Kia Sorento Overview

The Kia Sorento is a large premium SUV with room for six or seven. It aims high, with a plush cabin, quiet running and a confident road presence. This is Kia at its most upmarket in India. It slots in above the Seltos as the brand's biggest SUV here.

Two very different powertrains lead the range. A 1.6 litre turbo petrol strong hybrid keeps things smooth and quiet in town. A 2.2 litre diesel makes 193 bhp and 441 Nm for strong highway pull. All wheel drive joins the higher grades for extra grip.

Inside, the three rows are made for real people, not just for show. Middle row comfort is strong, and the top Black Line trim switches to a six seat layout. Rear passengers get plenty of head and knee room. Long trips pass easily in the settled, hushed cabin. To see how the grades differ, study how the Sorento trims compare on kit.

Prices run from 27.99 lakh to 40.39 lakh across nine trims. Hybrid and diesel sit close in price at each step, so the powertrain choice is yours to make. All wheel drive adds a clear premium higher up the ladder. The top Black Line hybrid caps the range as a six seater.

The Sorento suits buyers who want space, calm and a premium badge without stepping into imported territory. It works as a family hauler and a long distance cruiser at once. It rewards families who cover long distances in comfort. Few home grown three row SUVs feel this plush.
