Kia Sorento Curb Weight: 3,825 lbs to 4,120 lbs

At 55/45, the 3,825 lbs puts about 2,104 lbs on the front axle and 1,721 lbs on the rear — 383 lbs more over the front wheels, which is what front tires and front brake pads wear against first.

The two axles are not the same width either: 65.0 in of track at the front against 65.4 in at the rear, 0.4 in narrower in front.

Ranked on the lightest configuration of each nameplate, the Sorento is 42 of 98 in Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD, 123 lbs below the 3,948 lbs median and lighter than 56 of its peers.

The published 17.7-gallon tank holds about 108 lbs of gasoline at 6.1 lb per gallon, and curb weight is measured with it full. Run it to empty and the Hybrid SUV is effectively a 4,012 lbs vehicle — 2.6% of the figure quoted above is fuel you will burn off.

The lightest 2015 record is 3,796 lbs; the lightest 2026 record is 3,825 lbs — 29 lbs heavier (0.8%).

At the top of the range the 2026 file reaches 4,120 lbs against 4,050 lbs in 2015, a 70 lbs increase — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.

With a 2.5T / X-Line with Towing Package configuration, the 2027 Sorento is rated to pull 3,500 lbs — 0.8 times the 4,120 lbs the heaviest recorded truck weighs by itself, and 0.9 times the 3,825 lbs of the lightest.

That rating belongs to the 2.5T / X-Line with Towing Package build, not to every truck on this page: a Hybrid SUV starts 295 lbs deeper into the combined rating than a 2.5L SUV before a trailer is coupled.

The towing figure on file is for 2027; the weights above are 2026 records.
