What the HTX Hybrid AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the HTX Hybrid AT comes to ₹42,00,561 on the road in Ahmedabad and ₹48,24,601 in Kochi.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹6,24,040 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 ₹38.99L ex-showroom this is the dearest of the Sorento's 11 variants, ₹50,000 over the HTX(A) Diesel AT beneath it. The same HTX features start at ₹1.50L less as the HTX Diesel AT; the extra here buys the Hybrid with the 6-speed torque-converter auto. Worth a hard look before you sign: the HTX(A) actually costs ₹50,000 less than this variant and buys level 2 (full suite) ADAS. Worth knowing that the HTX(A) is not sold with the Hybrid with the 6-speed torque-converter auto, so the move changes the powertrain too.
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
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Kia Sorento HTX Hybrid AT?
- ₹38.99L, ex-showroom. That makes it the dearest of the 11, ₹50,000 above the HTX(A) Diesel AT.
- What is the on-road price of the Kia Sorento HTX Hybrid AT?
- Expect ₹42,00,561 in Ahmedabad and ₹48,24,601 in Kochi. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹6,24,040 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 HTX Hybrid AT have?
- The Hybrid, 230 PS, with the 6-speed torque-converter auto.
- What features does the Kia Sorento HTX Hybrid AT get?
- The features worth naming on this trim: Head-up display, Hill descent control, Rear ventilated seats, Terrain modes, 360° camera and Blind spot monitor.
- What does the Kia Sorento HTX Hybrid AT miss out on?
- The HTX(A) above it adds level 2 (full suite) ADAS, for ₹50,000 less. That is a different engine or gearbox though: the HTX(A) is not sold with this one.
- 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 answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
