Kia reveals first photos of third generation Sorento

2016-kia-sorento-01-1

We’ve seen the teaser images, but now Kia has finally revealed the finished form of its upcoming Kia Sorento.

The new Sorento has been completely redesigned and incorporates fresh visual elements inspired by the Kia Cross GT concept that debuted at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, carrying over the long bonnet and the distinctive treatment of the wide D-pillars from the previous generation.

The front of new Sorento features a larger, more upright ‘tiger-nose’ grille, with a distinctive three-dimensional diamond pattern, and long, swept-back headlamps. The lower roofline, higher beltline and more muscular, rounded shoulders at the rear give the car a dramatic appearance.

The sleeker look is enhanced by an increase in length (+95 mm to 4,780 mm) and a 15 mm reduction in height (down to 1,685 mm), while the 80 mm longer wheelbase (now 2,780 mm) providing more passenger space in all three seat rows.

The all-new Kia Sorento will be showcased in Korea in late August and will make its European première on October at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
