If you’re hunting a new SUV that won’t break the bank, the 2026 Kia Sorento might already be on your radar. Its entry price of ₹27.99 lakh for the base strong‑hybrid gives you 180 hp and 265 Nm of torque, a sweet spot for city commutes and weekend getaways.
Kia didn’t stop at the hybrid. The 2.2‑litre turbo‑diesel roars with 193 hp and 442 Nm, paired with an eight‑speed DCT and an optional all‑wheel drive that turns the Sorento into a more capable off‑road buddy.
Inside, the SUV offers two seating layouts – a 6‑seater with ventilated captain seats in the middle row and a 7‑seater with a bench. Tech is there in droves: dual 12.3‑inch displays, a 12‑speaker Bose system, a panoramic sunroof, and Level‑2+ ADAS, plus a 360‑degree camera that turns parking into a breeze.
The Sorento hit the showroom floor on Sept 4, 2026, and dealerships are already receiving units. Expect the first deliveries in major metros over the next couple of weeks, with full rollout across India by the end of October.
