The Sonet also continues to attract buyers in the sub-compact SUV segment. Both models combine features, technology and SUV styling, helping Kia maintain a strong presence in the mass-premium segment.

Kia has also seen an encouraging response to its electric vehicle range, led by the recently launched Syros EV . The model is part of the company's strategy to offer customers more powertrain choices as demand for electric vehicles continues to grow.

Kia is also using ownership-focused initiatives to address some of the key concerns around EV adoption. These include an Assured Buyback programme, Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) and a Lifetime High Voltage Battery Warranty.

Kia Sorento Hybrid Launch on September 4

Kia's next major launch for India will be the Sorento , which is scheduled to debut on September 4, 2026. The three-row SUV will become Kia India's first hybrid SUV and will also be offered with a diesel powertrain.

With the Sorento, Kia will enter a new premium three-row SUV segment in India. The model is expected to target buyers looking for a larger and more premium SUV with multiple powertrain options.

Kia currently has a nationwide network of 910 touchpoints spread across 418 cities. The company also has 137 Certified Pre-Owned outlets, strengthening its presence in both major cities and emerging markets.

The automaker says its expanding network is aimed at providing customers with easier access to sales, service and ownership support across the country.
