The 2026 Kia Sorento PHEV is a plug-in hybrid SUV that feels right at home in Ontario. It is made for everyday life and longer family trips. Whether you are driving around Milton, heading up to Blue Mountain, or going out to the cottage, this SUV delivers the right balance of power and efficiency. Many Ontario drivers want a vehicle that handles winter roads while still saving on fuel costs, and the Sorento PHEV does just that in a simple, practical way.
The Sorento PHEV uses a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine paired with an electric motor and a six-speed automatic transmission. Together, they deliver around 268 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque, giving you confident highway merging and easy passing power. The electric motor allows the Sorento PHEV to travel about 55 km on electric power alone, which can cover many daily errands without using gasoline.
When running in hybrid mode, fuel consumption is approximately 2.8 Le/100 km combined, while gasoline-only driving averages about 6.9 L/100 km. This helps reduce fuel costs for school drop-offs, commuting, and city driving. Towing capacity reaches up to 2,000 lbs, making it easy to bring along small trailers or utility gear. Standard all-wheel drive adds confidence on wet and snowy Ontario roads.
Inside, the 2026 Sorento PHEV seats six passengers comfortably with second-row captain’s chairs that make entry and exit easier and long trips more relaxed. With all three rows in place, there is about 357 litres of cargo space for groceries or luggage. Folding the third row expands space to between 1,090 and 1,274 litres, and folding both rear rows opens up to 2,139 litres for larger items like camping gear, sports equipment, or furniture.
The Sorento PHEV features a modern and user-friendly cabin. A 12.3-inch touchscreen supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making smartphone integration seamless. Available wireless charging keeps devices powered without cables, while Bluetooth connectivity ensures clear calls and audio streaming. Depending on the trim, premium audio options enhance sound quality throughout the cabin.
Heated front seats are standard, with available heated second-row seats and a heated steering wheel for added winter comfort. Everyday conveniences like keyless entry, push-button start, fog lights, and power windows and locks make driving and ownership simple and stress-free.
Safety technology in the Sorento PHEV works quietly in the background to support confident driving. Standard and available features include forward collision assist, lane keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Higher trims may also include a surround view camera and front and rear parking distance warning, making parking easier and safer in busy areas.
