Dinamikjaya Motors Sdn Bhd recently previewed the fourth-generation Kia Sorento after the SUV was spotted a few times while testing around the country.
Redesigned from the ground-up, the front of the Sorento evolves with a new interpretation of Kia’s hallmark ‘tiger nose’ grille, displaying a wider shape which wraps around the integrated headlamps on each side.
The headlamps feature a new ‘tiger eyeline’ LED daytime running light, adding an extra focus to the design by depicting the intense impression of the lines around the tiger’s eyes.

The proportions of the Sorento are subtly adapted to make it appear longer, with shorter front and rear overhangs and a longer wheelbase.
Inside, the material quality of the fourth generation Sorento is enhanced with sophisticated next-generation design with blending metallic trims, leather upholstery and embossed wood-effect surfaces.
The 12.3-inch digital driver instrument cluster is paired with a 10.25-inch infotainment system at the centre of the dashboard.

A wireless smartphone charger sits at the base of the centre console while the BOSE surround-sound system provides in immersive in-car audio experience. The infotainment systems are compatible with Apple Carplay and Android Auto to provide seamless smartphone integration.
