The all-new 2021 Kia Sorento was revealed to the public late last year and it’s already getting praised for its refreshed look, improved performance, and updated interior. After hauling the “2021” sign to Times Square for New Year’s Eve celebrations, the SUV was recognized by three organizations within a couple of weeks.
2020 GOOD DESIGN Award
The first award came at the end of December when the restyled Sorento was lauded for its appearance.
