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.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
