KIA Sorento 2013 - an updated version of the crossover, sales of which on the Ukrainian market began in December 2012. All modifications supplied to us have an all-wheel drive system by default. In the initial configurations, the Sorento has five seats, but seven are provided for the top version.
Distinguish the updated model from Sorento, introduced in 2009, is not so simple. Outwardly, restyling is expressed only in new headlights with upgraded optics, fog lights that have taken a vertical shape, and a modified tailgate with fresh lights that visually lighten the stern of a rather large car.
Inside, thanks to new finishing materials, there are more details that are pleasing not only to the eye, but also to the touch. Moreover, the engineers managed to make the cabin even a little more spacious. Passengers in the second row got three extra centimeters in the knee area.
The main changes are hidden inside the crossover. KIA Sorento received a redesigned suspension, most of the nodes of which are unified with the new Hyundai Santa Fe. Chassis upgrades were aimed at improving handling and ride comfort. Instead of "hydraulics", electric power steering is now used, thanks to which a car parking assistant is now included in the list of available active assistants.
But the range of engines for Ukraine remained the same - a 2.4-liter gasoline engine (176 hp) and a 2.2-liter diesel engine with 197 hp. As a gearbox, you can choose "mechanics" or automatic. In both cases, the units have six gears. In the future, the appearance of a new gasoline engine that produces 192 hp is not excluded. But for now, only Europeans will see it first.
Ground clearance KIA Sorento is 185 mm. Produced in South Korea.
