The Top Safety Pick+ award is given by the IIHS for vehicles receiving a “Good” score on five crashworthiness tests: small and moderate overlap frontal areas, side and roof strength, and head restraints and seat safety. Additionally, vehicles must also have an available front crash prevention system earning an “Advanced” or “Superior” rating, and may grade lower than “Acceptable” in headlight testing.

 

“Kia’s commitment to building durable, capable vehicles is underscored by Sorento receiving this tremendous safety accolade,”

said Orth Hedrick, vice president, product planning, KMA.
