In addition, a new GT Line specification has been introduced which sits at the top of the Sorento range. The changes it brings are purely cosmetic and adds features such as four-lamp LED fog lights, red brake callipers, a a lot more famous sill step, and GT Line badging.

All models benefit from changes inside where a new steering wheel, updated instrument cluster and revised 8.0-inch navigation system appear. Kia also says it has added new soft touch materials around the cabin to add a a lot more ‘premium’ feel. GT Line models feature quilted black leather seats.
Like before the only engine on offer remains the 197bhp 2.2-litre diesel but it is now available with the option of a new eight-speed automatic gearbox – a first for Kia. It replaces the old six-speed automobile and helps minimize CO2 emissions from 172g/km to 159g/km. A six-speed manual gearbox remains available.
Other tech added to the updated Sorento includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while a motorist attention alerting system helps to stop motorists falling asleep at the wheel.
