What the HTX(A) Diesel AT costs on the road
The price above is the sticker. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the HTX(A) Diesel AT comes to ₹41,49,238 on the road in Ahmedabad and ₹47,65,278 in Kochi.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹6,16,040 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
It is not the dearest Sorento on sale though: the HTX Hybrid AT asks ₹38.99L.
At ₹38.49L ex-showroom Delhi this is the 10th of 11 Sorento variants by price, ₹1.00L above the HTX Diesel AT. HTX(A) is sold this one way, as the Diesel 8-speed torque-converter auto. There is no trim above HTX(A): money spent past this point buys powertrain, not equipment.
More about the HTX(A) trim
The top of the ladder this file models: everything HTX has, plus Kia's largest ADAS package on this car. Diesel AWD 7-seat only, added 2026-09-13; see header for the other HTX(A) configurations still not confirmed.
Kia Sorento HTX(A): the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Kia Sorento HTX(A) Diesel AT?
- ₹38.49L, ex-showroom Delhi. That makes it 10th of 11 by price, ₹1.00L above the HTX Diesel AT.
- What is the on-road price of the Kia Sorento HTX(A) Diesel AT?
- Expect ₹41,49,238 in Ahmedabad and ₹47,65,278 in Kochi. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹6,16,040 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the sticker 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 HTX(A) Diesel AT have?
- The Diesel, 193 PS, with the 8-speed torque-converter auto.
- What features does the Kia Sorento HTX(A) Diesel AT get?
- The kit worth naming on this trim: ADAS (Level 2 (full suite)), Head-up display, Hill descent control, Rear ventilated seats, Terrain modes and 360° camera.
- Is there anything above the HTX(A) on the Kia Sorento?
- No. HTX(A) is the top of the Sorento range, so money spent past this point buys a different engine or gearbox rather than more equipment.
- Is the HTX(A) 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 version: pay for a step only where the kit it adds is kit you would actually use.
