By RELAXNEWS | 5 February 2020


NDON: Kia has published teaser sketches of the new Sorento after the SUV was spied completely undisguised on the road earlier this week.

Though these sketches aren't quite as revealing as the photographs published by Motor1 on Monday, the text accompanying the model sketches gives us some insight about its powertrain and technology.

The 2021 iteration of the Sorento, the first generation of which originally launched in 2002, is the first production version of the model to be electrified. It will be powered by a hybrid system just like a concept Sorento was back in 2007.

As seen in the spy shots and reiterated in these sketches, the new version of the Sorento has definitely been more chiselled.

The lines spanning from the front end to the rear have been sharpened, and the grille has been widened. In general, the contours have been reshaped to give the model a more dominant and sporty appearance.

According to Kia, the model will have "advanced driver assistance systems and progressive connectivity and infotainment features," though the company does not disclose exactly what tech will be included.

The official reveal of Kia's flagship SUV will take place next month at the Geneva Motor Show on March 3.
