"I cannot tell you how fast Iam going but it's very stable" - I like your approach.
Hi Suren. But it really was stable and i really can't tell you how fast i was going. LOL thanks
Your reviews are great introductions to Korean vehicles. I recommend you provide more comparative information vs. competing European and American vehicles. Would love to hear your analysis in this regard.
Hi Gino. Yes, we will insert more comparisons with US and Europeans cars. Thank you.
Another great video and thanks for sharing.
Thank you Tommy. I am glad you like it.
You drove it like you stole it! Great review... I love my 2016 SX V6. It’s a 7 passenger, but a great size, excellent tech, smooth engine. Best car I’ve ever had. (Hey from Atlanta )
Thank you. Fortunately, i borrowed it from Kia motors Korea. hahah Thank you. Yes, i love this Sorento with AWD. I am quite surprised how AWD makes such big~ difference in Sorento. Thanks
Love Kia...I have been driving one for years with NO problems..
Great! Jane. Hope you have more wonderful miles with your Kia. Thank you for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.

Gr8 review as always👍! The grill is just the perfect one! Today, the camera angles r but the best!!The view is awsomeeeee!
Hi Myra. Glad you like it. And the sun was just perfect, too. Thank you always for supporting us.
👍🏻 keep the good work up
Thank you zhenar. 👍👍👍
Love your reviews but I would never let you near my car. You are possibly the best vehicle reviewer on here.
Thanks Rob. It all good! Just doing it on test cars. thank you!
G'day Charlie love your videos dude and that car looks sweet as, Hyundai/Kia are really doing some great stuff, not a fan of stop/start but that's in any car it's just a stupid gimmick, but I think it's the nicest looking Sorento to date even the interior looks shmick!
Yes, Excal. I agree with you. They have added few minor updates inside and outside. And with all the safety features added. This seems like very best Sorento ever. Yes, like the color, too. It seems like grey from far way, but it also looks like espresso from certain angle. Thank you.
Great review, love your channel! As to the diesel engine, I know it’s popular in other countries because of its mpg but thats negated by the fact that here in the US its more expensive than gas. So lots of buyers will not go for that. But overall a great vehicle!
Yeap. More people in Korea are turning heads toward gasoline due to pollution problem. Thank you Chuck for tuning in and sharing your thoughts.
Great review as usual!
Keep up the good work!
I found your Korean channel motopd. I do speak some Korean, so I enjoy that channel as well.

Hi Digi tal. You speak Korea, too. Wow. Yes, please do share our Motorpd channel with your friends as well. That would be super helpful. Thank you!

thanks Christian for tuning in.,
Drove this monster...it's really cool
Yeah it's pretty nice.
"Not every one drives like a maniac... " that was so funny!
It's true. LOL
A very thorough and excellent review Sir. I drive my 2010 Kia Sorento 2.2 crdi like this too, much to the annoyance of my wife lol. Long term issues are: broken door actuators and replacing worn suspension parts at 92,000 miles. But still love the Sorento.
Wow, thanks for sharing your experience with Sorento. Thank you for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing! thank you.
Hello Charlie and best wishes from the UK. I switched to Kia in 2013 with an Optima. I now have a 2016 Sorento 2.2 CRDi and love it. My wife drives a Soul and my son a Rio. My daughter had a Picanto but moved to an Audi A3.
Wow, you guys are Kia family. Thanks for tuning in And please do support us by subscribing. thanks
Just brought one for the family, it's a very nice car.
Yes, this Kia Sorrento looks and feels very nice. Thank you carpentmantis. And please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
I have a Sorento from 2007, I am satisfied. I hope the new series is also OK.
Nice review. You do like to push those vehicles :) I was test driving a Seltos today and sat inside a high spec Sorento. I was impressed. It makes me want to step up from the Seltos. I'm impressed with Kia in general, but the Sorento is an awesome SUV.
Hes driving it hard!!!, i like this kind of review, i have the 2016 sx, looks like its time to upgrade!!
Hey. Anthony. Thanks for tuning in. Glad upu like it.
Time to upgrade? Wtf the car is just 3 years old. We're still driving our 2006 Kia Sorento top range model
Good review and spot on exactly my assessment have one
Hi Toti. Glad you like our review. Hope to bring you more!

