最近谍照记者在斯堪第纳维亚半岛拍到了正在进行寒冷气候测试的下一代起亚索兰托原型车，预计该车将在明年上市。这次记者在加油站一共拍到了两辆正在加油的原型车，而据消息人士透露，这款中级SUV的车身尺寸将比现行版进一步扩大，车身长度将增加几厘米。而由于车长增加，轴距也随之扩大，因此2015款索兰托内部将提供更大空间，特别是后排乘客腿部活动空间将更充裕。从这些谍照还可以看出，新车尾灯组造型有所变化。至于动力系统，起亚很可能提升2.4升和3.3升V6 Gdi引擎的功率并将首次引入混动版本。

 

2015 Kia Sorento prototype spied showing larger dimensions

A prototype of the next-gen Kia Sorento was spied undergoing cold winter testing in Scandinavia, prior to an expected 2015 market launch.

 

Two prototypes were spotted at a gas station getting a refill and according to our sources the mid-size SUV will grow in size compared to the current model and will be a few centimeters longer. Some of the added length will be in the wheelbase so the 2015 Sorento will provide more space inside the cabin, particularly for rear passengers who will benefit from additional legroom. In these spy photos we also notice a portion of the Sorento's taillight graphics.

 

As far as engines are concerned, Kia will most likely bump output of the 2.4-liter GDi and 3.3-liter V6 GDi engines and will probably introduce a hybrid version which will be available from day one.
