Kia has revealed to the world the first look at its facelifted 2024 Kia Sorento 2024 model. It's a mid-size SUV that has undergone a significant facelift, although it's only a mid-cycle update. The changes are far from negligible and bring a breath of fresh air to a model that was first introduced a little over three years ago.

The first official images of the 2024 Kia Sorento reveal a dramatic facelift. The most noticeable innovation is the T-shaped lights, which are surrounded by a strip of daytime running lights, elegantly surrounding the Kia logo. The badge has been moved from the grille to the bonnet, adding a touch of modernity.

The grille is also redesigned and has a fresh look, as does the lower air intake, which still hosts the separate fog lights. The vertical air curtains are now slightly larger, adding to the rugged aesthetics of the vehicle. A silver skid plate completes the facelift.

Despite these changes, the 2024 Sorento retains its recognizable side profile, but with newly designed alloy wheels. At the rear, the lights have been discreetly redesigned with new graphics that now meet at the front, a departure from the separate units before the facelift. Kia appears to have moved the reverse lights even lower, below the silver skid plate.

The interior of the Kia Sorento 2024 is instantly recognizable, but some changes have been made to the dashboard. For example, the robust vertical air vents in the center are gone, replaced by much thinner ones that make room for the infotainment system's enlarged touchscreen. The South Korean brand has also modernized the climate controls, getting rid of the outdated screen and replacing it with capacitive buttons, similar to the EV6 and Sportage models. Also added is a fingerprint authentication system carried over from other Hyundai Motor Group models, and new interior colors: Interstellar Grey, Volcanic S, Brown and Cityscape Green.

In Hyundai/Kia/Genesis style, it's just a design reveal, with tech specs revealed in mid-August. While we await further details, it's clear that the 2024 Sorento is shaping up to be a compelling blend of style and innovation. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to follow this exciting evolution in the Kia SUV lineup.
