2015 Kia Sorento first view

Although the all-new 2015 Kia Sorento might not look any more modern than the current model, its stance and proportions have clearly changed.

The SUV has grown in length from 4,685 mm (15’ 4”) to 4,780 mm (15’ 8”), while overall height is down by 15 mm (0.6”) to 1,685 mm (5’ 6”). Furthermore, the wheelbase has been stretched by 80 mm (3.1”) which should make access to the second and third rows of seats slightly easier.

To go with those revised dimensions the beltline has been raised and there’s a much larger (but less elegant) front grille. Carried over styling cues include a long bonnet, thick D-pillars and scalloping along the doors.

Specification details have yet to be released, but Kia has announced that the 2015 Sorento is going to make its public debut in Korea later this month. An appearance at the Paris Motor Show will then follow in October.

UK deliveries are expected to begin during the spring of 2015.
