Some models stick around the market longer than others. The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/kia/sorento/">Kia Sorento</a>, for example, lasted for a good eight years in its first iteration, and the second-generation model has been around for five years now. Sure, it had a facelift a couple of years ago, but if it's going to make it in the highly competitive midsize crossover market, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/kia/sorento/">Kia</a> is going to have to do better than that.<br />
<br />
And that appears to be just what it has in store. Following the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/09/04/kia-sorrento-successor-spy-shots/">previous spy shots</a> we brought you from the N&uuml;rburgring the better part of a year ago, the next-generation Sorento has now been spotted shlepping a trailer up a mountain.<br />
<br />
Expected to debut as soon as the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/paris-motor-show/">Paris Motor Show</a> in October, the third-generation Kia Sorento appears to have grown longer in order to better accommodate third-row passengers. You can also expect the latest technologies on board and maybe, just maybe, a plug-in hybrid powertain option.
