2-Line Blurb

140-Character Blurb

The Nissan Murano is a safe and comfortable midsize SUV that can be more luxurious than you might expect.

Cons

<ul>
<li>Unrefined powertrain</li>
<li>Rivals are roomier</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

The 2026 Nissan Murano is powered by a 241-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine matched with a 9-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive (AWD).
This powertrain is similar to the one in the bigger and more expensive <a href="https://www.kbb.com/infiniti/qx60/">Infiniti QX60</a>. It’s one of Nissan’s VC-Turbo engines, capable of changing the engine’s compression ratio based on the driver’s inputs. It’s more responsive in spirited driving and more efficient in relaxed highway driving. However, we found it a little noisy when accelerating from a standstill, making us miss the grunt of the V6 that powered all previous Murano generations.
Speaking of relaxed, that’s how we’d sum up the Murano’s driving experience. Comfort has always been the Murano’s calling card, and that hasn’t changed with this generation. The ride is smooth and comfortable, the weight of the steering is just right, and it’s just plain easy to drive.
We were puzzled when the 2025 Murano came out without the ProPILOT 2.1 hands-free driving system on the options list, so we&#8217;re glad it’s now available in the Platinum trim of the 2026 model. This allows for hands-off-the-wheel, eyes-on-the-road driving on certain highways, enhancing the serene driving experience of the Murano.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The Nissan Murano is rated at 21 city/27 highway/23 combined mpg, which is about average for this class. If you&#8217;re looking for something more efficient in this class, consider the plug-in hybrid versions of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/grand-cherokee-4xe/">Jeep Grand Cherokee</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-70-phev/">Mazda CX-70</a> or the hybrid-only <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/crown-signia/">Toyota Crown Signia</a>.

Sleek Exterior

Exterior

The Nissan Murano’s design doesn’t look quite like anything else in its class, and we love the optional black contrast roof available with five paint options. In an era when everything is getting boxier to chase a rugged aesthetic, we can appreciate the characterful curvy lines in the Murano’s design.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Zero Gravity seats 
These supremely comfortable seats were engineered to reduce fatigue on long drives. They’re standard in front and back, which your passengers will appreciate.
ProPILOT Assist 
The standard Nissan ProPILOT Assist system makes highway driving safer and more relaxed with features like adaptive cruise control, steering assist, and lane centering. The ProPILOT 2.1 system available with the Platinum trim even lets you take your hands off the wheel on certain highways.
VC-Turbo engine 
The VC-Turbo engine has class-exclusive variable compression engineering, which finds the right balance of power and efficiency based on the driver’s inputs.
Dual 12.3-inch displays 
These big displays come standard, contributing to a high-tech feel inside the Murano’s upscale interior. They’re user-friendly and come with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for seamless integration with your phone.
Panoramic sunroof 
The SL and Platinum trims have a huge panoramic sunroof, creating an open and airy feel in the premium cabin. We love how it makes sunlight reflect on the “Murano glass” trim on the dash and door panels.
Luxurious Platinum trim 
The top Platinum model does a seriously impressive impression of a pricier luxury SUV. Just a few features include semi-aniline quilted leather upholstery; heated, cooled, and massaging front seats; a Bose audio system; 21-inch wheels; and a head-up display.

Premium Interior

Interior

The interior is a strong suit of the 2026 Nissan Murano. The design is lovely, and the materials are nice, especially in the top Platinum trim we tested with its semi-aniline leather upholstery and massaging front seats. We’re especially fond of the Twilight Blue interior color and “Murano glass” trim.
We found climbing into the Nissan Murano’s driver’s seat to be about as easy as getting into a recliner. It’s a nice height for easy ingress and egress. Once inside, we appreciated the Zero Gravity seats, which are present in front and the outboard rear seats. These were carefully engineered to maximize comfort and reduce fatigue on long drives. We can confirm that they’re really that comfortable; we were in no hurry to get out of the Murano when we tested it.
The tech inside the Nissan Murano was thoroughly updated with its 2025 redesign. Dual 12.3-inch displays come standard: a digital gauge cluster and center infotainment screen housed in one big rectangle. It has smartphone connectivity tech like wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and we’re grateful that Google Maps now powers the onboard navigation system.
The rear seats are plenty comfortable for average-sized adults, but most rivals have more legroom in the back. The Murano has 36.3 inches of rear legroom, which is less than almost all of its direct rivals. It&#8217;s a similar story with cargo space; enough for most folks in the market for an SUV like this, but less than some roomier midsize 2-row SUVs, like the Mazda CX-70 and VW Atlas Cross Sport.

