Carmaker offers peek at the third-gen SUV's sleek new lines.

Kia has given us a sneak peek with a sexy artist's rendering of the new, third-generation 2015 Sorento. Set to make its official debut on October 2 at the Paris motor show, the new SUV looks like a winner. On the front end the Sorento features a Tiger Nose chrome grille and large fog lamps. This seven passenger competitor of the Ford Explorer will probably house a 2.4-liter, direct injection four-cylinder engine, along with a 3.3-liter V6 option. Kia is also tipped to offer the Sorento with a hybrid powerplant.

Front wheel drive and a six speed transmission will be standard, along with Torque Vectoring Control and electric power steering. The SUV will also be available with with optional all wheel drive. Here's a promotional video of the artist rendering.
