The second generation Kia Sorento has been around since early 2010, and it’s about time that the model receives a much-needed facelift. So to refresh their beloved midsize crossover SUV, the Korean automaker teases the public with their upcoming 2014 Sorento
 
While the rest of the body remains the same, notable changes for the midlife update include new head lights and tail lights which feature led lamps, more aggressively designed front and rear bumpers, and larger 19-inch alloy wheels. What's remarkable is that these changes actually clean up the Sorento's line , making it look a lot, lot more sophisticated and a little bit... European. As a matter of fact, the new tail lights are a bit Audi-like.
  
The changes, however, are not limited externally, as Kia also improved the interior of the Sorento. The LCD instrument cluster is updated; likewise, the improved center console now features 7-inch screen display. Boosting its luxurious appeal, the new 2014 Sorento also offers a straight-gate selector with a leather-booted lever for automatic transmission models. And with the cross beams removed, the large panoramic sunroof can now give that full open top experience. 
 
The new 2014 Kia Sorento is scheduled to go on sale later this year in the US, probably to go toe-to-toe with the all-new Hyundai Santa Fe. But in Philippines, the Columbian Autocar Corporation (CAC) just introduced an LX manual transmission version of the current Sorento, so it should take a little bit more time until we get the updated model locally.
