The Sorento has earned five-stars, the federal government's highest side-impact safety rating, for the front seat occupant and rear-seat passengers in side impact crash tests, from the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Every Sorento has an energy absorbing steering column, reinforced steel crumple zones and side-impact protection. To help protect the little ones, we added rear child safety door locks and a specially designed anchorage system to give an extra secure hold on child safety seats.
Your Sorento also comes equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS). This advanced system is designed to evaluate whether or not someone is seated in the front passenger seat and the position of the front passenger seat occupant to determine the activation of the front passenger air bag.
Of course, the Sorento is built to help you avoid accidents too. Features include available 4-wheel ABS, speed sensitive power steering and high mounted stop lamp. Automatic day/night rearview mirror, halogen headlights, front windshield de-icer, rear-window wiper/washer and defroster help you clearly see what's going on around you.
Door courtesy lights and battery saver come standard. Dual front airbags and front/rear side-curtain airbags are also standard. Of course, don't forget to wear your safety belts. On every outing, just consider them a necessary matched pair.
The Sorento EX includes remote keyless entry with panic alarm and a HomeLink® programmable garage door opener system that allows you to operate your home's security system from inside your vehicle. The EX also includes an outside temperature, compass, altimeter and barometer display. Automatic headlamps and heated seats are also available.Source - Kia

The microsite, conceived by Animated Designs, Kia's interactive agency, has a lifestyle theme that shows the Sorento in a variety of settings displaying its appeal to a wide range of buyers. Visitors to the microsite can easily navigate through several interrelated sections to learn about the vehicle.
