Our verdict

These two split the decision: the Kia Sorento is रु 11,10,000 cheaper ex-showroom (6.5%), while the Toyota Corolla Cross is ahead on dealer and service reach — so the answer depends on which of those you are buying for.

Choose the Kia Sorento if
  • the ex-showroom price is your binding constraint
  • you want the stronger powertrain for hill climbs and overtaking

Measured: 65.9 PS more power.

Choose the Toyota Corolla Cross if
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live
  • you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 15 more service centres in Nepal (45 vs 30); 10 more showrooms in Nepal (53 vs 43).

Every figure in this verdict is computed from the table below — the same ex-showroom prices, variant specifications and Nepal service network the page publishes. Nothing here is an estimate, and where a figure is missing on one side the axis is left out rather than guessed.
