I heard Sorentos launching on 15th at their plant

Wait is Cerato also coming?

That's what's confusing. Sorento and Cerato both are mentioned and since Kia has officially invited this channel, I'm sure they gave them that info.

Yes if it would have been assumed they might have as well put stinger and Niro in the title as they were too in the unstoppable campaign but still doubtful about cerato

i think they should source out the AWD system for 3.5 V6 for RHD mkt, in Australia 3rd Gen FL Sorento 2019 came in awd but in 2.2crdi engine and 3.5 V6 came in FWD.

No news on Cerato, most probably wont be coming.

Well, as per my info only Sorento launch and Grand Carnival display and test drive. I know Zohair bhai from auto notch and I will ask him.

fazalwahab11375 (fazalwahab11375) 2021-02-12 20:54:47 +0500 #269

I talked to Zohair bhai.. he just assumed the cerato. nothing official. Only Sorento is confirm as far as CKD.

Obviously like always, KIA will display their other CBU units which they always be doing for portfolio and public attraction.. does not mean all those will be coming.

Bummer

fazalwahab11375 (fazalwahab11375) 2021-02-12 21:40:46 +0500 #271

I hope KIA surprise us with cerato. you never know..

pwuser159259702854 (Ahmad Abdullah) 2021-02-12 22:27:40 +0500 #272

They might even launch some cbu like stinger or Niro

Booking has started. Deliveries in May/June

fazalwahab11375 (fazalwahab11375) 2021-02-13 08:54:24 +0500 #274

They will not bring NIRO even as CBU as far as I think and my personal opinion. it will hurt Sportage.

pwuser159259702854 (Ahmad Abdullah) 2021-02-13 21:39:46 +0500 #276

This basically confirms that 3rd gen is coming for those who were not sure

fazalwahab11375 (fazalwahab11375) 2021-02-13 22:42:22 +0500 #277

yes.. We all are very smart and we knew it for 6 months now.. lol

pwuser159259702854 (Ahmad Abdullah) 2021-02-13 23:32:19 +0500 #278

Some geniuses yet thought that some miracle might happen
