Which Sorento variant gives you the most for the money?

Every Sorento pays Tamil Nadu's 20% rate, so the cheaper the version, the less tax you pay. The Sorento HTE(O) Hybrid 7-Seater at ₹38.64 lakh already has ventilated front seats, the panoramic sunroof and a power tailgate.

Dual zone climate control and AC vents for the second and third rows come on every Sorento, so the cabin stays cool even on the base HTE.
