Hybrid petrol against the diesel

The strong hybrid pairs a 1.6 litre turbo petrol with an electric motor. It runs quietly and shuffles between petrol and electric on its own. The 2.2 litre diesel makes 190 bhp and 442 Nm, so it pulls hard on the highway. City drivers tend to prefer the hybrid, while long haul owners lean diesel.

Where all wheel drive comes in

The lower Sorento trims send power to the front wheels only. All wheel drive arrives on the HTX grades and above. That setup helps on loose surfaces, wet roads and light trails. If you rarely leave paved roads, front wheel drive saves you money. Compare the AWD and front drive Sorento specs to weigh it up.

The nine Sorento trims and prices

The ladder starts with the HTE Diesel at ₹27.99 Lakh and the HTE Hybrid just above at ₹29.49 Lakh. HTK trims fill the middle, and HTX grades bring all wheel drive. At the top sits the HTX(A) Black Line Hybrid, a 6 seater at ₹40.39 Lakh. See what your chosen Sorento costs on-road.

Kia Sorento variants: common questions

Should I buy the Sorento hybrid or diesel?

Pick the hybrid for quiet, smooth city running. Choose the 2.2 litre diesel if you cover long highway distances and want strong pulling power.

Which Sorento trims get all wheel drive?

The HTX grades and above. Lower HTE and HTK trims drive the front wheels only, which keeps their price down.

Is there a 6 seat Sorento?

Yes. The top HTX(A) Black Line Hybrid at ₹40.39 Lakh is a 6 seater. The rest of the range seats seven.

What is the Sorento price range?

From ₹27.99 Lakh for the HTE Diesel to ₹40.39 Lakh for the HTX(A) Black Line Hybrid, all ex-showroom.
