2016 Kia Sorento Video, First Look

The new Kia Sorento made its global debut at the Paris Motor Show, and our cameras were rolling so you could get a better look at this family friendly crossover.

The biggest change in this Sorento is how much more premium it looks. Long wrap-around headlights, prominent fog lamps and a larger more upright grille highlight the new look, while a swept back look helps the car look sportier and aggressive.

Inside you’ll see more leather and soft-touch materials, and a redesigned center stack. Interior space is enhanced, as passengers now get more headroom and legroom, while cargo space grows to 21.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. Five- or seven-passenger versions of the Sorento are available, with the second row using a 40/20/40 split.

Further refinement is found by way of a newly tuned suspension setup, a longer wheelbase and an updated bodyshell which is 14 percent stiffer. Interior noise is also said to be cut by 3 to 6 percent courtesy of new sound deadening in the dashboard and around the transmission tunnel.
