Head Turner: Kia Sorento and the Promise of Prestige

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Lifestyles differ and needs change but the prestige a Kia Sorento brings is consistent.

Prestige is something that Kia Sorento exudes from all angles, from inside or out. Whether you’re out with friends on a road trip, on a Saturday date night, or on a daily family trip to school, Kia Sorento is the face of prestige you’ll want to be seen in.

There is elegance, smooth surfacing, and stylish functionality– three key design elements that one can appreciate and enjoy.

This 7-seater performance SUV from the Korean auto giant is a stunning sight on the road.

Kia Sorento is first and foremost a capable off-roader, while combining a robust and modern profile with sophistication inside. Straight, clean lines outline its silhouette and once you look closer, elegant details are accentuated as well. LED positioning lamps, distinctive rear combination lamps, and newly designed alloy wheels make for its standout stature.

Adding a touch of fun, a panoramic sunroof gives off a fresher experience on your every ride. Sorento’s three-quarter length glass encased roof with tilt and slide sunroof lets cool breeze and sun rays in, giving both driver and passengers a unique taste of their driving environment (EX variant only).

Kia knows the importance of comfort and convenience and Kia Sorento takes this enjoyment a notch higher.

The Beetle is an icon. It has inspired countless stories all over the world, Hollywood included. It is a story by itself. The success story of the Volkswagen Beetle has played no small role in making it an icon of automotive history. The new generation now bridges the gap from old and familiar to new lifestyles. With a new design and the latest technologies, the Beetle reveals itself as a car of the 21st century – bolder, more dynamic and truly engineered to play.

“The Beetle has always been special to me. I first learned how to drive with a Beetle and will always have fond memories, as I’m sure many Filipinos do. And now, the new Beetle is made easier to own with the introduction of our newest variant; making the most iconic car more accessible to Filipinos”, said Mr. JP Orbeta, president of Automobile Central Enterprise, Inc.
