NHTSA 5-Star rating for 2016 Sorento

Kia’s all-new 2016 Sorento CUV has received the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) 5-star overall safety rating. Kia's best-selling CUV, the Sorento has sold more than 100,000 units each of the past five years, and offers a long list of standard safety features and an expertly engineered body structure.

"NHTSA's recent 5-star rating of the 2016 Sorento is a testament to Kia's commitment to safety," said Orth Hedrick, Kia Motors America vice president, product planning. "The Sorento is all-new for 2016 and is Kia's most capable CUV ever, yet still offers customers Kia's well-known value. Meant for customers with active lifestyles, Sorento is the perfect getaway vehicle for adventurers and families on the go, and they can feel confident knowing their vehicle scored a 5-star NHTSA rating - the highest rating achievable from NHTSA."

The core of the all-new 2016 Sorento is its significantly enhanced platform. The structure increases torsional rigidity by 14 percent over the 2015 Sorento. The unit-body consists of 53 percent Advanced High Strength Steel, a 115 percent increase over the previous model. Liberal application of industrial strength adhesives, the use of dual-seal lip joints as well as large diameter and laser welding techniques combine to make the 2016 model the most robust and durable Sorento ever.
