This year, if a 7-seater SUV is launched this year, it seems to be a bit self-defeating. After all, the advantages of Highlander have always been there, and all cars in the same class have their own ways of playing. . However, models with obvious advantages can still be evaluated based on the Highlander, such as Kia's new Sorento.

The design style of the new car can be said to be an exaggeration of Kia’s existing family elements. The “tiger roar” grille on the front face is still there, but the edges and corners are more distinct and are aligned with the headlights on both sides Integrated, and the headlights are also upgraded to a combined LED light source. The side streamlines of the body are gentle, and the inclined D-pillar adds a touch of sportiness. The highlight at the rear of the car is the vertical taillights, which are fully recognizable.

If people differ in appearance, the interior of the new Sorento is completely higher than the Highlander. The main body of the interior is covered with leather, the center console is clearly layered, and the air-conditioning outlet has a personality, rendering a somewhat fighter cockpit atmosphere. The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and 10.25-inch central control large screen, which are standard on the new car, are full of technological sense.

It can be seen that Sorento has an obvious advantage over domestic users after the highlander is sold overseas. The voice of "speed up the introduction, but don't make it domestically." Think about it. Take the old Sorento as an example. Even if it is an imported car, its price is controlled at the 300,000 level, which is almost the same as the mainstream joint venture car of the same level. Although the price will be cheaper after domestic production, the quality may decrease. Net imports are still more competitive. What do you think of this car?