I own the 2018 EX model ... I like it a lot but wouldn’t mind driving this one 👌🏼... great video like always 👍🏼
Thank you Jorge. Wow great to be talking to many Sorento owners. Glad you like our review. Thank you.
Great video. Thinking of purchasing the Sorento or Santa Fe for the wife. I like the way the sorento handles on the road
Well to be honest. They handle pretty similarly. So, you won't notice the difference. Thanks Scott! And please do support us by subscribing. thanks
thx for the reviews!i am gonna to buy a sorento in my local area but i just cannot find out the head up display option,want to ask about the HUD is it new available in 2020 models or it is just about the different area options?
Well options might differ regionally, so please check with your local dealer. Thanks.
Excellent reviews as always!! Can someone tell me does the rear climate control just control the third row? Or the second row as well? I have never seen a tri zone climate control like that. Bummer it’s not in second row!
Yes, there are air vents on 2nd and 3rd row.
Nice review Charlie ! Are there many ppl chipping their 2.2D Sorento in Korea ? Thought of doing that for my 2018 2.2d :)
Hello, John. Yes many people are still buying diesels in Korea for higher efficiency. Thank you.
I like you're review style
Thank you just life for tuning in. And please do support us by subscribing. thank you.
I subscribed with first video i watched awesome
Asian Petrolhead, another fantastic review! You are first to review this of course. I love the Sorento and feel it is misunderstood in the States because the 3rd row, designed for occasional use is so tight. Also, I miss us having the turbo option here. I own the 2016 SXL-T AWD and my Sorento really puts down the power with more torque than the V6. But still with better fuel mileage.
Also the Sorento remains Kia’s most luxurious seating in a SUV/CUV because of the extended seat controls over the Telluride. I wish Kia had stuck to their original plan for MY19 and also introduced the Diesel 2.2 to the North American market, but I am a product guy and I understand how difficult that messaging would have been, especially with Telluride launch looming.
Please tell Kia to bring the classy middle console with the cover for the drink holders to North America.
I really like the niche you have on RUclips with these launches. Thanks for another amazing and thorough review!
Thank you dalex7777. We are just glad to be the ones who can provide reviews faster than anybody else. And we are growing because you enthusiastic audience. We always appreciate your support. You don't have 2.0Turbo in states? Yes, i want to see how introduction of Telluride effect sales of Sorento. Thank you.,
Asian Petrolhead Thank you for your reply. Yes you do an amazing job!
In the States, when the 3rd-Generation Sorento launched the engine options were the 2.4L GDI, 2.0L Turbo GDI and the 3.3L V6 GDI from MY2016 to MY2018. In 2016 the 2.0L Turbo was available in the EX Trim and the SX Limited-Turbo (branded as SXL-T). They dropped the 2.0T in the Limited Trim in 2016 but continued with it being available in the EX Trim through MY2018. In 2019, for the US, Kia dropped both the 2.0T and all 5-seat configurations. Currently all US market Sorento’s are seven-seaters with two engine options the 2.4L GDI and the 3.3L V6 with AWD available for LX and higher trims.
Asian Petrolhead - YOU ROCK! I'm gonna get me one of these.
Thank you Scott. Glad you like our review on this Kia Sorento. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
That was the shortest wait between announcement of video and said video, nice job!
Car looks good and small updates are ok I guess but new Santa Fe refresh will likely lead to this one being overlooked. I wonder why the sister cars aren't synced in terms of their refresh and new model year, do you know why? Thanks for another nice video!
Yes, i wanted to upload this review before weekend start. So you guys can watch it over the weekend. Glad you like it. I think they don’t sync it. Because they don’t want to interfere sales numbers of each other. So Hyundai and Kia usually launch sister cars with 6 months a part. Just personal thought. Thank you.
Asian Petrolhead interesting thought. I guess another consideration might be that perhaps there is a single design team responsible for each modelclass of both Kia and Hyundai products.
It will be interesting to see how different the market will receive the two new large SUV products in the Telluride and Palisade, such an interesting head to head.
I like you review. Do you know when this Sorento 2020 will launch in Vietnam?
