Unlike many new car models, this thankfully is not just another predictable cosmetic refresh. The United States manufactured Kia Sorento has been entirely reengineered and redesigned for 2016. Within the Sorento’s modestly evolved exterior, you can expect to discover a significantly roomier and refined interior with a whole host of new technology and safety features.
Sorento Style
There has been some meaningful change with every aspect of the new 2016 Kia Sorento. You can expect to see each and every inch of sheetmetal and every single piece of trim changed. A new body design and structure, an available and exciting turbocharged four-cylinder engine, plus redesigned seating and let’s not forget to mention some new active-safety features. All these exciting new aspects of the Kia Sorento add up to a tremendously significant change once you take a moment to take it all in.
It’s clear to see that the Kia Sorento has most certainly received a fresh new look on the outside, although at first glance it is a clear evolution with a smooth integration that includes many great ideas from the Sorento’s rival models. The Sorento’s interior has also received a surprising clean up, with a neat and elegant look all around the cabin with new trims and materials that are incredibly attractive and appealing to touch.
The 2016 Kia Sorento still offers its popular third-row seat, which subsequently bumps its capacity from five people up to seven if you desire. The Sorento can be considered more spacious whether you choose to use the seven seats not, as all the Sorento models are three inches longer than the previous model. The wheelbase is also three inches longer and also slightly taller.
Sorento Safety
Not only does the Kia Sorento come with an entirely new body structure, it also comes with many more active safety items, which is music to the ears of many overwhelmed parents around the world.
The safety equipment on all of the new 2016 Sorento models include front seat mounted side airbags, Hill-Start Assist, electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability control anti-lock brakes, front active headrests and side curtain airbags that come with a rollover sensor.
The Sorento EX, SX, and SX-L models come with a back-up warning system. Nevertheless, there are an abundance of far more and advanced active-safety features. To start, there is the blind-spot warning system and also the rear cross-traffic alert, which are both included in the SX and SX-L models (however they are an optional on the EX model).
On top models of the Kia Sorento you can also expect to find several new exciting features:
? Smart Cruise Control
? Around View Monitor
? Forward Collision Warning System
? Lane Departure Warning System
