Kia has provided a peak at its all-new Sorento ahead of unveiling the SUV at the Paris Motor Show in October. The third-gen model is a full-sized crossover, distinct from the Sportage, standing longer, lower and wider than the current model with an 80 mm longer wheelbase. Inspired by the Kia Cross GT from the 2013 Chicago Motor Show, the new Sorento boasts three rows and seven seats, and features a prominent tiger-nose grille, sweptback headlights, chrome trim and tailgate-mounted spoiler.

Numerous, as yet unrevealed, innovative features adorn a more accommodating cabin, while engine options are expected to include a 3.3-liter V6, a new hybrid powerplant and a couple of diesel units. More pics and info will follow the reveal of the 2015 Sorento in South Korea later this month.
