The new Sorento was unveiled at the 2020 Macau Auto Show, with a 7-seater layout and a very domineering appearance.

On October 30, the 2020 Macau Auto Show was held as scheduled. At this auto show, Kia’s new Sorento was officially unveiled. This is also its domestic debut. Although in overseas markets, the new Sorento has been unveiled many times. However, in the domestic market, this is the first time for a eldest daughter to get into a sedan chair. Many friends should be familiar with this car, because it once entered the country as an imported car. Of course, we are familiar with the previous generation model. Compared with the previous generation model, the new car has many changes in appearance, interior, and power. It’s huge, let’s take a look.

If the previous model gave people a feeling of grandeur and stability, then the new car feels fashionable and sporty. Its front face adopts Kia’s latest tiger-roaring family design, with a two-stage front grille. The grille is integrated with the headlights. The lower grille is also large in size and integrates fog lights. The entire front face uses a large number of horizontal lines to create a wide visual effect, which is very recognizable.

The side lines of the car are very stretched, and the windows extend far back. It feels like the body size is larger than the actual size. The angle of the roof is not large, but the end of the window The downward pressure is very large, visually creating a sense of familiarity with a coupe SUV. Its length, width and height are 4810*1900*1700mm, and its wheelbase is 2815mm, which is larger than the previous model and fits the positioning of a medium-sized SUV. The rear of the car has a simple design, and the vertical taillights are also one of the designs that enhance recognition. The exhaust has a two-outlet layout on both sides, which looks very sporty.

The new car *** provides three powertrains. The gasoline version is a 1.6T hybrid and a 2.5T engine. The diesel version is a 2.2T engine. The transmission systems are all Kia’s independently developed 8DCT dual-clutch. gearbox. It is reported that Kia will also launch plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models in the future.

In terms of the interior, it feels very average. I have to say that Kia is still a little lacking in interior texture. It stands to reason that an SUV worth 200,000 to 300,000 yuan should have a certain level of luxury. It has a sense of style and technology, but Sorento's interior does not have these two feelings. Even its interior quality is not as good as some domestic SUVs worth about 100,000 yuan, such as Haval H6 and Changan CS75 PLUS. In fact, in terms of configuration, Sorento is not low-end. It is equipped with a 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel and a 10.25-inch central control screen. It also uses a knob-type shift mechanism and is equipped with a mobile phone wireless charging panel. However, the combination does not show off its class. . This is an area where Sorento needs improvement.

The new car adopts a 7-seat layout of 2 3 2 and is a 7-seat medium-sized SUV. Therefore, its competitors are ready to emerge, such as Toyota Highlander, Ford Edge and Jeep Commander. All in all, the advantage of Sorento is that it is an imported car. According to the previous generation model, its price should be similar to that of the domestically produced joint venture 7-seat medium-sized SUV. The disadvantage is that Kia's brand influence is still slightly insufficient. Because it is an imported car, it also restricts its further development. So, what do you think of the new Sorento?
