First time we saw the next-generation Kia Sorento was back in August, in Death Valley. In addition to all the previous exterior shots we now have the first interior images as well.
New Sorento features unibody architecture instead if a separate body-on-frame chassis that’s been used in the previous Sorento vehicles. This mean better handling and improved fuel economy.
Kia Sorento will be first offered with a 2.4-liter gasoline or 2.0 and 2.2 liter diesel engines. No information will the diesel be offered in the states as well. 3.8-liter V6 that produces 260 hp will also be available soon after the launch.
Kia will introduce the new Sorento at the Geneva Motor Show next year, production is expected to start next spring at Kia’s plant in Georgia, USA.
