A strong exterior design refresh gives the new Kia Sorento a striking on- and off-road appearance. The latest model to embody Kia’s Opposites United design philosophy, the D-segment SUV represents the Bold for Nature pillar, demonstrating how nature and modernity can co-exist.
The new Kia Sorento features an updated exterior design meant to embody futuristic boldness for a more premium look. At the front, a new bonnet design implements an upscaled SUV design with a higher volume and a more defined silhouette. The Kia logo has additionally been moved to the top of the hood. Unique vertical headlamps and star map DRLs emphasise a progressive and high-tech image, as does a new radiator grille design with a 3D mesh pattern.
Together, the vertical geometry of the headlamp and taillamp graphics create a visual harmony and emphasise a capable and solid look as an SUV. Sequential front turn signals complete the high-tech look. The redesigned front lower bumper exudes robustness and confidence, with a wide skid plate, redesigned fog lamps, and a vertical air intake garnish underlining a strong and technical image.
To the side, a new fender garnish design features increased 3D looks. The new Sorento also comes with three new wheel designs: 18-, 19-, or 20-inch alloy wheels. The 18- and 20-inch alloy wheels are only available for the internal combustion engine (ICE) Sorento, while the 19-inch alloy wheels are available on all powertrain variations. The 17-inch alloy wheels are still available for both the hybrid and ICE Sorento.
The rear of the vehicle, meanwhile, features a refreshed taillight design with diagonal LEDs. The vertical taillamp star map graphics, created by connecting two distinct taillamps, emphasise the design-connectivity of the Kia Sorento’s new look. The slim-type LED high-mounted stop light (HMSL) suggests a high-tech and high-class image, while the updated rear bumper and exhaust garnish give it a more rugged look. The wide and present rear skid plate, meanwhile, combined with graphic elements of the black cladding, creates a solid and present SUV image.
The new Kia Sorento comes in 10 exterior colours in Europe, including three new colours: Volcanic Sand, Interstellar Grey (known from the EV6), and Cityscape Green (known from Niro). Clear White, Snow White Pearl, Aurora Black Pearl, Silky Silver, Gravity Blue, Steel Gray, and Mineral Blue will continue to be available.
In the interior, the Kia Sorento’s panoramic dimensions give a sense of infinite wideness. The wide, horizontal imagery is further emphasised by a minimal strip of interior mood lighting, stretching from coast to coast on the AC vent garnish. Available in 64 colours, this ambient lighting is visible along the dashboard, on the gear knob, and on the front door garnish. The curved display and the multimode touch display create a high-tech and modern feeling. The shift by wire gear knob has been redesigned, while a black headliner, metal pedals, and a panoramic sunroof give the new Sorento a technical, bold, and modern edge.
The new Sorento is also equipped with the latest comforts and conveniences, including new front relaxation seats, a Driver Ergo motion seat with air cell type lumbar support and power adjustable bolster support, and the option of memory function seats. The artificial leather steering wheel can be heated in winter and is also available with the option of tilt and telescopic electronic adjustment, adjusting its position up, down, closer, or further away. Power adjustable, ventilated, and heated front seats, as well as second row heated seats, ensure maximum in-vehicle comfort for everyone on board.
The new Kia Sorento is a symbol of balance, offering a safe, reliable, and relaxed drive. It offers maximum ease of mind and more responsible driving through electrified and efficient powertrains, as it comes with the choice of diesel, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid powertrain options.
The Sorento Plug-in Hybrid comes with a 1.6 T-GDI engine and a 13.8 kWh battery paired with a six-speed automatic transmission (6AT). It comes with 4WD as standard. The Sorento Hybrid, meanwhile, comes with a 1.6 T-GDI engine and a 1.49 kWh battery, also paired with a 6AT and available with either 2WD or 4WD. In addition, a 2.2 diesel engine comes coupled with an eight-speed dual clutch transmission (8DCT) and is available with 2WD or 4WD.
