What the HTK(A) 6-seat Diesel AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the HTK(A) 6-seat Diesel AT comes to ₹36,35,638 on the road in Ahmedabad and ₹41,74,878 in Kochi.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹5,39,240 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Gujarat, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram are level at the lowest, and Kerala comes out highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹33.69L ex-showroom this is the sixth of 11 Sorento variants by price, ₹20,000 above the HTK(A) Diesel AT. HTK(A) 6-seat is sold this one way, as the Diesel 8-speed torque-converter auto. Stepping up to HTX from here starts at ₹3.80L more and buys 10 airbags against 7 and hill descent control among 5 additions, though it gives up level 2 (core suite) ADAS. Worth knowing that the HTX is not sold with the Diesel with the 8-speed torque-converter auto, so the move changes the powertrain too.

Kia Sorento HTK(A) 6-seat: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Kia Sorento HTK(A) 6-seat Diesel AT?
- ₹33.69L, ex-showroom. That makes it 6th of 11 by price, ₹20,000 above the HTK(A) Diesel AT.
- What is the on-road price of the Kia Sorento HTK(A) 6-seat Diesel AT?
- Expect ₹36,35,638 in Ahmedabad and ₹41,74,878 in Kochi. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹5,39,240 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Kia Sorento HTK(A) 6-seat Diesel AT have?
- The Diesel, 193 PS, with the 8-speed torque-converter auto.
- What features does the Kia Sorento HTK(A) 6-seat Diesel AT get?
- The features worth naming on this trim: ADAS (Level 2 (core suite)), Second-row captain seats, 360° camera, Blind spot monitor, Premium sound system (Bose) and Sunroof (Panoramic).
- What does the Kia Sorento HTK(A) 6-seat Diesel AT miss out on?
- The HTX above it adds 10 airbags against 7, hill descent control, rear ventilated seats, head-up display and 1 more, for ₹3.80L more. That is a different engine or gearbox though: the HTX is not sold with this one. It would also cost you level 2 (core suite) ADAS and second-row captain seats, so it is not purely a step up.
- Is the HTK(A) 6-seat the right Sorento to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Kia Sorento which-variant page. The short answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
