Nobody ever plans on getting into a car crash. But if it happens, you want to be in a vehicle that prioritizes your safety. The 2024 Kia Forte meets top safety standards to keep you and your loved ones protected in an accident. Let's look at the safety rating of the 2024 Forte. more The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the 2024 Forte an overall safety rating of 4/5 stars. This safety rating is based on the Kia Forte's performance in frontal crash, side-impact, and rollover tests. The 2024 Forte received 4/5 stars for the frontal test. This means that the front airbags and seatbelts work effectively to restrain passengers during a head-on collision. The 2024 Forte received 5/5 stars in the side-impact test, with the side airbags providing adequate protection for the front and rear passengers. A 4/5 star rating in the rollover test shows there's only a 10% risk of the Forte rolling over during a single-vehicle crash. With an overall four-star rating, the 2024 Forte provides adequate safety for everyone on board during a crash. What are the Safety Features of the 2024 Forte? Occupant Safety Features All trims of the 2024 Forte are equipped with multiple airbags to cushion passengers during a crash. We have dual front advanced airbags and dual side airbags that protect the driver and front passenger from severe collision injuries. Full-length side curtain airbags cushion all passengers during a side impact. Everyone on board should be buckled up for the airbags to work during a collision. Seatbelts prevent you from being ejected from the vehicle, which is almost always fatal. When traveling with young kids, use the LATCH attachment system in the Kia Forte to secure the car seats and maximize safety. Active Safety Features Besides the airbags, the 2024 Forte is equipped with an electronic stability control (ESC) system. On slippery roads, ESC adjusts braking and engine power to maintain the vehicle's stability. It also helps control the vehicle during emergency braking. The Forte also has a traction control system (TCS) that detects loss of traction on wet or icy roads and tight corners. If a tire loses its grip on the road, the system applies the brakes to that specific tire and cuts the engine's power to prevent skidding. Driver Assistance Technologies The 2024 Forte comes with the Kia Wise suite of driver assistance technologies. These features can help prevent a collision from happening in the first place. Standard features include forward collision avoidance with pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, lane following assist, and driver attention warning. Higher trim levels add features such as rear cross-traffic collision warning, blind spot warning, cyclist detection, and safe exit warning. Visit Burns Motors Kia in Orangeburg, SC to test-drive the Forte and check out some of these features in action.

The 2024 Kia Sorento is one of Kia's most successful models. This small SUV has clever engineering that makes it ready to take on even the most challenging terrain and plenty of advanced tech features to entertain your passengers on long trips. more The Sorento is prepared for off-road driving: even the base LX with its standard front-wheel-drive. One key to this SUV's off-road performance is the front and rear independent suspension. An independent suspension is ideal for off-road driving since all four wheels can move independently. This independence gives drivers more freedom to roll over rocky terrain without disrupting the vehicle's stability. The LX has a ground clearance of 6.9 inches, which is ideal for driving on bumpy off-road terrain since a higher vehicle gives the undercarriage more room to avoid jutting obstacles beneath the vehicle. This vehicle's height is also perfect for driving on muddy roads or through deep puddles. The LX is also equipped with selectable drive modes, such as the Sport drive mode, to enhance the performance of the engine for more power. Powertrain The Sorento LX has a spiffy 2.5-liter engine that generates an output of 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. This engine is matched with an eight-speed automatic transmission and idle stop-and-go technology that improves overall fuel consumption. The LX has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 lbs. Two key off-road performance features are hill start assist and downhill brake control. Each of these features is crucial for controlling the SUV's performance on hilly roads, either by preventing the Sorento from rolling backward or helping the SUV maintain a steady crawling speed. With these features, you can confidently steer on steep inclines or declines. Exterior Features Exterior features are also important for enhancing the off-road capabilities of an SUV. The Sorento LX is equipped with 17-inch wheels, which are crafted with a sturdy alloy material that can tolerate the stress of off-road driving. This model also has LED projector headlights that can serve you well on off-road trails since the light from projector bulbs is intensely concentrated. The Kia Sorento is a wonderful SUV if you love to go camping or enjoy off-road travels on the weekend. This model is equipped with a variety of features ideal for off-roading, such as the SUV's towing capacity or hill start assist. Book a test drive at Burns Kia in Orangeburg, SC to see if this SUV meets your off-road needs.

