Trims HTE / HTE(O) / HTK / HTK(A) / HTX / HTX(A); 6- or 7-seat layouts (HTE and HTE(O) are 7-seat only); AWD with terrain modes on HTX and above; Black Line styling packs on HTK(A), HTX and HTX(A). Kia India showroom Starting MSRP from Rs 27.99 lakh (HTE) to Rs 38.49 lakh (HTX(A)) introductory ex-showroom; full SKU matrix pending the Sorento configurator (Kia: from 10 September 2026). Competes with Skoda Kodiaq, Jeep Meridian, Toyota Fortuner, MG Majestor and Mahindra XUV 7XO. Sibling to the Carnival MPV in Kia India's three-row flagship set. India launch: 4 September 2026.
