The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • Kia India's first hybrid SUV with AWD, offering a genuinely different powertrain option to rivals like the Innova Hycross and Hector Tomahawk
  • 10 airbags and Level 2+ ADAS available across a wide trim spread
  • Choice of hybrid or diesel power, and 6-seat captain-chair or 7-seat bench layouts, across the range

Worth knowing

  • Not crash-tested in India; the European Sorento's 5-star Euro NCAP rating from 2020 runs out on 1 January 2027
  • AWD and the 6-seat captain-chair layout are locked to higher AWD-only trims, not available on the entry HTE
  • At a starting price of Rs 27.99 lakh ex-showroom, it sits well above mainstream 7-seaters like the Hyundai Alcazar or Mahindra XUV700
