The Kia Sorento is getting transformed to celebrate the American Road, just in time for the 2015 SEMA Show.

Called the PacWest Adventure Sorento, Kia is giving its SUV an off-road look for Las Vegas this year. Although the Korean automaker didn’t disclose many details about the project, it did release a teaser image showing a new fabricated front bumper with all the goodies you would typically spy on an off-road vehicle including LED light bars, snorkel intake and tubular front bumper sporting plenty of sheetmetal. Of course, there will be off-road wheels and tires while the Sorento will surely be lifted for better ground clearance.

It appears that Kia is going with a shade of bright green for the project, closely resembling the paint found on various Lamborghini models. At past SEMA Shows, Kia showcased numerous modified vehicles that cater to all different crowds, so it’s unlikely the Sorento is the only vehicle showing up this year. For now, that’s all Kia wants to tease, and you can check out a short video on the modified Sorento below. Check back with AutoGuide.com next week for live coverage of the 2015 SEMA Show where we will be sure to check out everything Kia has to offer.
