The overall appearance of the Kia Sorento is highlighted by the elegant simplicity of Sorento's styling... it's the way the cabin is crafted to provide comfort, safety and practicality in equal measures... and the skilful engineering that has created a crossover utility vehicle with car-like handling, performance and fuel economy.

 Overview
The Kia Sorento is a broad-shouldered expression of Kia's new "design language", blending emotion and sophistication with the comfort features and practicality of a family-friendly crossover SUV. Long, wide and low, the Sorento offers a European-inspired design that is sure to attract attention.

Kia's new trademark "signature grille" presents a modern face to the world that is consistent across our line-up.



Large alloy wheels - in 17- or 18-inch sizes - fill out the flared wheel wells, which are accented with black mouldings that run along the lower edges of the body.


Bold side-accent lines, and the unibody architecture provide a new way for the world to see you.



A standard rear spoiler on EX-V6 Luxury and SX models adds a sporty design cue to Sorento's large, easy-to-open tailgate.



Interior
While you are out on the open road, the Kia Sorento will make you feel right at home. The Kia Sorento is available with all kinds of pleasant surprises - like dual-zone automatic temperature control, a panoramic sunroof and all-wheel drive - that make it right for you. With beautiful accents and highlights you can feel at home, in any environment.

Drive with a cabin full of light with the Kia Sorento's available panoramic sunroof, featuring a power tilt-and-sliding front panel and fixed rear glass.



UVO - short for "your voice" - is Kia's remarkable new audio infotainment system that gives you handsfree, voice-activated control of your music sources and cell phone. Its voice recognition software "learns" your voice and stores up to two individual voice profiles. UVO also includes a digital jukebox with an in-dash hard drive to store your favourite songs.

The Kia Sorento comes with available 3rd row seating and for easy cargo hauling, the second - and third - row seats fold flat to give you plenty of room for big loads.


The luxury of a keyless, push-button ignition switch is standard on the LX-V6, SX and all EX Sorento models. Never will you need to search for your key again!
