Which Sorento to buy
HTK to HTK 6-seat buys you as much for your money as any paid step up this ladder. Another step asks exactly the same per rupee, so which of them you take is about which trim you want to be on. In Bengaluru that step costs ₹24,196 on the road, rather than the ₹20,000 the showroom prices suggest.

The fine print
- Road tax (18%)
- Karnataka MV Taxation Act 1957, Schedule Part A5; read from the department's 2020 schedule compilation AND the Part A5 re-enactment in L.A. Bill 12 of 2026, which agree
- Cess on the vehicle tax (11%)

- Registration fee (central)
- CMVR Rule 81, as amended by GSR 1183(E) dated 29-12-2016
- TCS (1%, adjustable against your income tax)
- Income-tax Act 1961 s.206C(1F) from 1 June 2016, and from 1 April 2026 s.394(1) of the Income-tax Act 2025 at the same rate and threshold (renumbering reported, not read from the Act); creditable against the buyer's income tax

- The Rs 15 lakh owner-driver cover is mandatory; this prescribed rate is what most insurers charge for the annual form.
- FASTag
- Tag cost only. Issuers add a deposit and minimum balance; dealer bundles commonly total Rs 500-600.
- Comprehensive own-damage cover
- Not in this total. Lenders require it and most buyers take it, but it has been market-priced since 2007 and varies widely with insurer, cover value and no-claim bonus, so an honest single figure does not exist. Budget for it from real quotes on top of this total.
Confirm the final figure with your dealer before paying.
