The Sorento, which competes against models like the Nissan X-Trail, has been given its first major makeover in more than five years.
The new Sorento, which was designed at Kia's studios in Korea, Germany and the U.S., has been given a lower roofline, higher beltline, more muscular stance, rounded shoulders at the rear and deeply sculpted body surfaces.
It also gets the larger, more upright 'tiger-nose' grille as seen on other models in the company's range.
New Sorento will make its debut on October 2 at the Paris Motor Show and go on sale in Europe in the first half of next year.