Kia's are fuel-efficient, reliable, and cater to every budget. Each new Kia also comes with an industry-leading warranty to give you extra peace of mind. As your Kia dealer, we want to tell you about some of the main features of your Kia warranty. more Basic Warranty This warranty covers most systems and components in your vehicle against any defect. Kia's are built to high standards of quality control, and in the unlikely event that a labor or material-related issue appears, the situation will be corrected ASAP. All repairs or adjustments are performed by Kia-trained technicians using only Kia-approved replacement parts. Schedule your next appointment online with ease here. Warranty protection applies for the first five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Maintenance items and damage caused by general wear and tear are not covered by warranty. Additional situations not covered by warranty include damage due to unauthorized repairs, accidental damage, or damage due to insufficient maintenance. These situations are detailed in your warranty handbook. Powertrain Warranty The powertrain includes your engine, transmission, transaxles, axles, differentials, and propeller shafts. These are the most expensive and complex systems in your vehicle, and they are essential for your vehicle to be able to drive. These systems are covered for ten years or 120,000 miles for the original owner. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ If you sell your Kia, the warranty on the powertrain isn't transferrable. In this circumstance, the powertrain is covered for any remaining portion of the basic warranty. Certain circumstances and situations that might occur are not covered by warranty, and their details are specified in your warranty handbook. Adjustment Coverage Service adjustments are any changes or alternations that don't require replacement parts. This includes adjusting seatbelts, car belts, cables, levers, or pedals. These and any other adjustments will be performed at no charge for the first year or 12,000 miles. Battery Coverage Your original battery is protected by warranty for the first three years or 36,000 miles. If the battery fails due to a warranty-related issue, it will be replaced at no charge. Audio/Entertainment System Coverage Your stereo, CD player, DVD player, and navigation system are protected for three years or 36,000 miles. Brake and Clutch Linings Coverage Your brake pads, shoes, and clutch linings are all protected for one year or 12,000 miles under normal usage. These components gradually wear out as they work, and this type of damage is not covered by warranty. Paint Your car paint consists of several layers to enhance the color. The final layer is a clear coat that protects the color against fading. If your paint suffers from chipping, discoloration, fading, or flaking during the first three years or 36,000 miles, this situation will be corrected at a Kia dealer. If you'd like to know more about your warranty, contact us today at Burns Kia in Orangeburg, SC.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​A muggy South Carolina summer day is definitely not the time to discover your AC isn't working. As your Kia dealer, we can quickly and efficiently repair any possible AC problem. These are a few signs that you need to visit us for some AC maintenance. more Compressor Problems The compressor is the most important part of the AC system. It converts liquid refrigerant back into a gas, and it pushes air through the system so it can be chilled and blown into the cabin. A worn or damaged compressor can prevent the air from being cooled sufficiently or even stop the AC from working. A compressor can fail due to age, a broken compressor clutch, a blown fuse, damaged wiring, or insufficient refrigerant. If you don't hear a slight click every now and again, the compressor isn't switching on. If you do hear a click, the compressor is working but could lack refrigerant. Our technicians will need to examine your compressor to determine the exact problem. We can easily repair any compressor problem or replace a failed compressor with a new one, and your AC will work correctly again. Noisy AC AC systems don't make any significant sound when they're working properly, except for the slight click mentioned above and the sound of cold air gusting into the cabin. Odd noises like rusting, rattling, or clunking are all signs something has gone wrong. Rusting sounds are usually the least worrisome, as they generally mean leaves or dirt are trapped in the AC, and we need to clean the ducts to fix this issue. Rattling or clunking noises could mean hard objects, like gravel, have entered the ducts or the AC has loose or damaged components. Damaged bearings, for example, will cause clunking noises, and they will cause the compressor to fail if they're not replaced. We'll examine your AC, identify the cause of the trouble, and repair it. Bad Smells From the AC If you turn on the AC and smell a musty, earthy smell, bacteria have invaded your AC. This is a common problem and usually occurs during winter. During this time of year, your AC isn't switched on, and the dark AC ducts and the presence of water provide a fertile ground for bacteria to thrive. You'll only really know they're there when you turn on the AC again in summer. Fortunately, this is a quick and very inexpensive issue to fix. Our technicians will add an antibacterial solution to the AC and turn it on. The solution will blow through the system and rapidly remove any traces of bacteria. Your AC will be safe and hygienic again within minutes. If your AC isn't working correctly, contact our service department today at Burns Kia in Orangeburg, SC.

In today's Kia cars, you'll find a very comprehensive set of technology-based safety features called Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. The Kia safety features allow you to have more peace of mind while driving, as you know you have useful technology helping you watch out for collisions, monitor your surroundings, and much more. Let's explore the various features so you can see how they'll benefit you when you get your next Kia car. more Auto Emergency Braking Kia cars are equipped with sensors and radars that allow them to detect where other cars are around them. Whether you're in the city, on the highway, or even turning at a junction, your vehicle can detect when other motorists are so close that you may crash into them. The feature can also detect cyclists and pedestrians, making it even better at keeping you safer. First, you get a warning about a potential collision, ideally giving you enough time to stop. If you don't hit the brakes on time, then your car can do it for you in an attempt to prevent a crash. Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist Your car doesn't stop monitoring the world around you when it's time to back into or out of a parking space. If there's something too close to the back of your car, then your Kia can automatically engage the brakes. This works whether you're about to hit any obstacle; it aims to prevent collisions with anything that's in your way. Blind Spot Collision Warning Seeing objects in your blind spot can be difficult while driving. Your Kia makes it a lot easier to stay safe, especially when changing lanes because it lets you know if you're in danger of colliding with another car that's in your blind spot. It can also redirect you to your previous course if you attempt to change lanes after your car tells you there's an object in your blind spot. View Monitors There are two types of monitors you may find in a Kia car: a blind spot view monitor and a surround view monitor. The blind spot view monitor lets you fully check your blind spots without having to look behind you. Meanwhile, the surround view monitor can be helpful when you're parking, as it helps you avoid obstacles and safely maneuver your car into smaller parking spaces.
