Refreshed Kia Sorento Gets LED DRLs, New Bumpers and 19in Wheels

Kia is refreshing the Sorento this fall with a slightly revised exterior and reworked interior. 

On the outside, Kia gave the Sorento new LED running lights, LED tail lights, redesigned bumpers, vertically-mounted fog lights and standard 19in wheels. Inside, the Sorento is available with either five or seven seats. It gets a new instrument cluster with an LCD display in the center, a new center console with a 7in screen, a new automatic transmission shifter with a straight gate and leather shift boot and larger panoramic sunroof than previously available.

"Since its introduction in 2009, the second-generation Kia Sorento has achieved more than 620,000 sales around the world.  Today, it is manufactured in Korea and the USA, attracting over 130,000 U.S. customers last year to rank as the best-selling Kia model in the States for the second year in a row. We have given very careful attention to owners' feedback, and the upgraded Sorento is not just a cosmetic exercise but a major step forward for our popular SUV," said Thomas Oh, Kia's Chief Operating Officer.

Kia has not announced prices for the updated Sorento, but it will go on sale in the fall.
