SAFETY INNOVATION

Industry-leading safety features

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)

When you want to change lane, the Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist system detects any vehicle(s) in your blind spot and alerts you with a warning symbol in your side mirror and on the head-up display inside the car. Should you start to change lane while a car is in your blind spot, the Sorento will automatically apply the brakes to avoid a collision, the side mirror and head-up warning symbols will flash, and an audible alert will sound. *This feature is available in SX + SXL models only.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)

Evaluating both camera and radar data from your vehicle, the FCA system analyses information about other cars, pedestrians, or cyclists crossing the road to avoid a potential collision with them. FCA also functions to prevent collisions with vehicles when making a left turn at an intersection. A warning signal appears on your instrument cluster, and maximum braking power is applied If it detects a potential collision.

Rear Occupant Alert (ROA)

ROA reminds drivers to check the rear seats when exiting the vehicle with a cluster display message to prevent children and pets from being forgotten in the car. *This feature is available in SX + SXL models only.

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)

At your side to keep you focused: a camera at the front of the car monitors lane markings, and if the driver moves out of the lane unintentionally, LKA alerts you and even steers you back to your lane. *This feature is available in SX + SXL models only.

Lane Following Assist (LFA)

Kia’s level 2 autonomous driving system takes a giant leap towards semi-automated driving. In collaboration with Smart Cruise Control, LFA controls acceleration, braking, and steering depending on the vehicles in front. This makes driving in traffic jams easier and safer. The system uses camera and radar sensors to maintain a safe distance to the preceding vehicle and monitors road markings to keep your car in the centre of your lane. LFA works between 0 and 180 km/h. *This feature is available in SX + SXL models only.

Performance

All-wheel drive for all-round adventure

The Sorento’ s all-wheel-drive technology is designed to make every drive and adventure more comfortable. Innovative, continuously active all-wheel drive ensures the vehicle maintains excellent traction on rough, loose, or slippery surfaces and helps improve lateral stability when cornering. And with the new Terrain Mode Select function, you can easily stay in control by switching between Drive mode and Terrain mode

Dual-clutch transmission (DCT)

The Sorento 2.2 CRDi comes with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, which results in lightning-quick and incredibly smooth gear changes to give a more dynamic driving performance.
