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.
Speaking about the car, the company said “The performance and commerciality of Sorento has been steadily gaining popularity in the mid-size SUV market. We are expecting more love from our customers because it is even more luxurious.”
Kia has yet to say if or when the facelifted Sorento will be introduced to other markets.
