The Kia Sorento three-row SUV will go on sale in India on September 4, 2026. It will be positioned above the Seltos as Kia India’s flagship ICE SUV, and will also be the carmaker’s first hybrid model for the Indian market. Official bookings for the Sorento opened very recently too.
Kia Sorento India price estimate and rivals
US-spec Kia Sorento. Image used for representation only.
Since the Sorento is anticipated to be locally assembled, expect pricing to start at around Rs 40 lakh (ex-showroom). At that price point, the Sorento will rival premium three-row SUVs like the Volkswagen Tayron, MG Majestor, Skoda Kodiaq, Toyota Fortuner, and Jeep Meridian.
Kia Sorento powertrain options
Kia will offer the Sorento with hybrid and diesel powertrains in India. If the international-spec Sorento is anything to go by, the India-spec model could feature a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder turbo-petrol hybrid setup developing 238hp and 380Nm, along with a 2.2-litre diesel engine outputting 202hp and 441Nm – this mill is used in the Kia Carnival too. Both Sorento engines are likely to be paired with automatic transmissions. Though the global-spec Sorento can be had in FWD and AWD guises, it remains to be seen whether the latter drive layout will be available for Indian buyers.
Kia Sorento exterior and interior
The Sorento sports a subtly aggressive design, with highlights like vertically oriented LED headlamps and tail-lamps, T-shaped amber-coloured DRLs, a wide ‘Tiger Nose’ grille, dual-tone alloy wheels, mildly flared wheel arches, and muscular bumpers. In terms of dimensions, the global-spec Sorento measures 4,815mm in length, 1,900mm in width, and 1,700mm in height, along with a wheelbase of 2,815mm. Should these hold true for the India-spec model, the Sorento will be larger than most of its rivals.
Inside, the India-spec Sorento is likely to be offered with 6-seat and 7-seat configurations. Boot space is rated at 179 litres with all three rows up, extendable to a cavernous 1,996 litres. Notable elements on the premium-looking dashboard include dual 12.3-inch displays, a four-spoke steering wheel with an offset Kia logo, large vertical AC vents on both extremities, a touch-capacitive panel on the centre console, and a rotary drive selector.
The Sorento is expected to pack creature comforts like ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a powered driver’s seat, a panoramic sunroof, Level 2 ADAS, a heads-up display, an electronic parking brake, ambient lighting, a wireless charging pad, and more.

Toyota will debut the new-generation 2026 Hilux in India tomorrow, July 28. The Hilux, currently in its eighth-generation avatar in the country, was launched in March 2022 and has been a relative success, especially against the likes of the Isuzu V-Cross pickup. With the new-generation model, teasers suggest that Toyota will give the Hilux a full design overhaul, making it look more modern and offering a handful of new features. Here’s everything you can expect from the 2026 Toyota Hilux in India:
1. What is the expected price of the 2026 Toyota Hilux in India
New-gen Hilux’s price could range between Rs 32 lakh and Rs 40 lakh (ex-showroom)
With the new-generation update, Toyota is expected to raise the Hilux’s prices by a considerable margin. For reference, the current model is priced from Rs 28.52 lakh to Rs 36 lakh (ex-showroom). So, the upcoming new-generation Hilux is likely to have a price tag of somewhere between Rs 32 lakh and Rs 40 lakh (ex-showroom).
2. What engine option will power the 2026 Toyota Hilux?
The Hilux’s 2.8-litre diesel engine could be offered with a 48V ‘neoDrive’ tech
International-spec ninth-generation Toyota Hilux shown for representational purposes only.
As the upcoming new-gen model is based on the same IMV platform as the current Hilux, Toyota is expected to offer it with the same 2.8-litre diesel engine that produces 204hp, 420Nm with a 6-speed manual transmission, and 240hp, 500Nm with a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. A 4×4 AWD system is expected to be offered as standard with a low-range transfer case. A small improvement, however, could be a new 48V mild-hybrid system, called the ‘neoDrive’ on the Fortuner, which would slightly improve the fuel efficiency of the Toyota pickup.
Notably, the international-spec ninth-generation Hilux is also offered as an all-electric vehicle with a 59.2kWh battery pack, delivering a WLTP-claimed range of 240km, and front- and rear-axle-mounted electric motors with a combined output of 196hp. However, the Hilux EV’s India launch is highely unlike in the country.
3. What are the exterior design changes on the 2026 Toyota Hilux?
Has slimmer headlights, a square grille and an aggressive-looking front bumper
International-spec ninth-generation Toyota Hilux shown for representational purposes only.
Compared to the current model, the international-spec ninth-generation Hilux has plenty of prominent creases and angles that make it look more aggressive. At the front, it gets slimmer LED headlights with LED DRLs, connected via a gloss black strip that features ‘Toyota lettering’. The grille is squarer than before and features prominent angular honeycomb-mesh design elements.
On the bumper, there are two quadrangle-shaped black air intakes on either side of the grille. The lower section of the bumper looks very aggressive with strong creases, wide air intakes, a silver skid plate, and two LED fog lamps.
Gets a cleaner side profile, but the square wheel arches add to its character
International-spec ninth-generation Toyota Hilux shown for representational purposes only.
Compared to the front, the side profile design is cleaner. The international model gets 18-inch black alloy wheels, squared-off black cladding on wheel arches and a footboard for easier ingress and egress. The outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs) and door handles are black, and the truckbed features a roll cage finished in black for added contrast.
Features new wraparound taillights but a similar Toyota badging on the tailgate
International-spec ninth-generation Toyota Hilux shown for representational purposes only.
The 2026 Toyota Hilux’s rear features C-shaped wraparound LED taillights. The tailgate features massive ‘Toyota’ lettering in black, and the tailgate handle is also finished in black. The rear bumper is chunky and integrates a step to climb onto the truck bed.
4. What are the interior design changes on the 2026 Toyota Hilux?
The international model gets a revamped all-black cabin with two screens
Japan-spec ninth-generation Toyota Hilux shown for representational purposes only.
While the India-spec Hilux’s interior is yet to be teased, it is expected to be revamped entirely like the international model. With a chunky 3-spoke steering wheel with physical buttons, a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display and a same-sized touchscreen infotainment system, it looks more modern than the outgoing model. With a mix of soft-touch leatherette materials and hard plastics, it seems to be equal parts contemporary and rugged. Unlike modern-day cars, the new-gen Hilux offers a plethora of physical controls on the centre console and transmission tunnel. Like the current model, the international-spec ninth-gen Hilux features an all-black cabin.
5. What features does the 2026 Toyota Hilux have?
360-degree camera, dual-zone AC, and powered seats are expected to be offered