I hope, it does get launched soon in Vietnam. Thanks for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing. thanks
Happy 1 year channel anniversary!!!!
thank you sir
Was looking at a 2019 Sorento sxl today in Canada, I really hope they bring the 2.2 diesel to North America...
Yes, diesel is more efficient. But gasoline drives and feels much better. thank you.
The 2.2 TDI seems adequate to handle the weight. Also love that interior color.
Hey Issac. Yes, 2.2d delivers power smoothly with nice muted sound. Thank you.
It's adequate* enough.
Waiting for 2021 sorento building that credit and $$$ wooooo
Sorentos are nice SUVs now. Thanks for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing. thank you.
Is Telluride available in Korea? I want to see you guys drive the heck out of it and how it compares vs Palisade
No, i want to drive Telluride. So bad, but it's not out here in Korea, yet.
Awesome review! You'd really brought out most of the characteristics of the sorento. However, in my country, we'll only receive the 2.2D model :(
Joshua wong...Then you're lucky! The gas engine in this SUV will feel very underpowered. That 2.2D is perfect!
@@johnholst thanks for the info. However, the diesel engine seems to rattle abit too loudly, in my opinion 😅
@@Stronkkirby Yes, you're right. It's not as smooth as that V6 they offer. But in my opinion, the power and efficiency is worth it.
Glad you like our review. Yes, its my first time driving AWD version. I was quite amazed by handling capability of Sorento. Quite roomy and capable SUV. thank you.
Nice video.
I would say that Kia should change a few stuff in interior design. Climate control are from Ceed 2013. That red color is just not matching interior. Also tacho must be full led in 2020. Those buttons on navi should be raplaced with one navi wheel in center console.
Hi Forchan. Thanks for sharing your comment. Yes, at last this is Sorento with most tech and features in it. Hope to see all new refreshed model, soon.
Great review 👌
Thank you!
Frontside (gril,...) look really aerodynamic, Dynamic good!. 👌🏼👍🏼 Next more powerful (twin turbo) CRDi engine...220-250hp and (ZF) 9-speed DCT-Transmission!.
Hi, Henrik. I hope Kia engineers are looking at your comment. Because I am drooling already. ^^
That fuel mileage is impressive on the diesel, too bad it's not offered in the United States. Kia and Hyundai makes some impressive cars these days. The quality and reliability is excellent.
Yes Adrain fuel economy on diesels are Impressive. But even here Korea more people are turning head away from diesel because of air pollution issues. So its got +s and -s. Thank you for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
What is the price variance between Sorento and their other 7 passenger suv, the Telluride?
Thank you Floyd for the answer!
I like how he randomly decided to do a brake test
Yes, let's just do it now! LOL Thanks for watching our Kia Sorento review. Thank you ammar. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
Muy bonita y cuando llega a Mexico kia sorento 2020 ya quiero cambiar mi sorento
Glad you like it. thanks for tuning in from Metico.
The interior looks pretty nice.
I hope you can review the Kia Telluride.
He already did like a month ago
@@84mztoya I think you are confused with another car. He hasn't reviewed it yet I just checked his channel again.
Yes, Telluride isn't out here in Korea. I hope to test drvie and show you the Telluride soon. Thank you.
That was Palisade. ^^
I will be upgrading my 2017 Sorento when they finally do a refresh. Was hoping this was the year >< I might just get a Telluride though.
Jon Zimmer...I've heard that the all new model will be out by the end of this year here in Korea.
Yes, Jon. If you want more spacious interior, Telluride is the way to go. Love the Telluride. Thank you.
영상 재미있게 잘봤습니다 ㅎ
감사합니다. ㅎ
Asian Petrolhead 넵!
I always wondered whether Hyundai or Kia is the more premium brand, any opinion on that? Also, Hyundai appear to have more European centric design both external and internal, whereas Kia seem more Asian bias as in more geometric silhoutte and conservative interior, more austere and sparsely garnished. Your comment greatly appreciated.
Hi douglas. I would say Kia is in between Hyundai and Genesis. Few years ago, Kia also wanted to make it's premium brand just like Genesis. But the they ceased the plan, because of interference with Genesis. So, for example Kia still has K9 or K900, but G90 and 80s are sold under Genesis Brand. So, they are all family but divided slightly differently for marketing purposes. Well, as for the design. Hyundai seems to be focused more younger buyers, whereas Kia is more focused on slightly older people. But they are both great cars, just with slight design changes.
