The Kia Sorento HTE Hybrid 7 Seater is the entry variant of the range, priced at ₹29.49 lakh ex-showroom. It is a seven-seater only, with the six-seat layout starting at HTK.
The powertrain is the Smartstream 1.6 litre turbo GDi petrol paired with an electric motor and a 6-speed automatic. The engine makes 132.4 kW, or 177.6 bhp, at 5,500 rpm and 265 Nm. The motor adds 47.7 kW, or 64 bhp, and 264 Nm between 1,500 and 4,500 rpm. Kia does not publish a combined system output.
This is a strong hybrid, so there is no charging port and no plug. The 1.49 kWh battery recharges from the engine and from energy recovered under braking, and the car moves between electric and petrol drive on its own. Kia has not published a certified mileage figure yet.
The HTE is two-wheel drive. It runs a 31.24 cm HD touchscreen with a 10.5 cm colour TFT instrument display, six speakers, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a wireless charger and C-type USB ports across all three rows. Comfort covers dual zone climate with second and third row vents, a 10-way power driver seat with lumbar adjust, a 6-way passenger seat, second row seats that slide, recline, fold remotely and walk in, and a 50:50 split third row.
Outside it gets Crystal Cube MFR LED headlamps with auto light control, Star Map LED DRLs with integrated turn signals, Star Map tail lamps, the Kia digital tiger face, an integrated rear spoiler with hidden wiper, satin chrome body side and fender garnish and R18 sporty crystal cut alloys. Interiors are Smoky Black and Grey with leatherette seats.
Safety covers 7 airbags including a driver knee airbag, ESC with vehicle stability management, traction control, hill-start assist, downhill brake control, ABS with EBD, brake assist, disc brakes on all four wheels, a highline tyre pressure monitor, ISOFIX, a rear occupant alert, a rollover sensor, multi-collision braking, front and rear parking sensors and a reverse camera with dynamic guidelines. There is no ADAS on this variant.
What it misses against the HTE(O) is the dual pane panoramic sunroof, the smart power tailgate, the 8-way power passenger seat and ventilated front seats, which make up the Convenience Package.
Kia covers the car for 3 years with unlimited kilometres, extendable to 5 years, alongside 3 years of roadside assistance. The high voltage battery carries a separate 8 year or 1,60,000 km warranty.
