• Pros & Cons

  Pros, Cons

  Pros	The first electric MPV with 6- & 7-seater configurations 2 battery pack options with a range of up to 530 km The new styling looks sharp compared to the e6 The interior fit and finish feels premium Decent safety features such as standard 6-airbags, 360-degree camera, ADAS, and more Competitive Pricing	First-in-segment hybrid AWD combination expands the Sorento’s appeal beyond conventional diesel-powered three-row SUVs. Spacious 6- and 7-seater layouts give buyers the choice between second-row captain seats and greater seating flexibility. Second-row ventilated seats with three-step cooling are a meaningful comfort advantage for passengers travelling long distances. Strong safety credentials with 30 ADAS Level 2+ features, 360-degree camera, five radars, 12 parking sensors and up to 10 airbags. Kia AI Assistant with Real-Time Generative AI gives the Sorento a genuinely distinctive connected-car experience. Hybrid and diesel powertrains, both available with AWD, provide buyers with greater flexibility based on their usage requirements.
  Cons	Limited boot space of 180-litre while all three rows are in use No one touch tumble for the second-row seats Limited sales and service network of BYD in India Brand recognition in the Indian market	The top-spec Sorento crosses Rs. 40 lakh ex-showroom, making it a significant investment even before on-road costs. The hybrid is offered with a 6-speed automatic, while the diesel uses an 8-speed DCT, limiting powertrain-transmission combinations. Several of the most premium features are concentrated on higher trims, requiring buyers to move up the range for the full experience. Its 4,815 mm length and 1,900 mm width deliver excellent presence and cabin space but can make tight urban manoeuvring less convenient.
