Kia has just updated the Sorento SUV for the 2018
model year in its home country and while the changes are small, they’re fairly
noticeable.
At the front, the 2018 Kia Sorento adopts a slightly
revised chrome grille and a pair of more refined LED headlights with
incorporated daytime running lights. When paired with new quad fog lights on
either side of the bumper, gloss black air intake surrounds and the brown of
this launch car, the Sorento looks much classier than the current model.
At the rear, new taillights with a more complex
design have been fitted alongside a re-modelled roof spoiler and twin
tailpipes. Different wheels help to complete the modifications. In South Korea,
the 2018 Sorento will be offered with a 2.2-liter diesel and a 2.0-liter
turbocharged petrol engine, both paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Kia has yet to say if or when the facelifted Sorento
will be introduced to other markets.
