Set to be fully revealed sometime towards the end of August in Korea, the all-new Kia Sorento has shown its lines for the first time.
What the vehicle will look like is no longer a mystery, since its shape is clearly visible in the artist’s sketch shown in the official teaser video and photos below.
Kia says it has “swept back exterior styling,” the collaborative effort of the brand’s Korean, German and American design arms.
The model will make its official public debut in the metal at the Paris motor show; October 2 is the date set for this occasion.
Highlights of its design include “a lower roofline, higher beltline, more muscular stance, rounded shoulders at the rear, and deeply sculpted body surfaces.”
As far as inspiration goes, the front looks like a BMW/Jaguar cross of sorts, with some Kia-ness to it. Not excessively original, but it does looks sleek for what it is.
