The popular Kia Sorento has been given a makeover for 2007!

More power has been added to both the petrol and diesel engines, more comfort and safety features have been installed inside and outside the cabin, and the appearance has been boosted inside and out.

Five versions of the Kia Sorento 4x4 complete the model line-up for the European market. Kia Motors Corporation is also planning to sell 200,000 units around the world over the next two years.

The SUV market in Europe is highly competitive and we were immensely flattered by the reception given to Sorento at its launch in 2002, and by its subsequent sales volumes

200,000 facelift model Kia Sorentos are expected to be sold around the world, of which half of that is expected to be in the United States. This is according to Matthew Fenech, director of Easysell Kia in Malta.

At a recent launch of the new facelift Kia Sorento, Mr French emphasised the continuing quality of build that the population has come to associate with Kia's range of sporty, family, luxury and commercial vehicles.

We feel proud that for the past 20 years we have successfully represented this firm and there is no doubt about the success of the Kia brand when you look on Malta's roads

- Mr Matthew Fenech.

Since it was launched in 2002, the Sorento has been greeted with enthusiasm and the model has sold consistently well. "This gave us a lot of satisfaction," he said. Client surveys had also shown a high level of satisfaction from all aspects.

Positioned as a premium SUV (sports utility vehicle), the Sorento is powered by a 2.5-litre CRDi diesel. There is a choice of LX and EX trim and five-speed manual and automatic gearboxes.

The 2,497 cc double overhead camshaft four-cylinder in-line common-rail, high pressure, direct injection diesel produces a maximum power of 170 ps at 3,800 rpm and 392 Nm of torque (pulling power) at 2,000 rpm.
