Kia's family SUV, the Sorento's, received a lot of updates. <v Kelsey>And here it is with us at the auto show. Visually, you can tell there's a lot more going on here down below. This is an SX limited model versus what used to be on the SX limited.
The quad fog lights sort of remain here, but there's a lot of different portals. Whether it's this thing here or this little section underneath, this chrome trim around it, I don't know, a lot going on, it seems a little bit busy for me compared to last year's Sorento SX limited. Headlights have been redesigned, tail lights as well. Now you get around to the inside. We'll take you through a few changes there. Not a whole lot was redesigned. Not a whole lot needed to be because the inside was fairly comfortable and fit and finish was good too. A seven inch screen is standard, eight inch screen optional. Apple CarPlay and Android auto are also standard. The climate controls have been lightly redesigned and the steering wheel, now a four spoke design instead of a three spoke design. Here's one missed opportunity, given that there's a standard third row, a slide in - sliding walk in feature to the third row, only comes on the passenger side in the Sorento. I don't know why Kia didn't take this opportunity to add it to the driver's side as well. Most Sorento competitors do have both sides access. Now you can get all this when the Sorento goes on sale in early 2018. So stay tuned for much more news closer to then.