KBB Editors' Overview

The Nissan Murano is a midsize SUV for drivers who prioritize comfort and safety over off-road ruggedness or tire-smoking performance. This is evident in its comfortable seats, modern tech features, and easygoing ride quality that make it remind us of a pricier luxury SUV. The Murano gets some nice improvements for 2026, like standard all-wheel drive (AWD) and an optional hands-free highway driving feature. Another feather in this Nissan’s cap is top-notch safety scores, bolstering its credentials as a family hauler.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-mid-size-suvs/">midsize SUVs</a>, including the Nissan Murano.

Pricing - Static

The starting price of the Nissan Murano is on the higher side of its class because it’s so well-equipped at the base level. The Murano is priced close to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-70/">Mazda CX-70</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/passport/">Honda Passport</a>, while options in this class with lower starting prices include the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/blazer/">Chevy Blazer</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/grand-cherokee/">Jeep Grand Cherokee</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volkswagen/atlas-cross-sport/">Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport</a>.
Before buying a Murano, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Nissan Murano resale value is below average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Engine and Transmission

Under the Hood

Power for the 2026 Nissan Murano comes from a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. It’s rated at 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. That’s a little less power and a little more torque than the V6 in the previous generation. The 2026 Nissan Murano can tow 1,500 pounds, which is low for this class. The Honda Passport and VW Atlas Cross Sport can pull 5,000 pounds, while the Jeep Grand Cherokee can lug 6,200 pounds.
This VC-Turbo engine has variable compression engineering, but one of its chief rivals, the Mazda CX-70, is both more powerful and more efficient without needing to change its compression ratio.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Standard for this class, Nissan provides the Murano with limited bumper-to-bumper coverage for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The powertrain limited warranty extends to five years or 60,000 miles. Nissan also provides free 24/7 roadside assistance for the duration of the bumper-to-bumper warranty.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The Nissan Murano earned the coveted Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>). It also gets the top 5-Star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). These safety ratings are as close to perfect as a car can get.

What's new for

A redesigned Nissan Murano just came out for 2025, and the 2026 model already gets some welcome improvements. For starters, all-wheel drive is now standard on every model. Also, it picks up the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 option, which allows for hands-free driving on highways mapped by Nissan. There’s also a new SL Comfort Package that adds ventilated and massaging front seats, heated rear seats, and a hands-free power liftgate to the mid-range SL trim.

2026Chevrolet Blazer

2026Chevrolet Blazer Archives - Kelley Blue Book

$33,500 - $38,499

$33,500 - $38,499 Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2026 Chevrolet Blazer is a 2-row midsize SUV with a sporty edge, responsive handling, and two engine options.

<ul>
<li>Some cost-cutting cabin materials</li>
<li>Cargo space lacking</li>
</ul>

The Blazer’s core powertrain is a 228-hp turbocharged 4-cylinder paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard, and all-wheel drive (AWD) is available on every trim.
The turbocharged 4-cylinder suits the Blazer’s weight, delivering a zero-to-60-mph time just over six seconds and plenty of passing power.
Steering feels well weighted, and while no midsize SUV is a sports car, the Blazer corners with more confidence than most, and the braking inspires trust. The suspension strikes a sweet balance, being soft enough for comfort, yet firm enough to stay composed in quick corners.
The Blazer’s cabin is quiet, though not quite luxury-vehicle quiet, thanks to active noise cancellation, which does an admirable job on wind and road noise.
The available V6 is an option only with the RS trim. It transforms the Blazer from sporty to genuinely quick. The bigger engine is certainly a worthy upgrade for some, but most buyers will be happy with the 4-cylinder.
Fuel Economy
EPA ratings for front-wheel-drive, 4-cylinder Blazers: 22 mpg city/29 highway/25 combined. All-wheel drive drops those figures to 22/27/24.
The V6 reduces efficiency, but not too much: front-wheel drive gets 19/26/22, and all-wheel drive nets 18/26/21.

Muscular Exterior

Chevy borrowed from the sporty and aggressive Camaro design language for the Blazer’s exterior look. While rivals chase rugged, boxy styling, the Blazer remains the sportiest-looking midsize two-row SUV at non-luxury prices.

10.2-inch infotainment system 
Average size these days, but Chevy’s interface is intuitive. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard.
Standard remote start 
Every Blazer trim includes it — rare in this segment and a lifesaver in cold climates.
Chevy Safety Assist 
Standard suite includes automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, following distance indicator, and auto high beams. Options add adaptive cruise, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
Two engine options 
Few rivals offer a choice. A V6 is starting to become a rarity in this segment, and we appreciate that there&#8217;s still one available in the Blazer.
Sporty RS trim 
The Blazer’s bold look gets backup from an optional 308-hp V6, blacked-out emblems, unique wheels, and black leather with red accents.
Midnight Edition 
The Midnight Edition adds black trim and wheels, bringing a darker aesthetic to the stylish Chevy Blazer.

