About the Kia Sorento
Kia's flagship three-row SUV with diesel and strong-hybrid power, from ₹27.99 lakh.
The Kia Sorento sits at the top of Kia India's SUV range, above the Carens Clavis and alongside the Carnival MPV. Launched on 4 September 2026, it spans 31 variants across nine trims, with a 2.2-litre diesel making 190 bhp and 442 Nm through an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic, or a 1.6-litre Turbo GDI strong hybrid that pairs a 178 bhp petrol engine with a 64 bhp electric motor. Buyers pick 2WD or AWD, and six seats with captain chairs or a seven-seat bench.
The cabin is the headline: a panoramic curved panel joins two 12.3-inch displays running Kia's ccNC software with over-the-air updates, backed by Bose 12-speaker audio, ventilated and heated front seats, a 360-degree camera and dual-zone climate control. The (A) trims add a Level 2 ADAS suite, and Black Line editions bring a gloss-black exterior treatment. Kia's 3-year unlimited-kilometre warranty is extendable to five years.

NCAP n/a
“The Sorento sits alone in its class by offering both a 190 bhp diesel and a 1.6-litre turbo hybrid, each with their own appeal. At Rs 27.99 lakh, it's positioned as a proper family hauler with captain's chairs, a panoramic sunroof, and dual 12.3-inch screens that feel premium. The trade-off is price, which climbs steeply towards luxury territory, and automatic-only transmissions that narrow the buyer pool.
442 Nm diesel with AWDEffortless highway and hill-climb capability in its class.
