What’s the Difference Between 2026 Sorento Trims?

LX (33,635)andS(36,535): Both entry trims share the naturally aspirated 2.5L four-cylinder engine producing 191 horsepower paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive. The LX covers the essentials for families who want three-row utility at a manageable price. The S steps up with added comfort and convenience features for $2,900 more. AWD is not available on either trim. Towing capacity for both is rated up to 2,000 pounds when equipped.

EX ($39,735) — the key upgrade: The EX is where the Sorento makes its most important jump. For $3,200 over the S, buyers unlock the turbocharged 2.5L engine producing 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. That is 90 more horsepower for a vehicle that now carries a full third row. AWD becomes available at this trim for buyers navigating St. Louis winters or heading south on I-55 with a full load. Edmunds picks the EX as its top value recommendation in the lineup, and it is easy to see why.

SX ($43,535): The SX adds a richer interior experience and more technology, making it the right pick for families who want premium features without stepping into X-Line pricing. This is also where the Towing Package becomes available, unlocking up to 4,500 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped.

X-Line trims (44,035–48,035, AWD standard): The X-Line adds standard all-wheel drive and Terrain Mode across its EX, SX, and SX Prestige configurations, along with gloss-black exterior accents and more aggressive styling. For St. Louis buyers who want assured traction year-round without moving to the X-Pro, the X-Line EX at $44,035 is the sharpest entry into standard AWD in the lineup.

X-Pro SX Prestige ($49,035): The top trim layers in off-road hardware, enhanced ground clearance, and the fully loaded SX Prestige cabin. For buyers who want the Sorento to cover both family duty and weekend adventure without compromise, this is the clear flagship.

Long-Term Value at Suntrup Kia South

Every 2026 Kia Sorento at Suntrup Kia South, on South Lindbergh in St. Louis, is backed by Kia’s 10-year/100,000-mile limited warranty, covering the powertrain on every gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid configuration. On a vehicle most families keep for six to eight years, that warranty coverage is a real financial advantage built into the purchase price.

Missouri’s trade-in tax benefit applies here too: buyers pay sales tax only on the difference between the new vehicle price and their trade-in value, not the full purchase amount. On a Sorento purchase, knowing your trade-in figure before you visit makes the math clearer from the start.
