Kia Teases Sorento Hybrid for India Launch
Kia is getting ready to sell a new hybrid SUV called the Sorento in India.
They have already started taking unofficial orders at some car dealerships.
The car is expected to arrive in September or October, right before the big holiday season.
It will cost between 30 and 35 lakh rupees, which is cheaper than some other big SUVs like the Toyota Fortuner.
The Sorento will run on a hybrid engine, which means it can use both gasoline and electric power, making it a good choice for people who want a big car that is easier on the environment.
Kia has teased the Sorento hybrid for India, opening unofficial bookings at select dealerships.
The launch is expected in September‑October, coinciding with the festive season.
The three‑row SUV will be a CKD import priced between Rs 30 lakh and Rs 35 lakh.
It aims to compete with the Toyota Fortuner, MG Majestor, and Volkswagen Tayron as a more affordable alternative.
The hybrid powertrain offers a potential advantage over the diesel‑only segment currently dominated by competitors.
