And exactly which of these things came as a surprise to you?

It is a van indeed. No matter what you say sir. A simple 7 seater people mover, comfortable and spacious. That's about all.

everything else a side ... the shape is a major let down for me

They should have waited for new model to become available in CKD, incentives wouldn't have mattered as people would have run after it just for the looks even if priced same as a fortuner. How a car looks is really important in Pakistan, all the comfort, driving, practicality, pricing arguments are a second consideration especially at this end of the market.

This shape is WoW & likeable, it always takes some time to penetrate into the market.

Kia must offer some rebates like they did in the Sportage earlier.

Where are Sorentos? I haven't seen a single one on road as yet! When are deliveries starting?

engineerjibran (Jibran) 2021-03-30 01:03:28 +0500 #570

I dont understand why kia launched old generation of sorento , its not cheap and the people who can buy 85 lac vehicle can also buy 1 crore vehicle. They should have launched the latest generation. This shape looks like a van anyway.

Sorento deliveries will starts mid may onwards.

In my opinion Kia carnival is a much better option compared to fully loaded sorento
Kia Carnival looks wayy better and is much more modern

Carnival new gen >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sorento.

SpeedDemon (SpeedDemon) 2021-03-30 14:12:27 +0500 #575

The Grand Carnival, Sportage and Sorento all have a very similar design language and probably a lot of common parts in the interior.

Maybe they avoided bringing an all new Sorento because it make their best seller - the
Sportage look outdated.

Maybe down the years, they will update their whole lineup with new shapes and interiors and keep the design language similar across their lineup.

The NEW CARNIVAL is a CBU, low volume seller but a FLAGSHIP model in Pakistan and probably a preview for things to come in the future (in terms of equipment, finish, quality and design). So good marketing strategy on that front!

Cheers.

Are we going to see any Sorento on roads or was it just a scam only?

uzairfan (Uzair Irfan ) 2021-04-13 12:15:12 +0500 #578

Deliveries start late April or May

zuhaibafzal 2021-04-13 12:34:59 +0500 #579

bilal49er (B I L A L) 2021-04-13 12:44:15 +0500 #580

not seen a single unit on roads in Karachi

an_average_car_user (An Average Car User) 2021-04-13 13:11:03 +0500 #581

Any information on number of units sold? Or any other indication of how this car has been received so far?

Me and a friend booked together and got our vehicles today. Super happy with the ride comfort, build quality and throttle response on my AWD. Showroom had other Sorentos getting ready too, so we should start seeing them on the roads soon. I booked the day bookings started and the delivery estimate on my PBO was May.
