2020 Kia Sorento: mature and desirable

Kia Sorento to be revealed on Facebook live

With the 2020 Sorento, Kia has looked to inject some maturity and coolness. It unashamedly borrows some style from the larger and more luxurious Telluride.

Kia says the design is centred around ‘refined boldness’. Stylish, elegant, but still sturdy and tough-looking. The ‘sharper lines, high-tech details, and elongated proportions’ lend the new Sorento a ‘more confident and mature presence’.

The A-pillar is 30mm further back from the front axle, allowing a more ‘cab-rearward’ design. The redesign continues on the inside, with updated infotainment and a move towards a premium feel.

The Sorento is getting a big update under the skin, with a selection of ‘Smartstream’ electrified powertrains. This will be the first Sorento to boast hybrid power.
