In March we saw the facelift that the Kia Sorento has received in the U.S., something that was foreshadowing what will happen soon in Europe. So far it has not been officially unveiled expected facelift but the surprise of how it will face renewed already been ruined because here we have a spy photo captured at the Nurburgring in showing how the redesign of the area the car. No big changes, but enough to attract attention.
When it was launched in 2009, the set was attractive to me but the front was missing a little more personality. The brand designers have managed to solve the ballot by introducing small design elements reminiscent of the latest releases of the mark. So, now features a redesigned optical, clearly inspired by the successful Kia Sportage, and probably show the same strip of LED daytime headlights "small SUV" from Kia.
Detail since they are beyond fog lights have also incorporated large vertically integrated in a bumper that has been slightly stylized. In short, drink the lines of Kia Sportage, so try to transfer the good image it to the Sorento. The rest of the car did not see anything, but it sure will incorporate the changes typical with this type of washing the face: new rear bumpers, different wheel designs, more features, etc...
The presentation of the 2013 Kia Sorento is closer because it is almost ready. The most logical is to be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show next September, as is the great European motor event near you. So in about three months we will know all the official details of this restyling, if Kia decides not to advance it.
