Modern, powerful styling with a clear dynamic look differentiates the all-new seven-seater Kia Sorento that makes its European debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month.
New Sorento is longer and lower than the current model and incorporates Kias new design DNA into its stand-out looks, while featuring a much more spacious and luxurious cabin. The 4,685 mm long SUV is also significantly sleeker than the previous model with an aerodynamic drag figure of Cd 0.38 " down from 0.43.
The most popular engine choice in Europe is expected to be the all-new 2.2-litre diesel unit from Kias ultra-modern R family of engines. This highly competitive unit produces 197 ps and 421 Nm of torque, and will be offered with either a six-speed manual or Kias all-new world-class six-speed automatic transmission.
“With the new Kia Sorento, we have created an all-new, Highline Cruiser that we believe offers buyers the benefits of an exciting all-rounder with a much broader appeal, commented Panu Vainamo, General Manager Marketing, Kia Motors Europe. “Kia engineers have ditched the original Sorentos body-on-frame structure and designed an all-new monocoque bodyshell " achieving a weight loss of up to 215 kg, greatly improving fuel economy and contributing to a more controlled ride than expected from a 4x4.
The new Sorentos ride and handling balance has been biased more towards on-road sophistication but without ignoring the original models renowned off-road talents. High-tech features will include keyless entry, an engine start button, in-mirror reversing camera and a panoramic glass sunroof.