Comfortable Interior

Most trims feature a traditional gauge cluster, but the RS adds a digital display. A 10.2-inch touchscreen sits high on the dash for infotainment, with separate climate controls below — no hunting through menus to change the temp.
Many new models merge multiple screens into one wide panel, but we like Chevy’s split setup. It keeps everything visible and easy to reach, and your hands don’t block your view of important information.
Chevy may have retired the Camaro, but its design DNA lives on here. Turbine-style vents add flair, and RS trims tint them to match interior accents.
Rear-seat space beats the Chevy Equinox, with standout legroom. Sunroof-equipped models offer better headroom than many rivals, which is handy if you’re hauling adults or taller teens often.
Our main gripe? Cargo space. At 30.5 cu ft behind the second row, the Blazer ranks near the bottom of its class. Fold the seats and there’s plenty of space, but most competitors offer more room with seats up.

In a class where most designs blur together, the Blazer stands out. Its lines borrow heavily from Chevy’s sports cars, and though this look debuted in 2019, it still feels fresh — especially as rivals chase boxy, off-road vibes. Inside, you’ll find an intuitive infotainment system, and if you want more muscle, there’s an optional V6.
Cargo space? That’s where the Blazer comes up short. A Honda Passport or even a Toyota RAV4 will haul more. But passenger space in both rows is generous.
The midsize 2-row SUV field is crowded with solid choices, but the Blazer is among the most stylish options.
Chevy also offers an all-electric Blazer EV, which <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/blazer-ev/">we review separately</a>.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours behind the wheel of this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-mid-size-suvs/">midsize SUVs</a>, including the Blazer.

The Blazer starts at $36,095, a $1,000 discount from last year’s base model, with the RS trim beginning at $45,395.

The base 2LT is the best-selling trim, and it comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control with rear vents, and heated front seats, plenty of tech and comfort for most buyers. If you’re looking for leather seating, that’s reserved for the RS, which has an optional V6.
The Blazer sits toward the lower end of segment pricing, with rivals often costing thousands more.
Before you buy a new midsize SUV, check Kelley Blue Book’s Fair Purchase Price. The Blazer’s resale value is below average. The Honda Passport, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Toyota 4Runner hold value better, and that matters when it’s time to trade in.

<ul>
<li>Attractive style</li>
<li>Available V6</li>
<li>Easy-to-use infotainment</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Premier trim line dropped</li>
<li>V6 is exclusively optional in the RS trim</li>
</ul>

Chevrolet gives Blazer buyers two engine choices, both paired with a 9-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available with either engine.
The 228-hp turbocharged 4-cylinder is the volume seller and the right pick for most. It delivers easy cruising and solid fuel economy without breaking a sweat.
Want more punch? The 308-hp V6 is your ticket. It costs more and sips a bit more fuel, so it’s best for those who value speed enough to accept the tradeoffs.
<h3>3-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Chevy’s coverage is typical for a mainstream brand. The bumper-to-bumper warranty runs three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. The powertrain gets five years or 60,000 miles. Scheduled maintenance is covered for the first year, but don’t weigh that heavily, as modern cars need little service early on, so the savings are minimal.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>) gave the 2025 Blazer its top overall score of 5 Stars, and the 2026 model is essentially identical, so it should also fare well. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/">IIHS</a>) hasn’t fully tested the latest models yet, but the mechanically identical 2024 earned “Good” marks.

The Chevy Blazer drops the Premier trim level for 2026. Also, the turbo 4-cylinder engine is now standard on every trim. The available V6 is now exclusively optional in the RS trim, where it used to be standard.

$53,500 - $63,499 Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The Kia Sorento PHEV is a safe and practical 3-row family SUV that can travel up to 31 miles on electricity alone.

