Facts have proved that the second-generation Kia Sorento’s decisive move to become an urban SUV is very correct. Since the second-generation model, Kia Sorento has clearly become a mainstream mid-size SUV. And when time entered the third decade of the 21st century, the fourth-generation Kia Sorento also officially debuted.
According to Kia’s plan, the new generation of Sorento will officially debut at the Geneva International Motor Show, but in the Korean market, the official pictures and related information of the new generation of Sorento have been released in advance. Compared with the third-generation model, the new fourth-generation Sorento has undergone a comprehensive iteration from the platform to the shape.
On the whole, the new generation of Kia Sorento will obviously be more agile than the current model, which is largely due to the new styling language and the design of the characteristic surface, which makes its overall vehicle size compared to the old one. Under the premise that the number of new models has increased, it does not appear to be so bloated.
The use of a new platform has significantly improved the hard point of the new-generation Sorento platform. According to Kia’s official information, the position between the A-pillar and the front axle of the new-generation Sorento has been moved back by 30mm compared to the third-generation model. .
This also makes the front of the new-generation Sorento look more slender. At the same time, the size of the front and rear overhangs has also been significantly compressed, so the proportion of the vehicle is no longer the bloated feeling of a traditional medium-sized SUV.
In terms of details, the new generation of Sorento uses Kia’s new generation of family design to further evolve the tiger-style air intake grille into the visual subject of the front of the vehicle, and integrate LED headlights into it.
It is worth mentioning that the shape of the new LED headlights is also smart enough. The trim of the C-pillar is a finishing touch of the vehicle. At the rear of the vehicle, the split vertical taillights also invisibly strengthen the lateral width of the rear of the new-generation Kia Sorento.
In terms of interior, Kia has also made large-scale revisions to the design of the new generation of Sorento. In addition to looking more refined and luxurious than before, the interior space of the new generation of Sorento is also more spacious. Space in the first and third rows, as well as in the trunk, is better balanced.
In addition, in terms of configuration, the new car also strengthens the refinement of the sense of technology. An important feature is that the new generation of Sorento replaces the shift handle with a knob-type shifter, and two large-size LCD monitors placed horizontally.
Since the first generation of models, Kia Sorento has been sold in the Chinese market as an imported car. However, with the closure of Kia’s imported car sales network, Kia Sorento has also left the sight of the Chinese market in recent years. So, will this new generation of Sorento be made in China? In other words, if it is made in China, will you buy it?
