You can also use this system in conjunction with Lane Following Assist, which adjusts your steering to keep you within detected lane markers. 2. Kia Connect Every new Sorento includes a complimentary subscription to Kia Connect, which unlocks a range of safety and convenience features. Using the Kia Access app, you can remotely locate your vehicle, lock its doors, or start its engine.

If an airbag deploys in your Sorento, 911 Connect can automatically send your location to emergency agents. 3.

Blind-Spot Collision Warning Advanced blind-spot detection technology is included in the Sorento to help you avoid a collision with a vehicle in an adjacent lane. On the road, you'll see a visible warning if there's a vehicle in your blind spot, and an audible warning will sound if you signal a lane change. This system can even detect oncoming vehicles when you're exiting a parallel parking space, so you can get onto the road safely every time. 5. Adaptable Cargo Area With the Sorento's flexible cabin, you can choose the exact amount of cargo and passenger space you need for the day's tasks. There's 12.6 cubic feet of space behind the third-row seats for most daily errands, plus a dual-level cargo floor with more storage underneath. The second- and third-row seats fold along either a 50/50 or 60/40 split, so you can easily make room for up to 75.5 cubic feet of equipment, furniture, or gear.
