New Kia Sorento: 3rd generation model is longer, may have 7 seats

The first official images of the new third generation Kia Sorento have been release, and they show a longer and more grown up vehicle.


Kia isn’t saying too much about the car’s specifications, at the moment, but we do know that the new third-gen Sorento is longer and wider, but not quite as tall as the outgoing model.

Judging by the amount of space available behind the rear wheel, the new car may feature three rows of pews and seating for seven, but that’s yet to be confirmed.

A “diamond-studded” tiger-nose grille, bi-xenon headlights, LED driving lights, and LED tail-lights are the order the day, at least in high-spec models. Expect all-wheel drive to be an option on most models.
