Kia Pakistan has officially launched the facelifted fourth-generation Sorento, marking a major upgrade in its SUV lineup with the introduction of hybrid variants for the first time in the country.
The new model, unveiled on, is now available for booking starting May 11, and will be showcased at Kia dealerships nationwide.
The refreshed Sorento replaces the outgoing model with significant improvements in powertrain, technology, and comfort, aimed at taking on the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid in the competitive midsize 7-seater SUV segment.
Most powerful SUV is the phrase making waves in Pakistan’s car circles as anticipation builds across the launch of a locally assembled, full-size 7-seater.
Positioned as the largest and most robust SUV ever constructed within the country, this development is expected to reshape the local car landscape.
A breakthrough for Pakistan’s car industry
Most powerful SUV is not just a label; it reflects a turning point in the country’s car production abilities.
This upcoming version, which features 3-row seating and a commanding construct, stands out in a marketplace traditionally dominated by compact and midsize vehicles.
Its launch highlights a shift in consumer options, with larger families seeking roomier, overall performance-oriented cars.

Even as Pakistan has a history of assembling smaller cars locally, the introduction of a full-size SUV produced on domestic soil represents a growing maturity in manufacturing and client demand.
A first for the local marketplace
This upcoming SUV must stand out because of its size and seating capability. While the local assembly of compact and midsize cars isn’t new, the arrival of a full-size SUV in this category highlights an evolving market with increasing demand for large family vehicles.
Assembly and Availability
The automobile might be produced at a local facility, which suggests a push toward more self-sufficiency in the car sector. Local assembly is anticipated to help reduce costs commonly associated with imported models, potentially making this SUV extra accessible as soon as it becomes available.
Prices
The new Sorento is offered in three variants: a 3.5L V6 petrol engine priced at Rs13,499,000, a 1.6L Turbo Hybrid Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) at Rs14,699,000, and a 1.6L Turbo Hybrid All-Wheel Drive (AWD) at Rs15,999,000.
