SPYSHOTS: Kia prepares next generation Kia Sorento

The current second generation Kia Sorento currently sold in Malaysia underwent a pretty significant facelift recently with heavily revised underpinings, but Kia is already working on the next generation of its mid-size SUV, which could debut sometime in 2015.

Shown here is the next generation car still heavily covered with camo, but you can see a bit of the headlamp design through the camo as well as the shape of the Kia Tiger grille up front. The front grille is a lot more upright compared to the current generation. It will probably share plenty of technical bits with the Hyundai Santa Fe, which has just undergone a full model refresh.

We wonder if Kia will follow Hyundai’s lead with short and long wheelbase versions of the Sorento, now that the Kia Mohave has been phased out in a lot of countries.
