Included as a part of the rear fascia re-do are integrated tailpipes, adding a sporting flavor to the large sedan. New
The exterior of the Sorento has been treated in a similar fashion with new, tougher looking front and rear bumpers as well, the one in front sporting a unique contrasting-tone insert at center.
