Kia will premiere its revised Venga model and third-generation Kia Sorento at next month’s Paris Motor Show.

The Venga has been treated to a completely refreshed look for its fifth anniversary, featuring exterior changes such as a restyled front and rear, a more sophisticated cabin, new alloy wheels, fog lights and LED daytime running lights.

The Sorento features a complete re-design with an all-new bodyshell, which aims to improve ride, handling and crash safety.

Additional exterior changes to the seven-seater include a smoother, swept-back profile and sculpted surfaces delivering a premium look and feel, new long wrap-around headlamps and more prominent fog lights and a new grille, while a higher proportion of soft-touch materials and leather creates a luxurious feel inside.

The all-new Sorento is available in the UK with a 2.2 CRDi engine and isn’t short on tech either, with an Around-View Monitor, with four cameras helping the driver to manoeuvre when parking by displaying a birds-eye view of the vehicle on the dashboard display screen.

Both the Venga and Sorento are expected to go on sale in early 2015.
