At the beginning of August that the South Korean manufacturer will officially unveil the new version of its large SUV Sorento. Kia Motors talks about the third generation Sorento (the current version Mk2 is already over 6 years), but we'll see over here a big facelift and a beautiful aesthetic and technical novelty than a real change.
Born there will soon be six years, the current model is a little worth in markets where competition is stepping on each new innovation, modern in design, equipment or engines. The suspension is fully reviewed, as the braking system or management.
The interior is also expected to evolve as well in its design and in its quality of finish or standard equipment. We will have it all to help the Sorento to exist in the markets, especially in Europe, where he faces a strong existing supply (191 Sorento were delivered in France in 2013).
In terms of engines, we should find the classic 2.2 IDRC 197 hp Euro 6 standards and put on a new hybrid offering that should give EV interest and appeal to SUV. It should be in 2015, a Sorento Hybrid develop around the L4 engine 2.3-liter petrol.
