Kia Sorento is classified in the mid-size SUV segment, competing with Hyundai Santa Fe, Mazda CX-8, Toyota Fortuner, Ford Everest and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport. Among them, the most comparable competitor to the Sorento is Santa Fe.
In the first 3 months of 2022, the Korean model sold 1,289 vehicles, ranking 3rd in the segment. Sorento is selling well because it is assembled in the country, enjoys a 50% discount on registration fees until the end of May 31, but compared to rival Santa Fe, sales are much lower. Therefore, the price increase and not updating the new Hybrid this time may make Sorento less competitive compared to Santa Fe – a model also assembled domestically.
