A NHTSA Overall 5-Star Safety Rating award-winner, the all-new 2017 Sorento was also recently chosen as a 2016 IIHS Top Safety Pick+.
Take comfort in the several advanced active safety systems that heighten the Sorento’s stability and control. Cornering Brake Control keeps you on the right path as you turn, while the Brake Assist System can sense emergency braking situations and increase braking pressure when needed. Electronic Brake Force Distribution is also capable of adjusting the braking, from front to rear, depending upon the load. Hill-Start Assist Control will help keep the vehicle from rolling backward on an incline when you’re trying to accelerating from a stationary position. Electronic Stability Control provides more precise handling, and the Traction Control system helps prevent the wheels from spinning.
The new, strengthened structure offers remarkable body rigidity, with a construction that includes the use of 53% advanced high-strength steel. The airbag system uses sensors to detect impact levels and whether a front passenger is present or not, while the front seats feature height-adjustable seat-belt anchors for comfort and security. Car seats install securely thanks to the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system, and every seat in the vehicle has a seat belt with both shoulder and lap straps.
