The 2015 Kia Sorento Passes NHTSA Crash Tests With Five-Star Score

Sep 14, 2014

If you are looking for a spacious family vehicle, come to Classic Kia. We have the new 2015 Kia Sorento, which is built safe for families, at our Kia dealership near Gurnee. Recently, the vehicle underwent government crash testing and received top marks.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration puts new vehicles through a battery of tough crash tests each year to set safety standards and help consumers. They’re also a critical part of the car recall process. After putting the 2015 Kia Sorento through their tests, they gave it an overall five-star safety score. That is broken down into five stars in the front and side crash tests and four stars in the rollover tests.

So far, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has not put the crossover through their unique set of crash safety tests, but we are sure they would come up with similar results. After all, the 2015 Kia Sorento has a number of great safety features like front-seat side airbags and side curtain airbags. There’s also the Uvo telematics system that lets the user call for roadside assistance and will automatically call for help after a crash.

The 2015 Kia Sorento fits the gap between compact and midsize crossover SUVs. That extra size provides enough room to add an optional third row or upgrade to a V6 engine, features not commonly found on compact SUVs. By staying smaller than a midsize, the 2015 Kia Sorento is easier to handle and can get up to 27 miles per gallon on the highway. Contact our Kia dealership today to learn more!
