El Kia Sorento It is the largest and most capable all-rounder offered by the Asian firm in Europe. The current generation, which is the third, reached the market in 2015. Still, despite the short time it has been on sale, it underwent a slight restyling in 2016. The reason is simple and is due to the speed with which the car segment is evolving. SUV's. For this reason, those responsible for the brand are already thinking about its generational change.
According to the product plan Kia, the fourth generation of Sorento should be presented in 2021.

The sighted units are heavily loaded with camouflage, so noticing the aesthetic change is complicated. The same is not true for your technique, since some details are already known about the mechanical which you will house under your front hood.
The new Sorento will premiere hybrid mechanics and PHEV
To give life to the new Sorento, the firm will make use of the platform it uses in the Telluride. This large all-roader is for sale in countries like the United States or China, but it is not known in Europe. This base is the same that gives life to the hyundai palisade and therefore, it has greater technological possibilities. In addition, it will allow its cabin to offer more interior space, keeping the seven seats intact.
The next Kia Sorento (with MQ4 internal code) will mark the beginning of a new era in the firm. To do this, it will launch a mechanical offer much more ambitious, modern and ecological. In this way, alternatives are expected to arrive hybrid e plug-in hybrids. These will be added to the thermal ones that we already know, and that in Europe will focus on CRDI diesel blocks.
Taking into account the basis on which it will be developed, it would not be surprising if the new Sorento looks like Telluride. Its lines will be more aggressive, but it will maintain elements that evolve, such as the TigerNose grille. However, there is still time for Kia to reveal images of the Sorento. It is not its best-selling model in Europe, but it manages to contain the stakes of its rivals.
