The Sorento achieved 82% for adult occupant protection, 85% for child occupant protection, 63% for pedestrian protection, and 87% in the 'Safety Assist' category.

Seat and head restraint tests demonstrated good passenger protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision. The Sorento's Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist system also helped the car avoid impacts during testing for the 'Safety Assist' category.
The car's safety rating was reinforced by the Advanced High Strength Steel bodyshells that underpin each Sorento SUV, with torsional rigidity that is 12.5% higher than the perceived 'safety leader' in the Sorento's segment.
Every car is fitted with seven airbags, including a new front centre airbag, a new innovation that provides additional head protection for front-seat occupants. All Sorento models are equipped as standard with Kia's Vehicle Stability Management and Electronic Stability Control systems to help drivers maintain control under braking and cornering.
