It’s already Kia Motors America’s best-selling CUV. Now, the 2017 Kia Sorento is even more desirable, after earning a Top Safety Pick Plus rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) when equipped with optional front-crash prevention.
The Kia Sorento is a popular midsize CUV that comes loaded with standard features, including 17-inch alloy wheels, stain-resistant upholstery, and Bluetooth® audio connectivity. The Sorento is also versatile and is available in five- and seven-passenger configurations.
But what makes the 2017 Sorento a true winner is its excellent safety standards. In addition to its Top Safety Pick Plus rating, the 2017 Sorento also earned “good” crashworthiness ratings and a superior rating for the optional front-crash prevention system.
To qualify for a Top Safety Pick Plus rating, vehicles must earn “good” ratings in each of the five crashworthiness tests – small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side impact, roof strength and head restraints – as well as an “advanced” or “superior” rating for front crash prevention.
