The Korean automaker has confirmed that the new 3-row SUV will be offered with both hybrid and diesel powertrain options, and will also get an AWD drivetrain.
Kia Sorento Price Expectations
Kia has already started local assembly of the new Sorento at its Anantapur production facility in Andhra Pradesh today. With high level of localisation, we expect competitive pricing.

This will be Kia’s first hybrid as well as its first ICE-powered 7-seater SUV in India.
