Yes, the Kia Sorento Hybrid is slated for an India launch in August-September 2026, and Kia is clearly positioning it as a premium three-row SUV.This Kia car comes with a 1.6‑litre turbo-petrol engine paired with an electric motor, with the system developing around 227 hp and over 350 Nm, driving through a 6‑speed automatic gearbox. Globally, it’s offered in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations, and that mix is likely to be mirrored for India as well.It’s a properly spacious seven-seat SUV, roughly 4.8 m long and 1.9 m wide, so think bigger than a Kia Carens and right in the zone of the Skoda Kodiaq and Toyota Fortuner in terms of footprint and cabin room. Expect a flexible three-row layout, generous boot space with the third row down, and the usual load of Kia kit - panoramic sunroof, ADAS, large screens, and connected-car features.Price-wise, the Sorento Hybrid is expected to sit in the Rs 35-40 lakh (ex-showroom) band, and it will naturally tug buyers both up from something like a Mahindra XUV 7XO and away from the Skoda Kodiaq–Fortuner crowd.

For your requirements, we'd recommend not an SUV or a sedan, but the Toyota Innova Hycross ZX(O) Hybrid. In your 40‑lakh range, it combines Toyota's famous longevity and reliability, the safety net of 6 airbags and ADAS, and outstanding long‑distance comfort for equal city and highway use. Toyota’s hybrid MPV has an 8‑year/1,60,000km battery warranty and 10,000km/12‑month service intervals. For your 50:50 city-highway split, the smooth e‑CVT is smooth around town and the steering light, with the e-motor doing a good percentage of the propulsion, which of course also keeps efficiency high. And surprisingly, on the highway, it still uses a lot of e-power, making sure the 2.0-litre petrol engine never feels overwhelmed. It's spacious, of course, and comfortable too - far more than its ladder-frame counterpart, the Crysta. If the MPV body style is not for you, and you're not in a huge hurry, Kia is expected to launch its premium SUV, the Sorento, which could also get a strong hybrid powertrain; it might be worth waiting for.

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.
