Launched in the fall of 2020, The Sorento, which sits at the top of Kia’s European rangeradically changed his approach. Goodbye, restrained and balanced style, this time he wanted to be noticed. And it works. What a look compared to her previous look! With his uneven features and muscular silhouette, he would look almost scary, but it suits him well. And the best surprise is on board, for now Kia interiors of that time often lacked individuality, that Sorento matches its appearance. It radiates character and strength.

From the point of view of technology, Kia has no complexes. Because whether in matter infotainment system or driver aids, nothing was lost.

But wait till you see its updated version…

The profile and rear are less overtly developed, content to look at details (crimes, discs, etc.) to note the difference. However, on board it is a metamorphosis. Sorento, in turn, uses a digital instrument panel consisting of two screens put together to look like one. Physical control disappears in favor of a multifunctional sensory headband as we know it on the Niro, EV6 and Sportage in particular.
