Kia unveils two rugged Sorento X-Line Concepts

NEW DELHI: Kia Motors America on Friday unveiled two all-new Sorento X-Line Concepts- the Sorento Yosemite Edition and the Sorento Zion Edition. The Kia Sorento is the 7-seater version of the Kia Seltos, the best-selling B-segment SUV of the Korean automaker.


The two X-Line Concepts were introduced during the brand’s virtual national dealer meeting and these concepts celebrate the rugged personality of the Kia Sorento. The two wilderness-themed SUVs have been based on the Sorento X-Line variant and will mostly never enter production but they are meant to show the prowess of the rugged SUV to the customers and encourage them to purchase the upcoming 2021 Sorento or further customize their existing Sorento with X-Line accessories.

The first X-Line Concept, the Sorento Yosemite Edition is specially designed to explore high-elevation regions and mountain living. While the second concept, Sorento Zion Edition is dune-defeating desert escape vehicle. These two concepts will be the first time that the Korean automaker is showing off products with immense trailing capabilities.


Both the X-Line Sorento Concepts feature unique 20-inch wheels, an increased ride height of 8.3-inch, improved approach and departure angles, advanced all-wheel-drive powertrain with an exclusive snow mode and a robust roof rack. The fender flares, 32-inch all-terrain tyres, body armour with chrome custom skid plates and brush guards bring out the brawny character of the SUV.

Designed by LGE-CTE Motorsports, both the X-Line Concepts take inspiration from America’s national parks and it reflects in their colour scheme too. The Yosemite Edition adorns a pine green colour scheme in a matte finish with gloss and matte black accents reflecting high-elevation adventures. The Zion Edition boasts a desert sand colour scheme in a gloss finish with gloss black accents to reflect its desert-stomping nature.
