The tested model of Kia Sorento was introduced in Australia during 2009. In 2010 a passenger seat belt reminder and a dual pretensioner on the driver seat were introduced on the Australian model. This 5 star ANCAP safety rating applies to diesel 4WD Sorentos with these added safety features.
The diesel left-hand-drive European model was tested by Euro NCAP. Australasian specifications may vary and therefore models sold in Australasia might provide different levels of protection to those described on this page.
Dual front airbags, side airbags and head-protecting side curtain airbags are standard equipment. Antilock brakes (ABS), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and electronic stability control (ESC) are also standard. Intelligent seat belt reminders are fitted to both front seats.
Pretensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than a two point (lap) seat belt.
