This new generation Kia Sorento was spotted by reader Kevin near the Naza showroom in TTDI. As far as I know the new Sorento has yet to be launched here in Malaysia yet so this must be some kind of management company car since it is registered with a number plate.
According to Kevin, this particular Sorento had a V6 badge at the back of it, indicating the more expensive petrol model. This generation of Sorento comes with a few engines – a 2.4 litre Theta II inline-4 petrol, a 2.7 litre V6, a 3.5 litre V6 and a 2.2 litre CRDi inline-4 diesel.
