Wireless charging is on board, as well.</p>
<p><strong>Infotainment system</strong><br />
The standard 12.3-inch display in the Sorento Hybrid is feature-rich and user-friendly. The SX Prestige takes the tech to the next level with a curved display, adding a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster.</p>
<p><strong>Smart Power Tailgate</strong><br />
Imagine walking up to your locked Sorento Hybrid, hands full of shopping, kids, accordions, whatever. Stand by the smart tailgate for three seconds (while having the key in a pocket or purse) and it will open automatically, then close with the touch of a button. It’s a standard item and, again, we’re all for making life easier.</p>
<p><strong>Smart Cruise Control</strong><br />
More than just adaptive cruise control, machine learning means it can adapt to driving styles and emulate them. We’ve found it to feel quite natural.</p>
<p><strong>Highway Driving Assist 2</strong><br />
Installed in the SX Prestige trim, this helps alleviate the fatigue of long freeway stretches by keeping the Sorento Hybrid in its lane, maintaining a safe distance to the vehicle in front, and assisting with lane-changing maneuvers. Stay alert; you still have to keep a hand on the wheel and your eyes on the road.</p>
<p><strong>Blind-Spot View Monitor</strong><br />
This SX Prestige feature shows real-time video in the driver information display, with more detail than regular blind-spot monitoring can convey. In our opinion, greater awareness of surroundings can only be a good thing.</p>


3-Row Interior

Interior

<p>We like the Sorento Hybrid’s generally pleasant cabin, with its fine materials and well-placed controls. The simulated leather seating surfaces in the EX feel sufficiently premium. The higher SX Prestige trim brings genuine perforated leather.</p>
<p>The cabin&#8217;s centerpiece is a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. The SX Prestige gains a dual 12.3-inch setup in a single curved unit, the other screen serving as a digital instrument cluster. We&#8217;ve consistently praised Kia’s infotainment system for its quality graphics, modern features, and user-friendly controls, and the Sorento Hybrid’s screen is no exception.</p>
<p>A welcome update to the 2026 Kia Sorento is the introduction of a bench second-row seat, giving the standard configuration seven seats. Second-row captain’s chairs, which make the second row more comfortable and the third row easier to access, are optional on EX and standard on SX Prestige.</p>
<p>Passenger space is generous in the first two rows, with plenty of legroom and headroom. The third row is a kids-only zone, though, with just 29.6 inches of legroom. If you plan to use the third row on a regular basis, we highly recommend looking into the larger <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/telluride/">Kia Telluride</a> or the electric <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/ev9/">Kia EV9</a>.</p>
<p>Cargo space is tight when all three rows are in place &#8212; only 12.6 cubic feet behind the rearmost seats. This opens out to 38.5 cubic feet behind row two when they’re folded. With rows two and three down, there’s an ample 75.5 cubic feet. We should point out that the Toyota Highlander Hybrid is more capacious in all three respects. At least these dimensions are the same as the non-hybrid Sorento, so there’s no compromise here in choosing this more fuel-efficient model.</p>

KBB Editors' Overview

<p>Hybrid powertrains are becoming increasingly popular options in midsize SUVs, and one that’s been around for a while now is the Kia Sorento Hybrid. Still fresh from a makeover in 2025, the 2026 model gets even better, with an increased seating capacity of up to seven. Meanwhile, it gets the basics right, like good fuel economy (up to 37 mpg), class-leading warranty coverage, and great safety ratings that families demand. There are also <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sorento/">non-hybrid</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sorento-plug-in-hybrid/">plug-in hybrid</a> versions of the Kia Sorento, which we review separately.</p>

