About the Sorento Hybrid
The Kia Sorento is the brand's new flagship SUV for India — a three-row, seven-seat premium SUV positioned above the Carens and Seltos in Kia's range. It is coming in two forms: a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol strong hybrid, and a diesel. Both are automatic-only, with all-wheel drive offered on select variants. Pre-bookings are open at ₹25,000 ahead of the 4 September 2026 launch, with prices expected between ₹35 lakh and ₹45 lakh (ex-showroom).
Expert Take — should you wait for it?
The Sorento Hybrid brings something rare to India's premium SUV space — a genuine three-row hybrid that promises Fortuner-and-Gloster levels of presence with lower running costs. The 177 bhp 1.6-litre strong-hybrid setup and available all-wheel drive make it a credible long-distance family SUV, and Kia's strength on features, ADAS and cabin quality works in its favour. The open questions are price and positioning: at an expected ₹28–35 lakh it sits firmly in premium territory, so how Kia specs the variants — and whether it can undercut the diesel establishment — will decide its appeal. With dealer pre-bookings now open ahead of the expected October 2026 launch, seriously interested buyers can register early, but should confirm final variant and pricing details at the time of booking.
