New Kia Sorento (Skoda Kodiaq Rival) First Official Images Revealed
Kia Motors has released the first official images of the new-generation Kia Sorento. The SUV is scheduled to make its public debut at the 2020 Geneva International Motor Show.
The fourth generation Kia Sorento will directly rival the Skoda Kodiaq and others in the global markets. It comes with all-new styling, which has some similarities with the larger Kia Telluride. The SUV features more sculpted design rather than the round-edged predecessor. The SUV gets sharper lines and bold creases all around the body.
The front looks bolder, thanks to the Kia’s signature ‘Tiger Nose’ grille, and wider integrated headlamps. The company claims that the headlamps feature a new ‘tiger eye’ LED daytime running lights. The company has also altered the proportions of the Sorento to make it look longer. It features shorter front and rear overhangs and a longer wheelbase.

Kia has released the single interior image, which seems largely similar to the predecessor. It gets a new larger infotainment touchscreen system, a new digital instrument console, and new air-con vents and buttons. It gets metallic trims, leather upholstery and embossed wood-effect surfaces. The SUV has a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with an audio-visual navigation, and a new 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Also See – Kia Seltos X-Line Explained in a Hindi Video
