Let’s hope it arrives in the fourth quarter. The new Sorrento was coming July but no sign yet. I think COVID is impacting all the arrival dates of new vehicles. Wonder how the new standard exhaust will sound. Are you trading up Shannon??

I'll stick with my trusty MY18 although I do like some of the new features such as larger view screen and leather but I'm not a fan of the lighting.
The new exhaust will be interesting and probably less restrictive as it's supposed to give a slight power increase.

I like the bigger screen too & I also like the new rear tail lights.
Don’t like the new front DRL’s & not a fan of the quilted seats.

The DRL's are different only on the 2.5ltr, 3.3 has same 1's as ours does now only rear lights change and different wheels...oh bi-modal exhaust for 3.3.

TBH not super impressed with what I've seen so I'll stick with my my18 for now, hopefully it looks better in the metal. Also gotta wonder if the larger screen will retrofit to an earlier model...

Was told today by dealer I could not order my21 with Red Leather interior. Was told this won't be an option in Australia



As soon as I can decide in colour I will order.

Was considering ceramic grey with red interior

which dealer? I dont believe they have discontinued any colours so they probably just want you to buy whats in stock.

We've only been offered 5 colours for the 2021 facelift here in NZ. The biggest omission is Micro Blue, told it was not popular. And we never had the option of red leather interior. Limited market I guess....

Wow that sucks the red leather is really nice. I just got of the phone with a kia dealer here in aus and was told all colors and interiors will be available for order, nothing has changed in terms of what color combos are available and there is a new blue color available. He said dealers are saying otherwise as stock is currently limited but if you dont mind a short wait you can get the combo you want.

Let's hope the dealer has got it wrong, but we definitely did not get the option of changing the interior. I was told Kia NZ pick a model and go with those, no options. Will be interesting to see what they offer us, and the new pricing. When I preregistered (as I have already put down a deposit on the 2021 GT 3.3TT, this is what they sent through:

Any word if Aus is getting a "Black Pack" option? Black badging etc? I don't mean the previous Special Night Sky edition. I read somewhere (although it might only be in USA) that they were going to make available a black pack which may have even included some Matt Black Wheels.

I definitely will wait for a 2021 facelift model.

Ceramic Grey with Red Leather. No one can give me pricing for even indicative arrival time at this stage.

Speculation is price will be 2K AUD more expensive but that's ok given it now has factory bi moral exhaust...

Also not sure how hard I can push for discount... No way I'm paying MSRP.

 

[Aarondglover]

Actually @ShannonC article makes mention of
selected markets getting

" the ‘Dark Package’, gracing the rear diffuser, exhaust tips and badging with a gloss black finish, and the ‘Black Package’, which adds 19-inch black alloy wheels, a rear lip spoiler and black mirror caps and front fender trim."

I think this could be nice. Wonder if it will make it to Aus

If they offer a discount here in NZ, they remove the free servicing, and when you get 4 years, it's a bit to throw away

That would be cool if that made it here too... not hopeful though

Don't believe they offer free servicing here... Just called price servicing for 7 years and 7 years warranty (possibly road side assistance too)

They offer 4 years' free servicing up to 40,000kms and 5 years/100,000kms warranty including roadside assist here.

Any time frames... Tentative or otherwise.. any word on options such as dark or black pack?

Get the feeling 64 might be achievable?
