5 Safety Features of the 2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid

The 2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid is an impressive mid-size SUV that combines 3 rows of seating with up to an EPA-estimated 37 MPG combined fuel economy. In addition to a long list of tech and convenience features, the Sorento Hybrid comes with 15 standard Drive Wise advanced safety technologies. Keep reading to learn more about how these features are helping drivers stay safer on the road.  

1. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist

This feature monitors the road ahead of you to detect cars, pedestrians, and cyclists that may pose a collision risk. When the system predicts a potential collision, it warns the driver, then applies the brakes automatically if the driver doesn’t respond. The Sorento Hybrid’s system can also detect and respond to oncoming vehicles when you’re making a left turn.

2. Safe Exit Assist

After you’ve parked your Sorento Hybrid, Safe Exit Assist continues to look out for you by monitoring the sides of your vehicle and warning you if another vehicle is approaching from behind. With this alert, you and your passengers can avoid exiting into oncoming traffic.

3. Lane Departure Warning

Lane Departure Warning is a system that detects lane markers on the road and alerts you if you are drifting out of your lane unintentionally. If you don’t return to your lane on your own, Lane Keep Assist can automatically apply corrective steering. These systems aren’t activated if you’re using your turn signal or the system detects that you’re making an intentional lane change.

4. Blind Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist

With this system, you’ll see a visible warning any time there’s another vehicle in your blind spot. If you try to change lanes when another vehicle is present, you’ll hear an audible warning and the system will help your Sorento Hybrid stay in its lane. SX Prestige models also come with a Blind View Monitor, which displays a live camera view of your blind spot in the instrument cluster whenever you activate your turn signal.

5. Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control

Highway driving is easier and safer with the Sorento Hybrid’s standard Smart Cruise Control, which detects the vehicle ahead of you and automatically adjusts its speed to maintain your selected following distance. When traffic is particularly heavy, this technology can even bring your vehicle to a complete stop and resume travel automatically. It also uses your vehicle’s navigation system to detect upcoming curves in the road and slows your vehicle to a safe speed.
