Kia: The Sorento is still available as a diesel
FIVE OR SEVEN SEATS The new Kia Sorento features a refreshed design with new colors and materials. In addition to hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, diesel versions are still available in the range.
The refreshed design makes the Kia Sorento a stately presence on and off the road. The redesigned hood, vertical headlights and Star Map daytime running lights characterize the front end - as does the radiator grille with 3D mesh pattern. The rear features a revised LED tail light design with lights in Star Map graphics. The Sorento's color palette is complemented by the three new colors Volcanic Sand, Interstellar Grey and Cityscape Green.
Heated reclining front seats
The ambient lighting, which can be set in 64 colors, can be seen along the dashboard, on the gear knob and on the front door panels. The curved 12.3-inch display and the 12.3-inch multi-mode touchscreen convey a high-tech impression. Vehicle and traffic information can also be called up via a 10-inch head-up display. New ventilated and heated reclining front seats with lumbar support and memory function ensure comfort. Reusable PET materials are used for the interior trim. The new Sorento is also available with fingerprint recognition, which links the driver's profile and enables the engine to be started.
Modern drives and all-wheel drive
All variants of the Kia Sorento are equipped with all-wheel drive as standard. The plug-in hybrid is still equipped with a 1.6-liter T-GDI engine, 6-speed automatic transmission and 13.8 kWh battery. The hybrid with 1.6-liter T-GDI engine, 6-speed automatic transmission and 1.49-kWh battery is also still on offer. The smooth-running 2.2-liter diesel engine with 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and a maximum towing capacity of 2500 kilograms rounds off the range.
The new Sorento will be available in Switzerland in the spring. It comes with the factory warranty of seven years or 150,000 kilometers as standard and also has seven years of Kia Connect on board as standard.
