Longer, lower and wider, with an extended wheelbase, the new Sorento builds on the outgoing model, delivering a more premium look and feel, with more space and numerous innovative features. The new look is an evolution of the current vehicle, incorporating fresh visual elements inspired by the Kia Cross GT concept that debuted at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, carrying over the long hood and the distinctive treatment of the wide D-pillars from the previous generation.
This larger SUV will likely put even more competitive pressure on its rivals from Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chrysler and GM, and may even pull some buyers away from the lower-end German models.
