The Kia Sorento price in India is expected to be Rs 35 lakh.
Kia will either localise the Sorento for the Indian market or launch an SUV based on the Sorento's platform for India.
The global-spec model features a 238hp 1.6-litre turbo-petrol hybrid, a 288hp 1.6-litre turbo-petrol plug-in hybrid and a 2.2-litre diesel hybrid. Petrol versions are paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the diesel is paired with an 8-speed DCT. AWD is standard across all engines.
While the global-spec model features LED headlights and tail-lights, dual 12.3-inch screens and level 2 ADAS, other possible features include a panoramic sunroof, a privacy glass function for the rear windows and tailgate, powered and ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera and a head-up display.
The global-spec Sorento is over 4.8 metres long with a 2.8 metre long wheelbase.
Yes the Kia Sorento is a three-row 7-seater SUV.
As of now, Toyota has no concrete plans to bring the Toyota RAV4 to India in 2026 or anytime soon. The challenge is cost. The RAV4 would have to be imported or assembled in small numbers, which would push its price well beyond what most buyers in the Rs 30-40 lakh bracket expect. Also, by Indian standards, it’s not a particularly large SUV, and at that price, buyers here tend to want more size and presence.
Sadly, there’s a bit of a vacuum in the Rs 30-40 lakh space, and in this range, your more practical choices are SUVs like the Mahindra XUV7XO and the Tata Harrier. Both are spacious, comfortable for family use, and capable on bad roads.
If you can stretch closer to Rs 50 lakh, options like the Skoda Kodiaq and the upcoming Volkswagen Tayron (a more affordable version below the R-Line is expected) are very strong all-rounders with a more premium feel.
Another SUV worth waiting for is the Kia Sorento, which we understand could arrive around the festive season at roughly Rs 40 lakh. That might come closest to what you’re looking for, a proper global SUV with family practicality and some genuine all-road ability.
