Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear brake rotors on the 2026 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid serve distinct roles: front rotors handle the majority of braking load and typically wear faster, while rear rotors share braking duty and help stabilize the vehicle under deceleration. Front rotors are usually larger and face higher thermal and mechanical stress, which makes them more susceptible to warping or uneven wear. At Nalley Kia in GA, our technicians inspect both axles with specialized gauges and OEM specifications to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the safest, most economical solution. We explain each option in plain language, share cost comparisons, and highlight long-term savings from OEM components and correct installation.
