Kia Sorento SUV Review Highlights Design, Hybrid Performance, and Features

Analysed 3 Oct 2026·3 sources analysed·India·Lifestyle
Kia Sorento SUV Review Highlights Design, Hybrid Performance, and FeaturesPreviousNext

The Kia Sorento SUV, available in India with a 2.2-litre diesel and a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol hybrid powertrain, offers a blend of modern design, advanced technology, and spacious interiors. It features dual 12.3-inch displays, Level 2 ADAS safety systems, and multiple drive modes. Reviewers note its smooth hybrid performance, refined driving experience, and substantial size, though some mention firm low-speed ride quality. Priced between Rs 27.99 lakh and Rs 40 lakh, the Sorento aims to compete in the executive three-row SUV segment with a balance of comfort and practicality.
