News: Facelifted Kia Sorento

New bumper and lights go well with the car
Kia is about to update the Kia Sorento with a reengineered bodyshell, improved handling as well as lowered fuel consumptions and CO2 emissions with its new engines. There will be three engine choices; a 2.0l four cylinder with 148 hp, a 2.2l turbodiesel that pushes 197 bhp and 436 Nm (421Nm on the manual) and a new 2.4l GDI petrol unit capable of 194 bhp and 242 Nm of torque. All the models get a choice of a 6 speed manual or auto together with its drive orientation - 2WD or 4WD. Clearly, the diesel is the winner and should be the most sought after variant.
I bet the tail lights would be really pretty when it lights up
Interior wise, you get an updated cabin with new moon roof arrangements, a slightly redesigned dashboard with a 7 inch LCD screen and updated bits and bobs in the SUV - nothing really outstanding really. The exterior also sports redesigned bumpers and light clusters and to be honest, looks a bit better than it does now. So, take my word and hold your horses first if you've decided to splurge your money on the Sorento now. Wait.
