The front driver-side blade is 26 inches, the front passenger-side blade is 18 inches, and the rear blade is 12 inches.
The 2017 Kia Sorento uses two different front blade lengths to maximize windshield coverage, plus a single rear blade for the tailgate. When replacing blades, use the exact sizes or a matched kit to ensure proper fit and effective wiping in varying weather conditions.
Front wipers sizes
The front wipers on the Sorento come in two different lengths to ensure full coverage across the windshield. Use the following sizes when shopping for front blades.
- Driver-side front blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side front blade: 18 inches
Replacing both front blades at the same time helps maintain even wear and consistent performance across the windshield.
Rear wiper size
The Sorento’s rear wiper is a single blade mounted on the rear window. Use the size below when replacing the rear blade.
- Rear blade: 12 inches
When shopping for the rear blade, check the wiper arm’s attachment style (hook, side pin, or bayonet) to ensure a proper fit with your blade model.
Buying and installation tips
To confirm exact fit, you can verify by measuring the current blades or checking the owner’s manual or blade packaging. Many aftermarket kits label front blades as 26"/18" for the Sorento and include compatible adapters for common wiper arms.
Summary
For a 2017 Kia Sorento, use a 26-inch driver-side front blade, an 18-inch passenger-side front blade, and a 12-inch rear blade. Replacing both front blades together and ensuring the rear blade matches your wiper arm type helps maintain optimal visibility in all weather. Always verify fit at the time of purchase.
