Kia has already confirmed that its flagship 7-seater SUV, the Sorento, is heading to India. In fact, select dealerships have already begun accepting unofficial bookings, hinting at an imminent launch. Now, ahead of its official debut, our spies have captured fresh images revealing the SUV’s interior for the first time. Here’s a closer look.  

Kia Sorento Spotted: Interior Details Revealed

The Sorento was heavily camouflaged, but the design element stretching from the front fender to the door gave away the SUV’s identity. While the exterior remained well concealed, the cabin was left exposed enough to reveal several key details about the upcoming SUV.

At first glance, the dashboard follows Kia’s latest design philosophy. Dominating the cabin is a large curved display that integrates the digital instrument cluster and touchscreen infotainment system into a single panel. Moreover, the SUV also gets Kia’s two-spoke steering wheel.

The centre console houses a rotary gear selector, carried over from the global model. It also gets multiple physical controls, a drive mode selector, dual cupholders and wireless charging.

The spy shots also confirm captain seats for the second row, indicating that the India-spec Sorento could be offered in both a six-seat and seven-seat configuration. The rear passengers also get dedicated AC vents and USB charging ports. Another key highlight is the inclusion of powered boss mode for added comfort. Overall, the cabin appears premium and upmarket.

What Else?

Based on the spy shots and the international-spec model, the Sorento is expected to come loaded with features such as a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, ventilated and powered front seats, a 360-degree camera, Level 2 ADAS suite and a premium sound system. However, Kia is yet to reveal the final feature list for the India-spec model.

Powering the India-spec Sorento is expected to be a 1.6-litre strong-hybrid turbo-petrol engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

 Kia Sorento Spotted – Expected Launch & Price

The new Kia Sorento is expected to make its India debut around the September–October window. The SUV is likely to be locally assembled, which should help Kia price it competitively. We expect the Sorento to be priced between Rs 45 lakh and Rs 55 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
