Now in its third year of production, Kia’s Sorento crossover is getting ready for its first mid-life facelift, possibly for the 2013 model year.
Judging by these spy pictures of a prototype model being trialed in Europe, we will see changes to the front fascia with newly designed headlamps featuring the very BMW-like “eyebrow” accents on top, as seen on recent Kia models such as the Cee’d hatchback, together with a tweaked grille and a new bumper design.
Given the amount of camouflage applied to the test car’s rear end, it’s reasonable to assume that the Sorento facelift should get restyled taillights and a different rear bumper as well.
Some minor tweaks are also expected in the cabin, though we’ll have to wait for our spies to get up, close and personal to the prototypes and capture shots of the interior for more specific details.
