Remodeled for Perfection
Shapely, sharp, and stunning, the 2017 Kia Sorento’s redesign is intended to turn heads. Its front fascia, stainless steel bumper trim, and prominent front tiger-nose grille add to its curvy profile. Coupled with its broad wheelbase and impressive overall shape, the Sorento has more room than ever. Up to seven people can occupy its spacy cabin.
Just as noteable are the 10-spoke, 19-inch chrome-finish alloy wheels, which let you drive in style. High-Intensity Discharge Projector Beam Headlights cut through even the dimmest conditions. A Smart Power Liftgate allows you access to your trunk even if your hands are full. You just need your smart key.
