2023 Kia Sorento Driving on Curvy Road
 

Kia safety ratings are excellent across the board—and the 2023 Kia Sorento safety ratings do not disappoint. With a four-star overall score from the NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick designation from the IIHS, you can always feel confident behind the wheel of your Sorento.

In what follows, we’ll take an in-depth look at the safety ratings assigned by these two major agencies: the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. We’ll also cover the Kia Sorento safety features in detail, so you’ll know exactly what to look for when you stop into our Lancaster dealership for a test drive.
