Since its official debut in 2002, Kia Sorento has sold more than 3 million units in the global market. Since the second-generation model, Kia Sorento has officially shed its off-road performance, showing itself as an urban SUV, and has become the main force behind its surge in sales.
With the arrival of the replacement life cycle, Kia also officially released the official preview of the fourth-generation Sorento a few days ago. According to Kia’s official information, the new generation of Kia Sorento will be officially released on March 3 this year.
Judging from the released preview images, the styling language of the new-generation Kia Sorento is consistent with the new-generation Kia series that debuted recently, extending the tiger-style air intake grille horizontally and integrating the image of the headlight in. At the rear of the vehicle, the new generation of Sorento also uses a lot of tough features to form the elements of the taillights. In general, in terms of details, the new generation of Sorento has more sense of technology.
As a medium-sized SUV, the new generation of Kia Sorento also continues the design of the short front and long body, so as to strengthen its visual sense of large size. In order to make the image of this long body not too procrastinating, the new generation of Kia Sorento is also embellished with independent chrome-plated bright strips at the position of the small rear trunk window, which breaks the overall sense of the side window features and has a good visual effect .
According to the information currently available, the new generation of Sorento will be developed based on Kia’s new SUV platform. The use of the new platform also enables the new generation of Kia Sorento to provide a larger interior space when facing competitors. In addition, the application of the new platform also makes the application of the hybrid system on the new generation Sorento more friendly.
How should I put it, the new generation of Sorento is still the kind of medium-sized SUV that can’t find any major problems. Of course, the hard-core off-road vehicle positioning on the first-generation Sorento that we have been thinking about for a long time is impossible to return.
Since the first generation of models, the relationship between Kia Sorento and the Chinese market has always been inseparable. Sales as imported cars have restricted its market expansion. Then the question arises, will the new generation of Sorento be made in China?
