Safety
Kia covers all the basics on safety: There are frontal-impact airbags, a driver’s knee airbag and side curtain airbags for the first and second row. The Sorento has stability and traction control, as well as active head restraints in the front row. But there’s not much beyond that safety-wise, except the Sorento’s 4x4 capabilities, which will help you get out of wintery, muddy or bouldery binds.
The Sorento also has a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty and five-year/60,000-mile 24-hour roadside assistance. That never hurts.
Did I feel safe in the Sorento? Sure, for the most part. But I did wonder if those awkward, clunky-feeling driving moments would wear off with time or if they’d continue to pose driving challenges. Only time would tell.
