watching the car, some people may feel familiar. In fact, it is the domestic market Kia Sorento prototype KX7 of the year Kia Sorento will not be made in China, in turn, borrowed from the old Sorento platform launched Kia KX7. Also proved that the product of the old platform to perfunctory people does not work. Soon, Kia KX7 chop against the Highlander in the horse, has now been in name only is the point.

See here, Jiang brother believe most people will have such a question: based on a special relationship with the Kia Sorento KX7, the future new generation Sorento there is no hope to introduce the country to take over the position of Kia KX7? According to Jiang brother of view, the idea is to really unlikely.

because earlier KIA in product planning, says it will launch this year a new generation of K3 EV pure electric SUV, and the new K5 The new KX7 at least 4New models, Kia KX7 and is expected to be available in the first quarter of this year. This point in time just hit a whole new generation Sorento world premiere time. South Korea has not officially listed in the local market it, to direct the introduction of the domestic market, such a possibility is really minimal.

and as early as last year, the country declared information about the new KX7 had already been disclosed out, appearance and body size new KX7 almost no change, the biggest change is the facelift of the engine to meet the emissions of six countries. Then compare domestic declare under new KX7 and a whole new generation Sorento, both both in the exterior design as well as body size, have a very clear distinction.

The most straightforward is the difference between the front face from the declaration of the map can clearly see, the new KX7 “Tigers grille” is far better than a new generation of large, headlight styling and interior styling surrounded by Sorento is also significantly different. Further new KX7 body size is 4730/1890 / 1730mm, wheelbase 2700mm, both in body size are different.

In summary, Jiang brother already feel the relationship between these two cars have not, so it should not introduce a whole new generation Sorento domestic Instead of KX7, but the same as with the previously imported into the domestic market is still very possible! It was truly a pity, a whole new generation Sorento product strength is no doubt, I believe there are a lot of people would also love this car. So why not to Kia Sorento based direct replacement KX7, boost sales pick it?
