For families in Batesville, AR, it offers the flexibility to handle school runs, weekend plans, and longer journeys with equal ease.

A Spacious Interior That Puts Families First
Step inside the 2026 Kia Sorento and the focus on people is immediately clear. Three rows of seating accommodate up to 7 passengers, with a layout that makes daily life easier—especially for families with children. The second row is shaped for smooth access to the third, so climbing in and out feels effortless rather than awkward.
Cargo space is equally well considered. With up to 75.5 cu. ft. available, the Sorento adapts seamlessly from passenger duty to hauling gear. Sports bags, groceries, strollers, or weekend luggage all fit comfortably thanks to flexible folding seat configurations that prioritize usability without sacrificing comfort.
Advanced Safety That Feels Reassuring, Not Intrusive

The available Surround View Monitor adds another layer of confidence, providing a 360-degree perspective around the vehicle. It’s especially useful in tight parking areas, school drop-off zones, or crowded shopping centers, where visibility matters most.
Versatility for Changing Roads and Changing Plans
The Sorento’s versatility extends beyond its cabin. Available AWD enhances traction and control in a variety of weather conditions, an important consideration for families in Batesville, AR.
