Maximum five-star safety rating achieved for all 2015 Kia Sorento variants.
Australian crash safety authority, ANCAP, has awarded the maximum five-star crash safety rating to the third-generation Kia Sorento SUV, which launches in Australia this week.
The large-SUV's performance in the physical crash tests (conducted by EuroNCAP) as well as its inclusion of required safety technology combined to deliver the Sorento the full five stars for safety.
Achieving a five-star rating from ANCAP means the new Sorento matches its key rivals - including the Ford Territory, Toyota Kluger, Hyundai Santa Fe and Nissan Pathfinder - in having the maximum safety level.
The Sorento's result is also a boost for the Korean car maker after the third-generation Carnival people mover, with which the Sorento shares some of its underpinnings, only managed a four-star rating earlier this year.
