What the HTX 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 Diesel AT comes to ₹40,42,238 on the road in Ahmedabad and ₹46,42,278 in Kochi.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹6,00,040 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
At ₹37.49L ex-showroom Delhi this is the ninth of 11 Sorento variants by price, ₹3.30L above the HTK 6-seat Hybrid AT. It is also the cheapest of the 2 ways into HTX: the same kit as the HTX Hybrid AT for ₹1.50L less. Stepping up to HTX(A) from here starts at ₹1.00L more and buys level 2 (full suite) ADAS.
More about the HTX trim
AWD standard with Snow/Sand/Mud terrain modes, 10 airbags, front and rear ventilated seats and a head-up display, one step below the ADAS package.
Kia Sorento HTX: the questions people ask

- ₹37.49L, ex-showroom Delhi. That makes it 9th of 11 by price, ₹3.30L above the HTK 6-seat Hybrid AT.
- What is the on-road price of the Kia Sorento HTX Diesel AT?
- Expect ₹40,42,238 in Ahmedabad and ₹46,42,278 in Kochi. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹6,00,040 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 Diesel AT have?
- The Diesel, 193 PS, with the 8-speed torque-converter auto.
- What features does the Kia Sorento HTX Diesel AT get?

- What does the Kia Sorento HTX Diesel AT miss out on?
- The HTX(A) above it adds level 2 (full suite) ADAS, for ₹1.00L more.
- Is the HTX 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.
