Modern, yet iconic

The Sorento has evolved with a new interpretation of the unmistakable ‘tiger nose’ grille, displaying a wider shape which organically wraps around the integrated LED headlights on each side.

The sharper, more assertive appearance is complemented by a wider lower air intake, book ended by wing-shaped air curtains to channel air around the car.

Crafted to illuminate

Sleek and sharp LED headlights, powerfully designed to light the way, not only in the dark of night, but in broad daylight.

Alloy wheels

A muscular broad shape isn’t all that the Sorento has to offer; it’s bold look shines from top to bottom. The 19” machine finished alloy wheels sets the Sorento’s whole style off.

Contemporary and dynamic

The vertical LED tail lights wrap around the side of the body for a more striking presence on the road.
