(SEOUL) February 17, 2020 – Kia Motors Corporation has revealed the first official images of the new Kia #sorento today, ahead of its first public appearance at the 2020 Geneva International Motor Show.
 
The concept of ‘refined boldness’ inspired Kia’s designers, who sought to maintain the robust, tough-looking aesthetic of earlier generations of #sorento, while applying a greater degree of refinement and elegance. More stylish than ever, the Sorento’s redefined #design incorporates sharper lines and uninterrupted surfaces, making it noticeable more sculpted than its more round-edged predecessor. With more contemporary geometric details and more swept-back, elongated proportions, the result is a more confident, more mature and more desirable #design than ever.
 
The more assertive ‘face’ of the #sorento evolves, too, with a new interpretation of Kia’s hallmark ‘tiger nose’ grille. Wider and more expansive, it wraps organically around the integrated headlamps on each side. The headlamps themselves feature a new ‘tiger eye’ LED daytime running light, adding extra focus to the #design by depicting the intense impression of the lines around a tiger’s eyes.
 
In profile, the proportions of the #sorento are subtly adapted to make it appear longer, with shorter front and rear overhangs and a longer wheelbase. Its new proportions also extend the length of the bonnet, drawing the A-pillar 30 mm further back from the front axle for a more ‘cab-rearward’ #design. The trailing edge of the hood wraps around the front wings and turns into a single, strong character line which extends along the side of the #sorento and flows into the new vertical tail lights.
 
Inside, the attractive, upscale cabin of the new Kia #sorento introduces a sophisticated new #design, incorporating cutting-edge infotainment, supreme practicality, and premium-grade materials. One of the highest quality interior spaces found in any Kia to-date, the intuitive, tech-oriented cabin of the new #sorento retains the spaciousness and three-row versatility that has characterised the #sorento over its 18-year existence. Yet it now provides owners with something altogether more striking, desirable and comfortable.
 
The cabin introduces a sophisticated next-generation #design. Blending metallic trims, leather upholstery and embossed wood-effect surfaces, the interior also subtly integrates other technologies to enhance connectivity, driver assistance and infotainment.
 
The #sorento comes with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system incorporating an audio-visual navigation. It also comes with a new 12.3-inch high-resolution digital instrument cluster that provides crystal-clear information to the driver. The progressive technologies available in the new model make it the most high-tech vehicle Kia has ever created.
 
The #sorento sits at the heart of Kia’s reinvigorated global #SUV line-up, which also includes the Seltos, Stonic, Sportage, and Telluride. The new model is the result of a collaborative effort between all three studios within Kia’s global #design network, in Korea, Europe and North America. The next-generation model is based on an all-new platform, raising standards in the midsize #SUV segment for space, practicality, efficiency and quality.
 
Designed and engineered to take on everything life can throw at it, the new #sorento will make its debut on March 3, 2020.
