Kia has just released the first commercial video of the 2013 Sorento, ahead of its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.
According to the South Korean carmaker, the Sorento facelift comes with changes to the front and rear, including a new front fascia with a new front bumper, standard projection headlights, LED daytime running lamps, a new rear bumper and 19-inch wheels.
Motivation is provided by a 2.2-liter CRDi diesel engine which produces 195 horsepower and 422 Nm of torque at 1,800 rpm. Power is sent to the all-wheel drive via a manual or automatic transmission, allowing the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 9.4 seconds before hitting a top speed of 189 km/h.
"We have given very careful attention to owners’ feedback, and the upgraded Sorento is not just a cosmetic exercise but a major step forward for our popular SUV," said Kia’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Thomas Oh.
