Kia Sorento 2018: the new Sportage big brother
Kia has carried out a slight but interesting “restyling” of its large SUV, the Sorento. The changes come so far, to your local market. What we also see in Europe?
The Kia Sorento is the SUV larger than the brand marketed in Spain (in other markets sells Kia Mohave even bigger). his third generation, which came to our roads in March 2015, receives now one purely aesthetic upgrade, but currently restricted to South Korean market.
Thus, the Kia Sorento, that South Korea is marketed under five or seven seats inside (in Spain only seven), has been renewed in its glimpses abroad and in the cockpit. Outside, the South Korean SUV presents several changes in its frontal: Bumpers, grille, headlights Full LED, fog lights in the style of the Sportage also with ledes- technology and a new location of the flashing lights.
In its profile view, changes come from the tires 19 inches -of new invoice-, while the back and we found a renewed bumpers, a new optical groups ledes and two new exhaust with chrome finish.

The updated Kia Sorento also presents novelties in its inside: You can choose a leather seating with heated and ventilated function, the steering wheel is also new and heated, finished in black piano trims, new shifter and the latest version of the information system and car entertainment.
Between technology Kia Sorento including behind this “restyling”, we find compatibility “Apple carplay” and “Android Auto” and different assistant driving assistance, such as lane keeping system, adaptive cruise control, the warning blind spot and so on.
It remains to be seen whether these changes arrive at Kia Sorento European market. It is hoped that yes, so we’ll have to wait a while to know. Perhaps for Frankfurt Motor Show?
