Car News / Next-Gen Kia Sorento spy photos
Having already facelifted the Kia Sorento in 2006, Hyundai’s sister company Kia has begun testing the next-generation SUV in the hot deserts of the United States.
As we can see from these pictures, the Sorento will be growing but not enough to accommodate three rows of seating, which will be left to the yet bigger Kia Borrego.
In addition to the larger size, the Sorento is rumoured to move a little more upscale with an increase in price accompanied by better specification and bigger engines.
We expect to have more news about the new Sorento before the year’s end.

I prefer the current shape. Current Sorento in diesel guise is the best bang for buck of all the mid sized 4×4’s. Very much underrated.
It looks a bit odd – hopefully you can remove the black plastic bits
Top gear man (THE BIG BOOFHEAD)gave it a bad rap. Then again it ain’t no Pagani Zonda.LOL.
the current model kia sorento, particularly in diesel guise, is actually one of the most underrated cars on the road at the moment! I drove one and it impressed the hell out of me, and i thought it was going to be a reasonable 4WD, didn’t realise that it was a pretty close shade behind the pajero and prado! And in my opinion nicer to drive then the current pathfinder
Nearly bought one of the current models – diesel EX-L last year.
Just didn’t quite offer enough to deter me from keeping the trusty Jackaroo.
The next Kia will have to be bloody good to beat the forthcoming return of the Mitsubishi Challenger, though.
I also reckon they’ll overdo the price hike (getting too big for their Korean boots too quickly) – any more than the current $45,000 even puts it into the Pajero’s turf, and that’s just ridiculous.
Verdict? FAIL. Even without available specifications.
reckless – i think the next mitsubishi challenger is going to be a very good thing!
