This is one of the best times of the year for paparazzi to go “hunting” for the next four-wheeled novelties, or we weren't just a few months away from the month of September (a month full of new releases).
This is exactly what happened in South Korea, with Kia Sorento being caught with barely any camouflage. As seen by the only image released by Kia World, the main change occurs in the front bumper, with a renewed design and new fog lights. Ah! And let's not forget that the optical assembly will feature (increasingly common) daytime LEDs.
It's not noticeable in this image, but we believe the Sorento's rear also undergoes some design changes to keep up with the front styling update. Still, you can see that Kia has made an effort not to alter the “tiger style” DNA of the front grille and the shape of the headlamps, which is important not to lose the identity of this model.
If what we said (here) three months ago isn't wrong, this Kia Sorento will have the same engines as the new Hyundai Santa Fé, a 2.2 liter turbo gasoline engine with 274 hp and another 2.0 a diesel engine. debit 150hp.
