Kia Sorento Hybrid:  Kia, the South Korean car manufacturer, has begun testing for its popular 7-seater SUV, the Kia Sorento. The Kia Sorento is already sold in the international market, and it is expected to be launched in India by the end of this year. The prototypes of the Sorento have been spied testing on several occasions in the country. Another prototype was recently spied on the Indian roads, which establishes the fact that the brand has begun road testing of the SUV in the country. Let’s take a look at the design, features, and specs of the upcoming Kia Sorento.

Kia Sorento SUV: Design

The Kia Sorento 2026 features a tall and boxy stance, and it gets horizontally placed Y-shaped LED DRLs at the front. The DRLs also work as turn signals, and the Sorento also gets a quad LED projector-based headlamp setup, which is placed vertically. The front fascia of the 7-seater SUV also comprises a blacked-out tiger nose grille with horizontal and vertical slats, functional air dams, and blacked-out radiator grilles. On the side, it gets a thin blacked-out body cladding running across the length of the SUV, along with wheel arches, and large 19-inch alloy wheels. The rear end of the SUV features C-shaped taillights that extend to the side portion of the SUV, a subtle roof spoiler with integrated stop lamp, Kia badging on the tailgate, and a shark fin antenna on the roof.

Kia Sorento SUV: Engine

The brand has not yet disclosed any details about the upcoming Kia Sorento 2026. The global trims of the Sorento are available with options of either a 2.5-litre petrol engine or a 2.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine. It is also available with a hybrid powertrain internationally, which uses a 1.6-litre turbo engine. We expect the Kia Sorento to be offered with the strong hybrid powertrain in India, and it is very likely that the SUV will be offered with a petrol engine as well.