Engine and Transmission

Under the Hood

<p>The 2026 Kia Sorento Hybrid employs a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine and two electric motors to create a total of 227 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This goes through a 6-speed automatic transmission to either the front wheels — the standard configuration in the EX — or all four, which is optional with the EX or standard in the top SX Prestige trim.</p>
<h3>5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
<p>Kia has some of the best warranties. Bumper-to-bumper coverage is five years or 60,000 miles, whichever happens first — this includes roadside assistance. Powertrains are covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles.</p>
<h3>Safety</h3>
<p>The Kia Sorento has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>), the agency’s second-highest accolade. It also scored the top 5-Star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). Standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian/cyclist detection, plus junction turning assistance.</p>


What's new for

<p>The 2026 Kia Sorento Hybrid has a redesigned steering wheel and a newly standard second-row bench seat. That means it can now seat up to seven people. A 6-seat setup with second-row captain’s chairs is still optional.</p>
<p>Another update is the X-Line appearance package with black wheels and blacked-out exterior trim on the top SX Prestige trim. Also, all-wheel-drive-equipped models now come with a Terrain drive mode.</p>

<p>The Volkswagen Jetta brings German sophistication and driving manners to the affordable compact sedan class.</p>


<ul>
<li>No hybrid option</li>
<li>Poor resale value</li>
</ul>


<p>The 2026 Volkswagen Jetta is powered by a 158-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD). All-wheel drive (AWD) and hybrid powertrains are increasingly popular options in this class, but the Jetta is still front-wheel-drive-only with no hybrid option.</p>
<p>Thanks to ample torque at low rpm, the Jetta is noticeably quicker than most contemporaries, capable of dashing to 60 mph in about seven seconds. Once in motion, you’ll find the Jetta’s European roots make it one of the most enjoyable compacts in the class, bolstered by taut steering, adept cornering, and strong brakes. As a driver’s car, the Jetta checks all the right boxes, delivering a firm yet comfortable ride around town or the occasional trip further afield.</p>
<p>The value proposition of the Jetta has always been German driving dynamics at a more attainable price point than a luxury car, and this humble yet fun VW continues to uphold that reputation.</p>
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
<p>The Volkswagen Jetta returns 29 city/40 highway/33 combined mpg, which is good for a non-hybrid. However, if low fuel costs are a high priority, the hybrid options of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/civic-hybrid/">Honda Civic</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/corolla-hybrid/">Toyota Corolla</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/elantra-hybrid/">Hyundai Elantra</a> are more frugal.</p>


Subtle Exterior

<p>The Volkswagen Jetta has never been known for radical or daring style, and this remains the case with the 2026 model. Last year’s refresh helped to keep it fresh, but it retains a subtle and restrained style that we appreciate.</p>


<p><strong>Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto</strong><br />
A new perk for 2026 is standard wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay on every trim of the Jetta. This makes it effortless to connect your phone to the screen in the car.</p>
<p><strong>15-watt wireless charging</strong><br />
The Jetta used to have a 5-watt wireless charging pad, but it’s been upgraded to 15 watts for faster charging speeds without needing to plug in.</p>
<p><strong>Digital Cockpit</strong><br />
The lower four trims have an 8-inch instrument cluster, while the SEL model has a customizable 10.25-inch setup. From our perspective, both add the feeling of driving a more expensive sedan.</p>
<p><strong>IQ.Drive</strong><br />
This system includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assistance, emergency stop assistance (automatic transmission only), and adaptive cruise control.</p>
<p><strong>Climatronic</strong><br />
This is Volkswagen’s fancy name for dual-zone automatic climate control. It comes standard in every Jetta, which isn’t always the case for compact cars at this price point.</p>
<p><strong>Volkswagen Premium Audio</strong><br />
The available Volkswagen Premium Audio upgrade features eight speakers and is a significant upgrade over the standard four-speaker system. This rich sound system is standard on the SEL trim.</p>


Sophisticated Interior

<p>A distinctly European flavor distinguishes the Volkswagen Jetta from the competition. Its driver-focused cabin has supportive front seats, an 8-inch display angled toward the driver, and ergonomically friendly controls. However, we could do with more physical buttons, knobs, and switches rather than the sometimes-frustrating haptic controls for the HVAC. At least it has a volume knob, which not all VW models do.</p>
<p>Interior space is generous for a compact car. Rear passengers won’t complain; they have 37.4 inches of legroom, which is on the better side of this class. As for cargo space, the Jetta&#8217;s 14.1-cubic-foot trunk is on par with the segment.</p>