They are already testing next gen Sorento, hope it gets a hybrid or PHEV.
Yes, Michael. PHEV Sorento would be super! Thank you.
As to whether I would prefer Sorento over Santa Fe, I would rather have a Santa Fe my friend but I like this vehicle a lot,...I guess I'm biased because I own Sonata, but it's still a great vehicle!!!
Hi, I'm a big fan of you in Taiwan. Can you give me some suggestion between Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe? It's hard for me to choose from these two 2.2 liter diesel SUV. The size and price range are similar. Both of them have 7 seats and quite fit for family use. What is your preference? Thanks a lot.
Hi Vin. Thanks for tuning in fromTawian. Yes they are very similar. So it seems like a design preference game. If you like floating navigation and exterior that looks more youthful then go with Hyundai. Or if you want regular built in navigation with more reserved design then go with Kia. And yes 2.2 diesel is the choice for these guys. Thank you.
I know its comparing apples to oranges, but what would your pick be between the '20 santa fe 2.0T two row vs. this '20 sorento and why?
Yes, just like you said it will be between apples and oranges. But i personally would choose Santa Fe. Just like the exterior and interior design. Other than that, most of driving dynamics and power outputs are identical, so i guess you have to follow your interest in design, then. Thank you for tuning in. Thank you for tuning in. And please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
@@AsianPetrolhead Thank you! However, the santa fe I'm referring to is the 2.0T, the 235hp / 260tq vs the sorento V6 290hp / 252tq. I do understand that the 2019 santa fe xl has the same numbers as the sorento though. Please clarify, and thank you so much for your reply! Liked and subbed!
At 14:08 would be great if it would automatically close the windows. Smart Windows I think. Does it have that?
No, sorrento do not have that. thanks for tuning in.
Yeah !!!

Ah ha~ Great! Jealous about V6. Thank you for tuning in Narek.
Asian Petrolhead Thank You for your videos, sir. Great content
Hi I'm thinking of getting the 2020 Kia Sorento but it's 2.0 diesel awd do you know if it also comes with the 8sp automatic transmission
yes, Raul. 2.0 Diesel comes with 8 speed automatic. Thank you for tuning in. And please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
The next Sorento, should look like a smaller Telluride, with a nice boxy rugged shape.
Hi Bobby. I ams sure Kia will do that. I mean look at all the attention that Telluride is getting. thank you.
I agree. It would surely kill the Everest and Terra.
Great car..
Thanks
Hiii. How to activate UVO service for my Kia sorento2019 in my country. Can u help?
Not sure, you have to contact your Kia Dealer. That should solve the problem most quickly. Thanks for watching our Kia Sorento review. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
My wife drives that exact car,. I’m surprised KIA hasn’t done a more significant upgrade on the infotainment screen. It needs to sit higher and should be larger.
Otherwise, this is a great car and drives very much like a car.
There is a 10 inch option that looks way better.
Manrique Molina on the Sorento?
Thank you Steve. It's just year update, so i guess Kia is saving all the big changes for the ALL NEW Sorento! Thank you Steve always for tuning in.
Manrique Molina okay, that’s good to know. I did read KIA is about to roll out the completely redesigned Sorento soon. That’s likely next year.
Нормальный пепелац. Из особенностей: бензиновый двигатель требует более частой смены масла. Задний дифференциал ломкий Киа так и не признала проблему - требует внимательного отношения и смазки. В целом очень достойный аппарат. Планирую брать. Корейцы молодцы.

Sorry I fall in love to Palisade already. Hyundai hits up the segment full size SUV now, there's many SUV we usually see around like Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, Kia Sorento, but now Hyundai joins into with big baby Palisade. Let's see how that segment works many units.
Yes, Phu. Palisade is a strong contender among large SUVs. But there's Telluride for Kia. And Sorento should be compared to Hyundai Santa Fe. Both are very nice cars. So it's up to your personal taste. Design. Thank you.
i am surprised there are no more significant changes for the U.S. Market. I doubt KIA will even give us the 2.2 diesel they said was coming.
