Is there any update regarding the diesel variant with better specs which could potentially be launched in the near future?

Still waiting for it, no update yet at this moment. Some owners have chosen to take the LS variant, and upgrade the head unit (see enclosed photos ) and leather seats.

Can pm the estimated price for these 2 upgrades and does it affect the warranty or Kia 5yr price guaranty? Thanks

What about the automatic tailgate? Can this be added as well?

any promo for sorento at the moment?

please check my PM. Thanks.

Unfortunately no, some of the features like auto/smart tail gate, side window sun-screen, 3rd row aircon, auto parking cannot be upgraded after market.
The current "bulb type " rear combination lamp for the LS variant can be changed to LED type, technically but it will be quite costly.

You can now get a cool ICE cube fog lamp upgrade for FREE when you purchase and register the Sorento 2.2 Diesel LS and 2.4 petrol MS (year make 2016) from now untill 31st January 2017.

Will get this bumper type as well?

I'm still waiting for any Sorento 2.2L update.

any documented fuel consumption for LS, MS and HS?

The photo is to illustrate the ICE cube fog lamps, not the bumper. This will be given as an upgrade kit, after delivery. The procedure has yet to be announced, but most likely, you will need to send your car to the appointed service or accessories center for installation.

can you PM me the upgrade cost for these 2 items. And this will not void warranty?

Thanks.

It will be easier that KIA to introduce a Diesel premium variant, instead of add this add that. Afterall, any potential owner for such a huge vehicle, they are not looking at Petrol version, just check your sales figures.

How bad will the pricing be, why KIA is SO reluctant to do it ?

I concur with you. Pointless adding this & that as this could likely affect the warranty, you'll never know even though the sales person said otherwise...

I am clueless why they're not introducing the diesel mid spec variant at least...a lot of people are making noise about this specifically but Naza are not doing anything about it.. ignorant & stubborn...

Sigh..........................

Just keep on complaining at their official FB page. Maybe they'll realise it one day...

Plan is underway to introduce a higher spec diesel model but it will take sometime, because the car is under a CKD (local assembly) program. If KIA brings in a fully imported model (CBU), it will be much faster but the price will shoot above the roof.
