The Koreans from Kia announced their intentions to reveal the 2013 Sorento, namely the refreshed variant of the popular crossover.
The European customers should be able to order the new Sorento starting this fall with a total of three engine choices.
The base model is powered by a 2.0-liter diesel offering 148hp, a more powerful 2.2-liter with 195hp and a 2.4-liter petrol direct-injection unit delivering 194 horses.
In terms of styling, the new Sorento comes with revised bumpers, new LED daytime running lights, reworked optical blocks and more. Inside, there is a new instrument cluster but also new materials and trim.
“We integrated a lot of customer feedback in the facelifted version. And the result is far more than mere cosmetics: It’s a new Kia model and a major step forward for our popular SUV,” says the company.
More details including pricing and availability for the 2013 Kia Sorento facelift to be revealed next month at Paris.