Yes, Carl. 2.2 diesel, wouldn't easy for US markets.
is there a difference from previous model 2019? i think its just the same...
Yes, not much. This is just a year update. Thank you NurSein for tuning in. And please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
for sure.. thanks
Siempre he querido tener este precioso auto pero mi economía no me da para comprármelo ya que en Panamá donde vivo esta bastante caro 😭. Ojalá un día pueda tener el dinero para comprarlo
Yes, Rolando. Let's keep dreaming high and get our dream car soon. thanks
I disagree with the decision to remove blind spot detection as a standard feature. My wife drives the 2019 Santa Fe and the blind spot detection is by far our favorite modern new safety feature

It looks nice! It hasn't been released here in US yet
I hope they do soon. thanks Bobylee for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing! thank you!
@@AsianPetrolhead I already subscribed by the way are those Korean versions are they are as strong as americans version ?
I own the MY 2018 GT-Line model, this 2020 update is pretty much the same, except for additional nice-to-have features, saying that I wish I can have the HUD installed if possible :)
All in all a very nice to drive car, the two things that bugs me a little are:
1. The gear box can behave weird sometimes, especially in a up hill situation when speed is between 40-60km/h and 80-100km/h, causing uncomfortable feeling.
2. On slightly narrower streets even with the lane departure warning system keeps beeping, the Lane keeping assist system can still drive you to the road sides.
Hello, David. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
What do you mean by "18.2 km/h" consumption?? It is km/L, right?
Yes, crazy right? I was cruising 90~100km/h on the highway.
What is auto hold? What does it do?
It holds the brakes for you when you use auto hold. It will be useful waiting for the signal. thanks
Not sure about the double single exhaust or the chrome Rims... Other than that... It looks decent.
Hi Maximus. Dual exhaust must been nicer. Thank you!
My friend Asian-Petrolhead',...I much prefer Hyundai the brand to Kia, but I know these two company's share a lot of components & Kia's are great cars like Hyundai. I've always liked the Sorento & the Optima, but I'm just not crazy about the Kia corporate grill,...I guess they call it "Tiger-Tooth!!!...Its's ok but I prefer Hyundai's Cascading grille, but Kia still makes a great product that's for sure!...Thanks for the review of Sorento my friend as always!
Well, they are calling it tiger nose. LOL... Yes, they share many components together. So, it all depends about design and your brand preference. Thank you.
I'm opposite, I prefer Kia's grille design to Hyundai's, everyone's different though.
I feel like the grill is an easy thing to change.
Great review Charlie! You should answer your own question. Do you think this is better than the new Santa Fe? I'd say no because the Santa Fe is brand new and drives a bit better is is better priced than the Sorento. I'm waiting for the all new Sorento!
Hello John. To be honest, i thought Santa Fe was better. Because last time i drove Sorento (2018) it was front wheel drive version, didn’t handle so well. But this tester with all wheel drive system felt confident around corners. So if i had to choose now. I would choose Sorento.
@@AsianPetrolhead Interesting! I'm very excited about the all new Sorento coming soon. Thanks for your input.
Thank you John always for supporting us.
@@AsianPetrolhead I appreciate your work Charlie! I hope your channel grows well!
It is growing because of royal viewers like you. Thanks John.
how was the nvh/wind noise?

I'm guessing this version won't be making it to the US.
That old Kia Sorento

I love serento,good 😬
Yes, Kia Sorentos are very nice. Brand new model coming out next year, so stay tuned. Thank you for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing. Happy New Year.
Kia serento new moden very2 nice...😁
So how does it compare to new Santa Fe?
Well, very similar car. Drives similarly, but has different design inside and out. Thank you Yiannis
Everything nice on this new Kia Sorento '20... Just the annoying turn signal sound, it should be more soft and classic. I own a '19 and is the same.
Yes, signal sound same across all models. They should change that. Thank you Carlos for tuning in. And please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
I thought for sure KIA would delete the 3rd row for 2020; especially with the introduction of the Telluride.
Hi Carl, no they are still making 3rd row seats for Sorentos. Thank you.
