最近谍照记者在斯堪的纳维亚半岛拍到了正在进行测试的2016款起亚索兰托,与该车一同进行测试的还有现代ix25。测试车进行了重度伪装,重新设计的车型采用了类似Cadenza和K900的椭圆形格栅。该车还配备了向后延伸的前大灯,上翘的腰线和更时尚的车厢造型。除了造型风格改变外,新车最大变化很可能是三维尺寸的增加,这将使第二和第三排乘客的活动空间更充裕。预计新车动力系统选择仍将与老款车一样,包括2.4升四缸和3.3升V6引擎,但这两台引擎将进行微调以提升性能,降低油耗。另外索兰托混动版将搭载一台2.4升四缸引擎和一台电机及47千瓦锂电池。
2016 Kia Sorento spied in Scandinavia
The 2016 Kia Sorento has been spied undergoing testing alongside the Hyundai iX25 in Scandinavia.
Dressed in heavy camouflage, the redesigned crossover sports an oval grille which mimics the one used on the Cadenza and K900. The model has also been equipped with sweptback headlights, an upward sweeping beltline and a more stylish greenhouse.
Styling changes aside, the biggest change will likely be the increased dimensions which will pay huge dividends to second and third row passengers.
Engine options are expected to carryover so expect choices to include a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.3-liter V6 with minor modifications for improved performance and reduced fuel consumption. Speaking of the latter, there could be a Sorento Hybrid with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that is backed by an electric motor and a 47 kW lithium polymer battery.
