Kia is already preparing an update for its 4th generation Sorento midsize crossover (codenamed MQ4), as confirmed by these spyshots from Shortscar. The Korean car blog.
The camouflage car was filmed near the Hyundai-Kia research center. Differences from the current model, which can be appreciated under a layer of dense fabric, relate to the design of the front, while the rear lights remain the same.
Speaking of the engine, no major changes can be expected as Hyundai Motor Group closed its internal combustion engine division in December 2021. It was decided to spend the released funds on the development of electric units. So a small adjustment to comply with increasingly strict anti-pollution regulations is all that is likely to happen.
As for the interior, when you look at the latest facelifted models like the Telluride or the Seltos, you’d expect Kia to use the same curved glass with dual 12.3-inch screens and the latest safety features.
The renewed car in South Korea is expected before the end of 2023. European and American versions of the model will appear in 2024. Although in an environment where the entire world is faced with a shortage of semiconductors, it is difficult to predict whether these deadlines will be met.
In Russia, the current kia Sorento now sold at a price of 3,789,900 rubles.