<ul>
<li>Fuel cost estimates similar to standard hybrid Sorento</li>
</ul>

The Kia Sorento PHEV is propelled by a 261-horsepower plug-in hybrid setup employing a 6-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive (AWD). Although it has a bit more muscle than the regular Sorento Hybrid (34 more horses, 12 more lb-ft of torque), acceleration is similar due to the weight of the larger battery.
Even so, zipping from a standstill to 60 mph in about 8.6 seconds is quick enough for confident highway merging and passing. In our experience, it feels lively from behind the wheel. Should potential buyers think they need more thrust, the Mazda CX-90 PHEV develops 323 hp and hits 60 mph at least two seconds sooner.
In electric driving, the Sorento PHEV accelerates smoothly and quietly. In hybrid mode, power delivery and braking feel aren’t quite as steady and seamless as we’ve experienced in the 2-row <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/rav4-plug-in-hybrid/">Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid</a>, but that’s a high bar. Overall, we’ve found the Sorento PHEV responsive around town and comfortable on the highway.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The Sorento PHEV can run for 31 miles using just electricity. When the battery is depleted, it achieves 33 mpg in combined city/highway driving. That’s pretty good, but the regular Sorento Hybrid, which doesn’t plug in, gets 37 combined mpg with front-wheel drive (FWD) and 34 combined mpg with all-wheel drive.
Whether the Sorento PHEV brings significant fuel savings compared to the Sorento Hybrid depends on how often you use the gas engine. According to EPA estimates, the PHEV only saves you about $20/month compared to the conventional all-wheel-drive hybrid, but your fuel costs can vary greatly with driving habits and the costs of energy and gas in your area.
Another thing to consider is the total range, if that’s important to you. With a full battery and a full tank of gas, the Sorento PHEV goes 440 miles, while the Sorento Hybrid traverses 637 miles with a full gas tank.

Modern Exterior

We like the contemporary aesthetic of the Kia Sorento PHEV, 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.

Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto 
Cable-free phone integration is standard in both Sorento PHEV trims, and we love the convenience and tidiness of this feature. Wireless charging is also on board.
Infotainment system 
The standard 12.3-inch display in the Sorento PHEV 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.
Smart Power Tailgate 
Imagine walking up to your locked Sorento PHEV, 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.
Smart Cruise Control 
More than adaptive cruise control, machine learning means it can adapt to and emulate driving styles. We’ve found it to feel quite natural.
Highway Driving Assist 2 
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.
Blind-Spot View Monitor 
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.

3-Row Interior

We like the Sorento PHEV’s generally pleasant cabin, with its fine materials and well-placed controls. The simulated leather seating surfaces in the EX feel sufficiently premium, while the higher SX Prestige trim offers genuine leather.
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 PHEV&#8217;s screen is no exception.
As with the standard Sorento Hybrid, this year the Sorento PHEV offers a bench seat in the second row, which means total seating for up to seven people. Second-row captain’s chairs are now optional on the EX trim and remain standard in the SX Premium. This setup reduces total seating capacity to six, but captain&#8217;s chairs are more comfortable than a 3-across bench seat, and they make the third row easier to access.
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>.
Cargo space is tight when all three rows are in place, 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. This cargo volume is very similar to that of the Mazda CX-90 PHEV.

The Kia Sorento is one of the few SUVs from a mass-market brand that’s available with a regular gas engine, a conventional hybrid powertrain, or a plug-in hybrid arrangement. When there&#8217;s juice in the battery, the Sorento PHEV has the highest efficiency rating of the bunch. It’s capable of traveling up to 31 miles on electricity alone, making it great for anyone who can benefit from 3-row seating but doesn’t travel very far very often. When those longer trips do come up, this SUV is still impressively efficient and comfortable. We review the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sorento/">non-hybrid</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sorento-hybrid/">conventional hybrid</a> Sorento variants separately.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/phev/best-phev-suvs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PHEV SUVs</a>, including the Kia Sorento PHEV.

The 2026 Kia Sorento PHEV starts at $49,735 for the base EX trim. The upper X-Line SX Prestige model begins at $54,935.

Kia Sorento PHEV pricing is close to what might be its closest competitor: the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-90-phev/">Mazda CX-90 PHEV</a>. A more affordable option is the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mitsubishi/outlander-phev/">Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV</a>.
Before buying a Sorento PHEV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Kia Sorento PHEV resale value is about average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

The 2026 Sorento PHEV employs a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine and two electric motors to create an ample 261 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. This thrust goes through a 6-speed automatic transmission to a standard all-wheel-drive system.
<h3>5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Kia has some of the best warranties. Bumper-to-bumper coverage is five years or 60,000 miles, whichever happens first, including roadside assistance. Powertrains are covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) has named the Kia Sorento a Top Safety Pick, the agency’s second-highest accolade. Standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, pedestrian/cyclist detection, and junction turning assistance.

The 2026 Kia Sorento PHEV adds the X-Line appearance package with black wheels and blacked-out exterior trim on the top SX Prestige trim. Also, all all-wheel-drive-equipped models of both the HEV and PHEV now come with a Terrain drive mode. Another update is a standard charging cable that works for both Level 1 and Level 2 charging.

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

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

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).
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.
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.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
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.
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.

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.

Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto 
Cable-free phone integration is standard in both Sorento Hybrid trims. We love the convenience and tidiness. Wireless charging is on board, as well.
Infotainment system 
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.
Smart Power Tailgate 
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.
Smart Cruise Control 
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.
Highway Driving Assist 2 
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.
Blind-Spot View Monitor 
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.

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.
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.
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.
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>.
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.
