Top 10 best large SUVs to buy 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe base hybrid, with its 1.49kWh battery, comes with a lower 226bhp output and is available with both front and all-wheel drive formats. Kia has also retained the 190bhp 2.2-litre diesel option in Europe, again with front or all-wheel drive, though here power is run through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. It\u2019s as yet unknown whether the UK will offer the diesel option.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The external changes are limited to a more modern light treatment, taking the lead from Kia\u2019s new EV9 electric SUV, featuring bold T-shaped LED daytime running lights and hidden, stacked LED headlights. The front grille is larger, while the bumpers have been reprofiled with a wider skid plate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rear changes are more subtle, but feature more minimalist light clusters, very much in tune with the Star Map theme at the front featuring thin, vertical LEDs. The Sorento badge has also been repositioned, alongside more bumper reprofiling. Kia\u2019s also added some new exterior colours to the range, plus new wheels between 18 and 20-inches.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Inside, there\u2019s been a major tech upgrade with more than a hint of the smaller Sportage model and, again, the EV9. A panoramic curved display with twin 12.3-inch screens features Kia\u2019s latest operating system which promises more features and faster reactions.<\/p>\n
Over-the-air (OTA) updates now feature, while you can also use your Smartphone as a digital key. The three-row, seven-seat layout inside remains, and lower-specification models previously fitted with cloth seats have been replaced with faux-leather.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kia has been slimming down the Sorento range in advance of the facelifted car\u2019s arrival, but expect the line-up to broadly mirror the rest of Kia\u2019s range with GT-line and GT-line S models likely to make up the bulk of sales. It\u2019s thought the more affordable 2, 3 and 4 models may return, too.<\/p>\n
The new Sorento is expected to arrive in UK showrooms towards the middle of next year, with those cheaper variants helping Kia achieve a starting price of around \u00a340,000.<\/p>\n
