10 Oct 2021|1,325 views
Kia has unveiled the modified, trail-ready Sorento Plug-in Hybrids (PHEVs) that will compete in the Rebelle Rally.
Inspired by the rugged and adventurous Zion and Yosemite Sorento X-Line concepts revealed last year, the rally-ready Sorento PHEVs have been outfitted to take on the elements of the punishing 2,200km navigational desert challenge.
Customised by women-owned LGE-CTS Motorsports in Southern California, the Sorento PHEVs are wrapped with colour schemes similar to the exclusive 'Desert Sand' and 'Pine Green' paint finishes on the Zion and Yosemite concepts.
Each vehicle has been modified with underbody armor to protect the undercarriage, plus a front bumper guard and skid plate. Tow points have been affixed to the front and rear bumpers, while a one-inch spacer lift provides a slight increase in ground clearance. Both rally vehicles sit atop 17-inch KMC matte black wheels and Hankook Dynapro AT2 all-terrain tyres.
Up top, the rally vehicles have been equipped with a roof rack for the teams' recovery gear, including tread boards and shovels. For additional recovery gear, like tools and safety equipment, the Sorento PHEV's rear seats have been taken out to make room for an interior cargo mounting system.
