If you like what you see, come view one of our available models during our hours of operation!
Technology
A few changes to the vehicle’s tech features are bound to make your travels a bit easier. One of them is the inclusion of the USB ports in the second row, bringing the total number of charging slots up to six throughout the car. At the same time, the Kia Sorento S also benefits from the inclusion of a wireless charging pad1, letting you restore the battery life of your smartphone if you forgot your cable at work. This trim level of the car provides a 12.3-inch touchscreen display2 for handling your access to the radio, interfacing with cabin settings, and showing your navigation directions. As you head out of town on I-35, you can count on finding many avenues for entertainment, including SiriusXM® Satellite Radio3 or using apps from your mobile device via the Apple CarPlay®3 or Android Auto™4 compatibility.
Engineering
The 2026 Kia Sorento S uses the same engine as the entry-level trim, a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine capable of making up to 191 horsepower and 181 lb.-ft. of torque. It channels the energy produced through an 8-speed automatic transmission, sending it to either two or four wheels, depending on the drivetrain. The Sorento S can be configured in either an FWD or AWD format, providing a degree of customization for drivers. You can preserve your bank account a bit more with the FWD because it gives you an EPA-estimated 23/31/26 MPG city/hwy/combined5 fuel efficiency rating. That will cut down on the number of times you need to stop throughout the week, allowing you to continue to finish your errands or take a relaxing journey to Warbler Woods Bird Sanctuary. If you plan on going out into wilder areas, you may want the AWD because it adds a Terrain setting to the Smart, Eco, Sport, and Comfort drive modes.
Cabin
Some significant interior upgrades come to those who buy this trim, including the change to SynTex seat upholstery that comes in either black or gray. The driver will also discover a comfortable 10-way power-adjustable chair waiting to support them while they travel, letting them customize the way their body rests. It even comes with 2-way lumbar support and includes a heating element6 to help relax away your aches from spending a long time behind the wheel. Add the optional panoramic sunroof with a power sunshade if you’re interested in letting daylight shine into the seating area, improving the overall ambience for your guests. Consult our Finance Department to see how you can purchase the athletic and capable 2026 Kia Sorento S!

“ Yesterday, June 29; 2018; my mother took in her car to get serviced at Mazda KIA North 12115 IH 35 North in San Antonio. The service we received was amazing, but this is not the reason I am writing. The young lady that helped us is the reason I am writing. Unfortunately we did not get her name but the way she treated us was, for lack of finding the just words....Angelic!!! She made us feel so welcome, at ease and as a part of a family. This meant the world to me because I value and treasure my family. As as a school teacher, my time is very consumed with tasks all year round and I often worry about my elderly mother & brother. She is on a fixed income (Social Security Check) & my brother is a recent cancer survivor. If this was not enough, we recently had a death in the family, so you can say we were having a rough week. The young lady was very caring and very helpful. We just wanted to let Management know about the magnificent job this young lady is doing. Please let her and her supervisors know about the great job she is doing. ”

“ I purchased my Kia from another dealership out of state. I was having issues with my A/C and tried to get them to check it out. Called on the phone explaining the issues. They asked me to bring the car in. They checked it and said it would be about 4 hours. They supplied a shuttle to my work and even provided a shuttle 4 hours later from my job back to pick my vehicle up! They fixed everything free of cost!!! I cant truly say how happy i was with the entire experience and service provided. If they happen to read this, huge shout out to Ms. Jonny with the service department, you were extremely courteous and helpful. ”

“ We had a great experience a WC Kia. We came in with our eyes on the Sorrento and a goal in mind on our monthly payment. Our salesman, TC, found us exactly what we were looking for. He even gave us a call a few weeks later to check up on us to see how we were doing with our new ride. Thanks TC, when we finally move on to the minivan we will give you a call. ”

“ For starters, I was a first time car buyer, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Tony was extremely patient and helpful, and I never felt like I was getting the 'run around'. I intended to purchase a used mazda, but at the end of the day I ended up with a brand new Kia! (That was my choice, no pressuring from Tony at all) Tony spent time looking for used cars within my price range, honestly trying to find something that would work. Kia wasn't on my radar, but when my Dad brought it up, and we started talking about it, Tony was able to assist us with that purchase, even taking us over to the Kia office (Really in the same parking lot) to finish. All in all, I have no regrets, and I happily recommend you go talk to Tony if you're looking to purchase a car. ”

“ I hope this message gets to the right place. I would like to tell you about my experience with your service department. I received a letter from Kia USA about an update to my 2015 Kia. I decided to take it to your dealership because its near my home. Walking into the service department I was greeted by one of your associates and immediately felt great about stopping in. My service advisor was Lindsey Lewis. I can't say enough about her professionalism and manner. She really is a gem and I hope you appreciate her. If all your associates conduct themselves like her you are going to be very successful. Let me assure you that by this one person going above and beyond all my future car purchases will be with your location. I would like to thank you again and please tell Lindsey she made my day much brighter. Lauren R. ”
