CarDekho Says…
With eight options on offer, the Sorento’s colour palette offers something for everyone. On one hand you have the conventionally popular shades like the White, Grey and Black which give it an elegant and graceful personality. On the other hand, the Green and Red hues feel a lot more adventurous and energetic. However, our pick remains the Dark Gun Metal shade, which, with its unique matte finish will certainly help the SUV stand out on our roads.
