Kia Motors had unveiled the new-generation Sorento SUV for the global markets earlier this year. The new model joins the brand’s new breed of SUVs including the Seltos, Sonet and the Telluride. The company claims that the all-new 2021 Sorento will bring a new level of trail-ready toughness not yet seen from the brand.
Kia Motors America has also unveiled a pair of custom-built Sorento SUVs – The Yosemite Edition and the Zion Edition – during the brand’s virtual national dealer meeting.
These two rugged SUVs built upon the production Sorento X-Line model, a variant that highlights off-road prowess with unique 20-inch wheels, increased ride height to 208mm, improved approach/departure angles, more advanced AWD with snow-mode, and a more robust roof rack than the outgoing Sorento.
Customized by LGE-CTE Motorsports of San Dimas, CA, each vehicle receives its namesake and inspiration from the outdoor environments found in America’s great national parks. The Sorento Yosemite Edition is build for high elevation adventuring and mountain living. It is painted in “Pine Green” in a matte finish with gloss and matte black accents.
The Kia Sorento Zion Edition is a desert escape vehicle, which is designed and developed for stomping dunes, painted in “Desert Sand” in a gloss finish with gloss black accents. Both custom-built Sorento X-Line features 20-inch wheels and 32-inch all-terrain tires.
The new models come with custom skid plates and brush guards in a satin chrome finish. For packing gear, the Yosemite edition dons a brawny roof rack, while the Zion Edition comes equipped with a full-length cargo top.
Kia Motors will also offer an exciting range of port-installed and dealer-installed accessories. Customers can customise their Sorento to their lifestyle and can attach roof rack crossbars, two hitches for trailers and side steps.
