The Kia Sorento is on its way to a large-scale modernization that will bring it in line with the marque’s other recent vehicles, Korean Car Blog reports publishing what appears to be the first image of the SUV.
There has been no official announcement from Kia, so the teaser pic could leak online by accident. At any rate, we should expect more info coming soon, including from the manufacturer itself.
It seems that the new Sorento takes much after the all-electric EV9 Concept: note especially the updated radiator grille, front bumper and Y-pattern headlights. Insiders claim that the taillights will get new signatures while retaining their old shape.
Inside, there will be a large dual display underpinned by upgraded infotainment hardware, a new steering wheel and improved trim materials, rumors say. The engine range will stay the same except for minor fuel economy optimizations. Unlike the latest Hyundai Santa Fe, the Sorento will most likely retain a diesel engine option.
