Kia’s American lineup of CUVs, SUVs, and MPVs is one of the most consistent across the market – it has no less than seven model series to choose from. Yet even the large mid-size Sorento does not break the bank.
Crossover SUV goodies for Kia fans start with the under-$20k Soul and four model lines later, the 2022 Sorento still has an MSRP that sits below the $30k threshold. So, in case you do not need the extra space provided by the Carnival MPV or three-row Telluride, this might be the right inexpensive mid-size SUV for you and your family.

But then you would also need to stand out in a crowd a little, right? Well, just in case you have not yet made up your mind about the potential upgrades that could be bestowed upon your new sport utility vehicle, here is Russia-based virtual artist Nikita Chuicko, better known as kelsonik on social media, who has decided to rekindle our affection for his signature CGI “Shadow Line” series.

Thus, following a 2023 Hyundai Palisade that sat low and nasty on a digital, sporty suspension plus a nice set of aftermarket Vossen wheels, here is yet another 2022 Sorento that is virtually revisited for a little bit of extra pizzazz and sporty character. The pixel master’s signature chrome delete treatment called ‘Shadow Line’ bodes well for the crimson attire, while the sporty suspension setup turns this Sorento into a charismatically lowered family SUV.

Of course, enthusiasts of this digital channel might get a little proud-stomached at the sight of yet another 2022 Kia Sorento transformation. But at least the CGI expert made sure to keep things fresh and present us with a third, larger-than-OEM aftermarket wheel choice – probably to make sure that everyone has more than one option to ponder upon. Well, all we can say is these subtle modifications keep hitting them CGI home runs like a charm if you ask us.
