To celebrate this rugged personality, Kia unveiled a pair of custom-built Sorento SUVs - the Yosemite Edition and Zion Edition. The two wilderness-themed SUVs build upon the production Sorento X-Line model, a variant that highlights off-road prowess with unique 20-inch wheels, increased ride height to 8.3-inch, improved approach/departure angles, more advanced AWD with snow-mode, and a more robust roof rack than the outgoing Sorento.
Customized by LGE-CTE Motorsports of
San Dimas, CA, each vehicle receives its namesake and inspiration from
the outdoor environments found in America’s great national parks. The
Sorento Yosemite Edition is a dream build for high elevation adventuring
and mountain living, painted in “Pine Green” in a matte finish with
gloss and matte black accents. The Sorento Zion Edition is a desert
escape vehicle made for stomping dunes, painted in “Desert Sand” in a
gloss finish with gloss black accents.
Both feature custom
fender flares that sit atop 20-inch wheels and 32-inch all-terrain
tires. Body armor includes custom skid plates and brush guards in a
satin chrome finish. For packing gear, the Yosemite edition wears a
brawny roof rack, while the Zion Edition comes equipped with a
full-length cargo top. The duo will be making special appearances around
the country to capture the imagination of adventurers and enthusiasts,
alike.
While most customers will not take their Sorento to the
level of customization seen on the Yosemite and Zion Editions, many have
shown a penchant for personalizing their Kia SUVs. To satisfy that
desire, Kia will offer an exciting range of port-installed and
dealer-installed accessories. Customers can tailor their Sorento to
their lifestyle and needs with attachments such as roof rack crossbars,
tow hitches for trailers, and side steps for easier load-in of toys.
The 2021 Kia Sorento will arrive in showrooms beginning in November.