I love this car I have one (2016). Red alert on the V6 3.3 L engines. Apparently there’s a design defect that has not been making news. The V-6 engine models in early production vehicles have an issue with bolts backing out of the block allowing for exhaust gases to get into the cooling system. If that happens the entire engine needs to be replaced. It seems as though it’s a big problem and generally occurs in models between 100,000 and 120,000 miles. A dealer I spoke to says that they are replacing up to seven engines per week. Not one problem with this car and then all of a sudden this happened. I’m totally pissed. It’s a 6000-8000 engine replacement job. 100% of my service was done with Kia. When the problem took place a code wasn’t thrown and the check engine light never came on. Kia needs to pay for replacement of all of these engines. These cars are now complete garbage on the used car market.
Kia KNOWS they have a problem. And the people taking their complaints on the calls know it to and are completely apologetic. I wonder how long it will take for the company to get hammered by the feds to come clean about the issue.
If there is problem, i hope it gets sorted out soon.
@@AsianPetrolhead I hope so too. My car can’t be repaired because new engines are on back order and they have no idea when new ones will be available. It’s been months now. Kia still has not stepped up and said they would repair it at their expense yet. I’ve been such a fan of their automobiles. I really hope that they do right by me.
I test drove 2019 V6. Nice ride and handling. Comfortable and roomy too. However, I hate the infotainment interior. Very cheap looking. Telluride interior should be adopted.
Thanks for tuning in!
Not so much changes on features compared to 2018 sorento. I wonder why they dont offer V6 engine here in korea.
Anyway, great review
Hello Jay. No V6s are offered in Korea for now. They do only have it for Canivals. And yes only minor changes applied for 2020 year model. Thank you!
😍❤👍KIA👍❤😍
Thank you Osame. Glad you like it.
@@AsianPetrolhead You have good videos
At 8:20 was that a 1st gen sorento?
Yes, wow you have eyes of an eagle!
I own both 1st gen and 2nd gen. I want this next gen too.
Yes.
What is the price in USD and KRW
Hello in Korea it starts around 27,880,000 won and in US (2019) $26,290 US$. Thank you.
So what was the answer about the Santa Fe?
Well, it was an open question. What did you think? Thanks for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing. Thanks.
Asian Petrolhead Ha ha, I was hoping you’d shed some light on it! As much as I like Sorrento, I find it looks heavy and bulky. Maybe it’s more practical because of that over Santa Fe? I much prefer the rear side windows with the Santa Fe update over the previous more triangular one. In Australia, we only get the diesel with Santa Fe except the base Active model. We do get both options all the way through with Sorrento. Having a very efficient Golf petrol engine, I’m not sure if I’d go diesel.
In any case, both are in my top 3 SUVs to buy, with Skoda Kodiaq on top at the moment.
I’ll subscribe, but please include more metric measurements. eg kW and Nm for power and torque. I’ve also gotten used to litres per 100km, so 18.2km/l becomes a Golf petrol equaling 5.49l/100km on the highway.
We have a 2019 Sorento and a 2020 Soul. And this is from a former Toyota or Honda only guy.
Wow, changing from Honda and Toyota. Big dea. Thank you for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing. thank you.
Had a 4 runner then , Honda Pilot , now Kia telluride and Kia Sorento , Kia drives much better and is really well made ,
I feel sorry for ppl who still look down on Kia .
sam john That Telluride is a sweet machine!
When test kia carnival. Waiting u upload 😎😎
Yes we will schedule one!
Where do we keep the cover when we use the third row?
I think KIA and also Hyundai could be Better than some primium European brands. They just have to listen up the costumers!
Good observation Paulo. Same problem i have with my Veracruz. So i just roll the cover, which ends up taking space of even tiny space. So that is bummer.
Asian Petrolhead I have a Santa 2007...😀
I am so glad for you that you know where there are NO police to bother you when driving like maniac. ;)
Hah yes. Lets just keep it between us. Thanks.
Car is great in many ways but ground clearance is low for an suv. Makes it look like a minivan and somewhat spoils the look in addition to limiting its off road capability..
To be honest with you this is the same Sorento from 2018 after facelift.
Yes, not much has changed from 2019 year model. Just a mild mid cycle change. thank you.
Y el precio en dólares?
Hello Ara. Don't have 2020 Pricing yet, but in the US 2019 year model is starting from $26,290. Thank you
@@AsianPetrolhead okey gracias 👍