<p>The pleasure of driving a European automobile is often associated with pricey luxury cars, but the Volkswagen Jetta remains a delightfully accessible ticket into the world of German cars. The Jetta is priced competitively with the hot sellers in this class, but brings an air of class to the smartly designed and high-tech interior. Although its performance specs are par for the course on paper, its taut handling and lively acceleration make it a little more rewarding to drive than the average compact sedan. For a true sport sedan, consider the more muscular Jetta GLI, which we <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volkswagen/jetta-gli/">review separately</a>.</p>
<p><em>We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-compact-cars/">compact cars</a>, including the Volkswagen Jetta.</em></p>


<p>The 2026 Volkswagen Jetta starts at $25,270. The top SEL trim kicks off at $31,270.</p>

<p>The pricing of the 2026 Volkswagen Jetta is about average for a compact sedan. It’s priced similarly to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/civic/">Honda Civic</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/mazda3/">Mazda3</a>, while a couple of options in this class with lower starting prices include the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/corolla/">Toyota Corolla</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/elantra/">Hyundai Elantra</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/k4/">Kia K4</a>.</p>
<p>Before buying a Jetta, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Volkswagen Jetta resale value is at the bottom of its segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.</p>


<ul>
<li>Fun to drive</li>
<li>Roomy interior</li>
<li>Good on gas</li>
</ul>


<ul>
<li>Standard wireless App-Connect</li>
<li>Sunroof on SE trim</li>
<li>Premium audio on SEL trim</li>
</ul>


<p>The 2026 Jetta’s standard engine is a turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder unit making 158 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. An 8-speed automatic routes power to the front wheels. Although these numbers are about average for an affordable compact, the Jetta is pretty torquey low in the rev range, making it more fun to drive than its modest specs imply.</p>
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
<p>Volkswagen’s basic and powertrain warranties last four years or 50,000 miles. That’s better than the typical 3-year/36,000-mile new-vehicle warranty but not as good as the more common 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain coverage. VW includes roadside assistance for three years or 36,000 miles, plus free scheduled maintenance for the first two years or 20,000 miles.</p>
<h3>Safety</h3>
<p>In crash testing conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>), the Jetta scored a maximum 5-Star overall rating. The independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) attained similar results, awarding the Jetta the top mark of &#8220;Good&#8221; in the small overlap front crash test and &#8220;Acceptable&#8221; in the side crash test.</p>


<p>Following a refresh for 2025, Volkswagen is a little more generous with standard features in the 2026 Jetta. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are now standard on every trim, the SE model gets a standard sunroof, and the SEL trim has a standard 8-speaker premium audio system.</p>

<p>The 2026 Lexus NX remains a strong contender among compact luxury SUVs, blending comfort, efficiency, and Lexus’s hallmark reliability.</p>


<ul>
<li>Middling cargo and second-row space</li>
</ul>


<p>The NX is calm and composed, a welcome refuge from traffic chaos. If we were looking for a luxury compact SUV for long trips and stress-free commutes, the NX would be on our shortlist. We’d still like a bit more sound insulation, though.</p>
<p>The NX 350 and NX 350h are the most popular grade choices. The hybrid (NX 350h) makes 240 horsepower, while the NX 350 delivers 275 hp. For reference, the Genesis GV70 2.5T has 300 hp. The NX 350 hits 60 mph in 6.6 seconds, while the NX 350h takes 7.2. Neither is thrilling, but both feel quick enough in real-world driving.</p>
<p>The NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid is the powerhouse of the lineup, with 302 hp and the ability to cover most daily errands on electricity alone. If you live in hilly terrain, you’ll appreciate the extra muscle, and you won’t miss the discontinued NX 250’s modest 203 hp.
