The front shows off a new interpretation of Kia’s signature ‘tiger nose’ grille, which is now wider and wraps around the integrated headlamps on each side. The headlamps get a new ‘tiger eye’ LED daytime running light incorporated into them, adding to the new Sorento’s sharp countenance..

In profile, the proportions of the Sorento have been adapted to make it appear longer, with shorter front and rear overhangs and a longer wheelbase. The new design also extends the length of the bonnet, drawing the A-pillar 30mm further back from the front axle for a more ‘cab-rearward’ design.
