The 2026 Kia Sorento S Petrol is a three-row SUV that suits families wanting seven-seat practicality without stretching to a full-size vehicle, powered by a 3.5-litre petrol engine delivering 200kW and 332Nm with front-wheel drive. Its standout strength is the combination of a five-star ANCAP safety rating, seven-year warranty, and competitive fuel consumption of 6.8L/100km, making it both protective and economical for Australian family road trips and daily driving. One consideration: the 179-litre boot shrinks significantly with all seven seats in use, so buyers regularly carrying large cargo may find the space restrictive despite the versatile seating layout.

The 2026 Kia Sorento Sport is a practical seven-seat petrol SUV suited to family buyers wanting a reliable daily driver with solid warranty backing. Its standout strength is the combination of genuine towing capacity (2000kg) and competitive fuel efficiency (6.8L/100km) for a 3.5-litre engine, making it capable for weekend adventures without excessive fuel costs. One consideration is the modest 179-litre boot space, which may feel restrictive when all seven seats are occupied, so buyers with large cargo needs should test this carefully before purchase.

The 2026 Kia Sorento S Diesel is a seven-seat family SUV built around low running costs, with the 2.2-litre turbo diesel claiming 6.0L/100km combined and 158g/km on the ADR 81/02 cycle. Its strength is the 440Nm of torque through part-time AWD and an eight-speed wet dual-clutch, which makes it relaxed with a full load and rated to tow 2,000kg braked. The thing to plan around is packaging: 179 litres behind the third row is small, though folding that row opens 608 litres and dropping both rear rows gives 1,996.

The 1.6-litre turbo petrol and electric motor make a combined 169kW and 350Nm through a six-speed automatic, which is smooth around town where the hybrid system does its best work. Two things to weigh: braked towing is 1,650kg rather than the diesel's 2,000kg, and the boot is 179 litres with all seven seats up, 608 with the third row folded.

The 2026 Kia Sorento Sport Diesel is a seven-seat mid-size SUV for families who want space and cheap diesel kilometres, claiming 6.0L/100km combined and 158g/km with 2,000kg of braked towing. The 2.2-litre turbo diesel's 440Nm through part-time AWD is the reason it feels unbothered loaded up, and Kia's seven-year warranty covers it. One consideration is boot space with all seven seats in use: 179 litres is enough for a school bag or two, so plan on folding the third row (608 litres) when you are carrying luggage.

Its standout strength is the combination of a 5-star ANCAP safety rating with Kia's reassuring seven-year warranty, plus competitive running costs around $1519 annually and genuine 6.8L/100km efficiency for a vehicle of this size. The main consideration is that front-wheel drive and a 179-litre boot with all seven seats deployed may feel limiting for buyers prioritising off-road capability or cargo versatility compared to some rivals.

Its standout strength is the combination of a frugal 3.5-litre petrol engine delivering 200kW and 332Nm with claimed consumption of just 6.8L/100km, keeping annual running costs around $1519 while offering genuine 2000kg towing capacity for caravans or trailers. One consideration is the front-wheel-drive setup and 179-litre boot-adequate for most families but worth noting if you frequently carry large loads or need serious off-road capability.

Be realistic about two numbers: braked towing is 1,650kg, below the diesel's 2,000kg, and with all seven seats up the boot is 179 litres, opening to 608 with the third row folded and 1,996 with both rows down.

The 2.2-litre turbo diesel makes 148kW and 440Nm, drives all four wheels through an eight-speed wet dual-clutch and claims 6.0L/100km combined at 158g/km, which is unusually thrifty for the size. Worth knowing: this is a big, heavy car on a 2,630kg gross vehicle mass, so try it in a tight car park and with a trailer on before you commit.

Consider the packaging cost of the battery: the boot is 175 litres behind the third row against the hybrid's 179, and braked towing drops to 1,010kg.

It is a genuinely efficient way to move seven people, and the six-speed automatic keeps it calm in traffic. The main thing to keep in mind is price: it sits at the expensive end of the family SUV market, and it tows 1,650kg braked rather than the 2,000kg the diesel manages, so buyers with a heavy van should look at the 2.2-litre instead.

The headline 1.6L/100km and 37g/km are ADR 81/02 plug-in figures measured from a full battery, so treat them as a best case rather than a promise. The trade-offs are real: 175 litres of boot behind the third row, 604 with it folded, and 1,010kg of braked towing against 2,000kg for the diesel.

Charged nightly it can do most short trips on electricity, and its ADR 81/02 combined figures of 1.6L/100km and 37g/km are measured from a full battery rather than a flat one. Consider that this is a large, heavy car with a 2,700kg gross vehicle mass, that the battery under the second row cuts the behind-the-third-row boot to 175 litres, and that braked towing is 1,010kg rather than the diesel's 2,000kg.

Every MY21 Sorento is a seven-seater measuring 4,810 mm long on a 2,815 mm wheelbase, with 176 mm of ground clearance, a 67-litre tank and luggage space that runs from 187 litres with all three rows up to 2,011 litres with the second and third rows folded. Standard safety across the range includes autonomous emergency braking with car, pedestrian, cyclist and junction detection, blind spot and rear cross-traffic collision avoidance, lane keeping with lane following assist, multi-collision braking, safe exit assist, front and rear parking sensors and advanced smart cruise control. The S rides on 17-inch alloys and gets an 8-inch touchscreen, embossed cloth trim and a six-way manual driver's seat.
