Any info on launch date yet ?

There won't be an official launch, because this is just a facelifted model. It is a matter of just waiting for the physical units to arrive at showrooms, expected to be sometime by 2nd week of next month (oct) at earliest. Those who can place the booking fast, will get priority to the delivery of stocks.

Not sure why naza kia so slow on releasing the fl sorento n carnival. Like they are ok if sales are not ok haha.. More time they waste more customer choose other brand.

Those stocks are semi KD (semi knock down ) basis. They need time to assemble, inspection and endorse with custom. Not to mention that they need the government approval on the price since this is a face-lift version. There was a sudden surge in demand during the tax holiday that by the time Kia Malaysia ordered new stocks from Korea, they could not ensure continuous supply.

* IMS (Integrated Memory Seat) - Driver's Seat + Outside Mirror Setting memory

I thought in the memo it said 19 inch still ? Only 2.4 petrol downgrade to 18 inch

The pictures above showing a tachometer of up to 8,000 RPM, so this is a petrol car.

Yes, you are right. Petrol variant is on 18 Inch wheels, Diesel variant is on 19 Inch (machine polish finishing, not chrome)
Pictures shown are petrol variant , as per the rim design.

For Sorento, better just choose between Black, White or Graphite Platinum (Grey).

I took Black


If you intend to mod with TUON accessories, white is looking good too



If you are those who do not wash car frequent, just take Graphite Platinum

I alrdy seen graphite platinum in real life. It reminds me of honda color.

That's why the best still Black or White.

The only reason I did not choose white is that I don't like the elevated rear look since the cladding is in black color. The car looks unnecessary jacked up. The white front is looking nice.

So, black for me. And my car is no longer "KIA" on the second day after I took delivery

I prefer espresso though not favor this color but black n white alrdy too common. Silver looks hmm.. Not sure how to say it but doesnt match to me. Platinum graphite like honda color scheme that I dislike the most.

There is other color called metal stream. It looks very nice to me. Should bring this color. Red also nice.