New features onboard the ninth-generation Toyota Hilux include a 360-degree camera system with a blind-spot monitor, dual-zone automatic climate control, powered and ventilated front seats, heated ORVMs and an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) suite. Other features include the aforementioned 12.3-inch screens, a 9-speaker JBL audio system, a 220V power outlet for front passengers and front and rear parking sensors. The feature suite of the India-spec 2026 Hilux is expected to be similar to the international-spec model.
6. Which cars will the 2026 Toyota Hilux rival in India
The 2026 Hilux will continue its rivalry with only one car in India
The new-generation Toyota Hilux will continue to rival the Isuzu V-Cross in India, which received a minor update in February 2026. Notably, the V-Cross is priced from Rs 25.50 lakh to Rs 30.28 lakh (ex-showroom).

The recently launched Tata Sierra EV is positioned right below its larger sibling, the Harrier EV. However, there’s quite a lot of pricing overlap between the two Tata electric SUVs. To that end, we’ve compared the top-spec Sierra EV Empowered A 75 to the mid-spec Harrier EV Fearless+ 75 to find out which variant delivers better value on paper.

Expectedly, the Harrier EV is 267mm longer than the Sierra EV, but there’s only an 11mm difference between their wheelbases, suggesting that the smaller SUV doesn’t lose out on much interior space. While the Harrier EV is 81mm wider than the Sierra EV, the latter is 10mm taller. Wheel sizes are matched at 19 inches for both electric SUVs.
Interestingly, the Sierra EV offers 120 litres of additional boot space over the Harrier EV – it’s worth nothing that both SUVs’ boot capacity is measured up until the roof, as opposed to the conventional method, which is up to the parcel tray. In terms of frunk capacity, the RWD Harrier EV offers the bigger one, while their AWD versions are matched in this regard.

Both the Sierra EV and Harrier EV get 75kWh battery packs, along with single-motor (RWD) and dual-motor (AWD) options. The Harrier EV edges ahead in terms of powertrain output, though the RWD versions of both SUVs feature identical torque figures. Despite the Sierra EV’s slightly lower output, its AWD variant is half a second quicker in the 0-100kph run compared to that of the Harrier EV – this is on account of the Sierra EV being smaller and lighter.
Similarly, MIDC-claimed range is a total victory for the Sierra EV as well. The Sierra EV AWD’s claimed range is 2km higher than that of the Harrier EV AWD, while the RWD version can travel 38km more on a single charge.

Despite battery capacities being identical for both electric SUVs, the Harrier EV takes slightly longer to charge from 10-100 percent via a 7.2kW AC outlet. On the other hand, the Harrier EV is marginally quicker in a 20-80 percent top-up from a 120kW DC fast charger. Tata offers the same battery, motor, and vehicle warranties for the Harrier EV and Sierra EV, so buyers can rest easy on this front.

Coming to exterior features, the Sierra EV and Harrier EV are near-identical. However, the Sierra EV does miss out on a charging indicator in the front light bar, with it instead being situated on the charging port. The Harrier EV additionally offers a side step too, which makes ingress and egress a tad easier.

Despite its lower positioning, the Sierra EV pulls a clear lead over the Harrier EV in terms of cabin equipment. Features like a 12.3-inch passenger display, a 12-speaker JBL sound system, and a heads-up display are not offered even on the top-spec Harrier variant. In fact, the Sierra EV is the only electric Tata to come with a triple-screen setup at the moment.

Both the top-spec Sierra EV and mid-spec Harrier EV are very similar on the driving features front. However, the Sierra EV gets an additional ‘Custom’ terrain mode in the RWD version, as well as adaptive cruise control with stop and go functionality. The latter is much more convenient than the Harrier EV’s standard cruise control, as it can automatically adjust the speed based on proximity to nearby vehicles, and even come to a standstill and set off by itself. AWD versions of both SUVs get additional terrain modes too, namely Snow/Grass, Mud-Ruts, Sand, Rock Crawl, and Custom.

In the safety department, the Harrier EV holds some notable advantages, specifically a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating (the Sierra EV is yet to be tested, but will likely perform well too), 7 airbags, and driver drowsiness detection. The Sierra EV, though, trades punches with the Harrier EV thanks to safety features like Level 2 ADAS and a 540-degree camera (360-degree with underfloor view).
