Kia has announced the 2023 Kia Sorento facelift for its Korea domestic market. However, prices and mechanical details are still kept under wraps as the model will only be launched in August. What we do know is that its front-end now looks dramatically different from before. Instead of a very horizontal design motive emphasizing the 3-row seat SUV’s wide stance, the new Sorento facelift has T-bar, almost Cadillac-like design motive. Kia’s signature ‘tiger nose’ grille has also been reinterpreted.

Dinamikjaya Motor, a subsidiary of Bermaz Auto and the official distributor of Kia vehicles in Malaysia, has launched the all-new 2023 Kia Sorento. The 6/7-seater SUV comes locally assembled (CKD) at the Inokom plant in Kulim. Three variants are available – 2.5 2WD 7-seater, 2.5 AWD 6-seater, and 2.2D AWD 6-seater, priced at RM 211,498, RM 235,498, and RM 255,228 respectively. The entry 2.5 2WD variant is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre petrol engine that makes 180 PS/232 Nm, mated to

Ever since Dinamikjaya Motors took over distribution of the Kia brand in Malaysia from Naza, the Kia Carnival is the lone model offered but soon, other models will be added to the line-up including the all-new fourth-generation Kia Sorento (MQ4).

While the Sorento is sold in left-hand-drive (LHD) mar

Following our earlier report of the all-new 2021 Kia Grand Carnival heading to Indonesia, we have also learnt that it'll be joined by the all-new 2021 Kia Sorento as well. Information found on the archipelago's Samsat database (think our Road Transport Department, JPJ) points towards the SUV being powered by a 2.2-litre diesel engine (202 PS / 404 Nm) paired to a new 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT). Indonesia is the second country to receive the fourth-generation Sorento in the

Kia Sorento The upcoming 2020 Kia Sorento looks the business. As seen in our Geneva Motor Show post, the 7-seater Sorento design is heavily influenced by its American-only Kia Telluride, which looks more upscale and sophisticated as compared to the rounder looks of its predecessor. Along with the refreshed exterior design, the platform and engine is all-new too. The overall length has been extended by 10 mm than its predecessor, while the wheelbase is up 35 mm to 2,815 mm. Two engine options wil

The Proton Ertiga is no more as Proton has dropped the model from its line-up. The last Proton Ertiga rolled off Proton’s Tanjung Malim plant in May, with saw only 31 units assembled, including 4 units with manual transmission. These 31 units languished for a few more months at dealers, but the last unit should have been sold by the time you read this.
