You can even use the turn signals and lights that function as functioning lights.

Although there are many Motor1.com members who have a hobby of building models, it is safe to say that none of them has the same skill as Lee Sang-Won. He created a scale model from scratch of the new 2021 Kia Sorento using 3d-printed components and lots of customization. Kia provided access to CAD models for the new Sorento, which he used to build the body structure.

Lee Sang-Won has created a masterpiece. The model looks almost like a Sorento, even though it is not scaled. He uses LEDs for functional headlights, turn signal, and taillights. These functions can be controlled via remote control. There are additional lights inside, behind the instrument panel and information screen.

It is amazing how detailed the work was, especially considering that everything had to be built from scratch. He has to use tiny pieces of masking tape for the dashboard. To add small details, such as buttons and other parts of the interior, he also makes decals in Photoshop. Kia assists by providing tiny, metal versions its emblem.

The new Sorento has a wheelbase of 1.37 inches (35 milimeters) more than the previous model. It also has an overall length that is 0.4 inches (10 milimeters). The crossover weighs in at 176 pounds (80 kg) less than the previous model.

American customers are not yet able to choose from the engine range. Customers in Korea can choose between a hybrid-assisted turbocharged turbocharged 1.6-liter four cylinder, a 2.5 liter turbocharged four cylinder, or a 2.2 liter turbodiesel.
