Let’s take a look at the key details of these upcoming SUVs.
Upcoming SUVs In India

The all-new Sierra will be offered with three engine options – petrol, diesel and electric. The petrol version will initially be introduced with an all-new 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, which will later be joined by the 1.5L turbo petrol engine. The diesel Sierra might borrow the 2.0L engine from the Nexon, while the Sierra EV might share its powertrains with the Harrier EV.

The SUV will feature Kia’s new ‘Opposite United’ design language and feature a new grille, slim and angular vertical DRLs and redesigned foglamps at the front end. The side and rear profiles will also receive significant changes. The interior might be upgraded with the triple screens (borrowed from the Syros) and several new features. However, the engine setup will remain unchanged.
