The Sorento is one of Kia's most popular global SUVs and is expected to strengthen the brand's premium lineup in India.

First Look at the New Sorento
The teaser gives a glimpse of the SUV's design without revealing it completely. It shows a bold front end with a wide stance, a tall body and a strong SUV shape. The front also gets a new two-level LED lighting setup, giving the Sorento a modern and premium look. The overall design is similar to the latest global model, which combines a stylish appearance with a practical three-row layout.
Kia's First Hybrid SUV in India
The Sorento will be the first hybrid SUV from Kia in India. The company recently confirmed that it plans to expand its range of electric and hybrid vehicles. Kia aims to have eight electrified models in its India lineup by 2030, and the Sorento will be an important part of that plan. The SUV is expected to attract buyers looking for a premium three-row SUV with better fuel efficiency than a regular petrol model.
A Popular SUV Across the World
The Sorento has been on sale globally since 2002 and is now in its fourth generation. Kia says the SUV has sold over 4.8 million units in 132 countries. It has also received several international safety and quality awards, making it one of the brand's most successful models.
More Details to Be Announced Soon
Kia has not yet revealed the India-spec engine, features or price of the Sorento Hybrid. However, the company says the SUV will offer a mix of premium styling, modern technology and hybrid efficiency. With bookings now open, more information about the Kia Sorento Hybrid is expected to be announced in the coming weeks ahead of its official India launch.
