Power and Efficiency Under the Hood
The 2026 Sorento offers two distinct powertrain options to match different driving preferences and needs. The base engine is a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder that produces 191 horsepower, delivering efficient performance ideal for daily commuting. For those seeking more power, the available 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder delivers an impressive 281 horsepower, providing confident acceleration for merging and passing on the highway.
Both engines pair with an advanced eight-speed automatic transmission that delivers smooth, refined shifts. The transmission includes multiple drive modes-Normal, Sport, Smart, Snow, Mud, and Sand-allowing drivers to optimize performance for varying conditions. Residents of Falcon will appreciate the available all-wheel drive system that provides enhanced traction and stability in challenging weather conditions.
