Arapahoe Kia - Does the 2026 Kia Sorento have enough cargo space for Colorado adventures near Denver, CO?

Weekend plans along the Front Range often shift from school drop-offs to I-70 ski runs and camping at Golden Gate Canyon, so cargo versatility matters. At Arapahoe Kia, we help shoppers near Denver, CO understand how the 2026 Kia Sorento adapts to real gear — skis and snowboards, coolers and tents, strollers and team bags — without compromising comfort or technology. Here is a clear look at how Sorento’s interior packaging, available convenience features, and adventure-ready upgrades work together to carry what life brings.

The 2026 Sorento is designed with practical flexibility. With the 2nd and 3rd rows folded flat, Sorento offers up to 75.5 cu. ft. of cargo room, giving you the open floor you want for bulky items. Standard 3rd-row 50/50 split-folding seats help you balance people and cargo on the fly, while the standard 2nd-row bench slides forward at the touch of a button for easy access. If you prefer a wider aisle for long items or easier kid-seat management, available 2nd-row captain’s chairs create a convenient pass-through to the 3rd row.

For quick reference, here are the cargo-forward highlights our Denver-area near Longmont and Littleton - drivers ask about most, organized around everyday use cases.

• Maximum cargo volume: Up to 75.5 cu. ft. with the 2nd and 3rd rows folded flat

Planning for winter? Many families carry skis inside with the 3rd row folded while keeping the 2nd row for passengers. Choosing available 2nd-row captain’s chairs leaves a natural middle channel for longer items to pass through. If you prefer to keep the interior dry and open, pair the available roof rails with an optional rooftop cargo box accessory — our parts and accessories team can help you select the right size, then install it for you.

For summer camping or weekend projects, Sorento’s adaptable cabin and available Smart Power Liftgate w/ Auto Close make loading straightforward — the system can open when it senses the key and close automatically when the smart key fob is no longer detected near the vehicle. If your adventures call for even more carrying confidence, Sorento X-Pro brings capability to match the cargo: it adds all-terrain tires, 8.2 in. of ground clearance, torque-vectoring all-wheel drive w/ Terrain Mode, and a 4,500-lb. towing capacity, so you can bring a small utility trailer or extra gear without stress.

Technology adds everyday usability when the cabin is full. The available Dual Panoramic Displays w/ Navigation offer approximately 24 in. of total combined display, pairing information clearly with standard Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™ to keep trip planning and playlists simple. When your view is compromised by cargo, the available Full Display Digital Rearview Mirror helps you see behind the vehicle, and the available Blind-Spot View Monitor can display a live video feed of your rear blind spots in the digital gauge cluster. Need a little extra peace of mind on the highway? Available Highway Driving Assist 2 is designed to help maintain a set speed and distance, and can assist with steering wheel control when changing lanes (activated by the turn signal), making longer hauls feel easier.

Ultimately, Sorento blends the flexible cargo volume families want with the convenience and driver assistance features that make everyday use effortless. Visit Arapahoe Kia in Centennial to test-load your gear — skis, camping totes, strollers, or team equipment — and see how the 2026 Kia Sorento fits your life near Denver, CO.
