Kia is now launching a completely new generation of the seven-seater Sorento, a model that has become more spacious in the cabin and has more luggage space than its predecessor.

Warn and activate the brakes
Kia Sorento’s technology also includes an advanced automatic brake.

The system, called FCA, can prevent collisions with vehicles when turning left at an intersection. If the FCA detects a potential hazard, a warning sign is displayed in the instrument cluster and maximum braking power is applied automatically.
The blind spot view monitor is included in the highest tier of three teams, Advance Plus, along with, among other things, the surround view monitor (360 degree view) and the automatic brake when reversing ( PCA), making low-speed parking maneuvers as safe and easy as possible.
