2020 IIHS Top Safety Pick Award

It’s easy for us to tell you how the Kia Sorento can protect your family while on the Utah highway, but why not hear it from the experts? In 2020, the Kia Sorento earned the 2020 IIHS Top Safety Pick Award for Mid-Sized SUVs, when equipped with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and LED headlights. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Kia Sorento is superior against the competition when it comes to side-impact protection, rear crash protection, front crash prevention, roof strength, and more! The Kia Sorento is a 5/5 in safety and a no brainer for a safe mid-size SUV option for your family.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection (FCA)

The Jerry Seiner Kia Salt Lake team understands that there are sometimes natural distractions that can take your eyes off of the highway, even for a split second. A crying baby, spilled food, or even a simple conversation can cause a crash that changes your life forever. With Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection (FCA)[1], you will have an extra layer of protection from a potential crash. With FCA, your Kia Sorento can apply the brakes if the technology senses an imminent impact and this can, potentially, help to avoid or reduce the impacts of a crash.

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance

Distractions and crashes don’t just happen when you are in drive and forward-moving on the highway. It’s incredibly common for accidents to happen, with both vehicles and pedestrians, while in reverse and backing out of parking spaces or driveways. With Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance (RCCA)[2], you’ll be warned if any potential obstacles and the brakes will be applied if a crash is projected. The Kia Sorento has your front – and your back – covered through every mile of your journey!

Child Safety + Airbags

Your children are your most precious cargo, so it’s important that you are confident that they will be protected in the case of a crash. Thanks to the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system[3], you can have peace of mind that your car seats can be properly and securely installed in your Kia Sorento. You’ll have additional protection for your passengers, thanks to advanced airbag systems that can detect the severity of the crash and deploy airbags accordingly.
