When you’re transporting precious cargo, safety is a top priority in your search for the perfect vehicle. Luckily, you can drive confidently when you’re behind the wheel of the 2019 Kia Sorento, an IIHS Top Safety Pick+. Take a look at some of the features that make this model so appealing and safe.
Well-Equipped With Innovative Features
The 2019 Kia Sorento comes standard with a long list of features designed to protect you and your passengers, as well as the other drivers around you on the road. These include anti-lock brakes, hill-start assist control, electronic stability control, traction control, and a rearview camera with dynamic guidelines. Additionally, the vehicle has advanced dual front airbags, side-curtain airbags in the first and second rows, a rollover sensor, a tire pressure monitoring system, and side-impact door beams with front and rear crumple zones.
You can further upgrade the Sorento to include features that make the vehicle even safer. The upper four trim levels come standard with a suite of safety features that includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, a driver attention warning system, traffic adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning with lane-keep assist. All but the base trim include blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, while the top five trims have rear parking sensors.
High-End Additional Safety Features
At the top of the list of the seven trim levels is the SX Limited. This model comes with additional features that can further improve your safety when you’re on the road. With the SX Limited, you’ll get automatic windshield wipers, a surround-view parking camera system, and automatic high-beam headlights. The top trim level also comes with additional convenience and comfort features, such as upgraded leather upholstery, heated outboard second-row seats, ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. All of these features are available as an option on the SX trim.
Top Safety Pick
When equipped with LED headlights and the suite of safety features that comes standard on the top four trims, the Sorento is an IIHS Top Safety Pick+. The vehicle scored the top “Good” rating in all IIHS crash testing, which includes small overlap front, driver and passenger side, moderate overlap front, and side crashes, as well as the roof strength and head restraint and seat safety.
When assessing a vehicle for safety ratings, the IIHS reviews several key aspects. In order to qualify as a Top Safety Pick+, a car, truck, or SUV must achieve the top “good” rating in all major crash tests, score an advanced or superior rating for front crash prevention, and have a good rating for its headlights.
Power and Performance
Along with the wide range of safety features, the 2019 Sorento is also quite fun to drive. It is powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 178 pound-feet of torque and 185 horsepower. If that’s not enough power for you, upgrade to the 3.3-liter V-6 unit that produces 252 pound-feet of torque and 290 horsepower.
