2027 Kia Sorento · Trims · S
What is the 2027 Kia Sorento S?
The second-cheapest of the Sorento's 11 trims in our data. Kia current checked October 17, 2026; excludes $1,495 , taxes, paint and dealer charges. The S starts at $35,490. On price, it sits between the LX ($32,590) and the EX ($38,690).
Our Sorento data has all eleven US 2027 gas/HEV , fourteen factory trim/drive combinations and core roof/comfort . Both US 2026 PHEV trims are included under the 2026 year control. It doesn't have paint, interior color packages, dealer except the modeled tow hitch, incentives, allocation and factory order-bank status yet, so something missing from this page may still be offered.
