Kia Unleashes Sorento Lease Deals this April with Low Monthly Payments
The 2026 Kia Sorento in a Nutshell
Kia made a bold move to enter the midsize SUV market with the Sorento way back in 2002. It didn't seem like it at the time, but that model would later become one of the brand's hot commodities. The Sorento started out as a rugged, body-on-frame SUV, but eventually evolved to the crossover it is today.
Now in its fourth generation, the current Sorento was introduced in 2020 for the 2021 model year. It then got a major facelift for 2024, featuring a new, Telluride-inspired look, an overhauled interior, and heaps more features. 2026 models feature additional equipment and safety updates.

For both gas and hybrid models, Kia has 24-month and 36-month lease promos for the Sorento, all with a due-at-signing price of $3,999. Starting with the 24-month leases for the gas models, the LX FWD is $329 per month, the S FWD is $369 per month, and the S AWD is $389 per month.

2026 Kia Sorento Highlights
There are eight trims available for the 2026 Sorento, while the Sorento Hybrid's range is far simpler with just two trim choices. For the gas Sorento, there's the LX, S, EX, SX, X-Line EX, X-Line SX, X-Line SX Prestige, and X-Pro Prestige SX. As for the Sorento Hybrid, it's EX and X-Line SX Prestige. Prices range from $32,390 to $47,790 for standard Sorentos and $38,890 to $47,190 for the hybrids.
Regardless of trim or powertrain, all Sorentos come with advanced driver assists, three-row seating, Kia Connect, wireless phone connectivity, and privacy glass. X-Line models get all-wheel drive standard plus special interior and exterior treatments, while the gas model-exclusive X-Pro gets a more off-road-oriented design.
For powertrain, LX and S models use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 191 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque. EX models and up benefit from a turbocharged 2.5-liter, raising power up to 281 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque.

The hybrid also starts under $40,000, and with average new-car prices breaching the $50,000 mark, the Sorento presents good value all around.
