LMC launched KIA Sorento in February, which has three different variants: the 2.4-liter Front Wheel Drive, 2.4L All-Wheel Drive, and 3.5L Front Wheel Drive.
As per the sources, another brand could enter the market in the coming days as well.
“Earlier, only three brands (i.e. Honda, Toyota, and Suzuki) dominated the auto segment but now consumers have more options. This has pushed automakers to improve their quality, options, and dynamics in order to remain competitive in the market,” said an auto-sector expert.
