Sneak Peek: 2010 Kia Sorento


Arriving on the Web ahead of its expected Seoul Motor Show debut this April is a supposed official 2010 Kia Sorento production teaser image.

If you couldn't tell, the next-gen Sorento gets slightly bigger overall thanks to its shared Hyundai Veracruz unibody platform. As a result, the SUV likely will be quieter, ride better and achieve better fuel mileage. Our latest intel indicates that when it hits U.S. showrooms later this year, the Sorento will utilize the current model's 3.8L V-6, as well as a 3.0L diesel built in collaboration with Hyundai. Both engine options will be mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
