The latest Kia Sorento is built on a foundation of safety-first engineering, combining durable construction with high-tech systems that help support safer driving. The 2025 model introduces a more refined suite of driver-assist features, part of the Kia Drive Wise package, designed to help drivers stay aware and respond to potential hazards more confidently.  

One standout feature is Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) with cyclist and junction turning detection. It’s designed to detect vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists in your path and apply the brakes if a potential collision is detected. When turning at intersections, the system can help reduce the risk of impact with oncoming traffic—an important advancement for urban driving.

The Blind-Spot View Monitor offers an extra set of eyes when switching lanes. This system displays a live video feed in the instrument cluster when a turn signal is activated, helping you see what’s in your blind spot in real-time. It works with Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, which can intervene with steering or braking if it detects a vehicle in the adjacent lane.  

Another vital update is the Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA 2) feature. Building on adaptive cruise control, HDA 2 adds Lane-Change Assist, Automatic Speed Adjustments based on navigation data, and the ability to maintain a safe distance during heavy traffic. The system combines radar and camera data to help keep the 2025 Sorento centered in its lane while automatically managing speed and distance.   

For backing up or parking in tight areas, the Surround View Monitor gives drivers a 360-degree bird’s-eye view of the SUV and its surroundings. Paired with Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, the system helps watch for approaching vehicles or obstacles when reversing, which is particularly useful in crowded parking lots.  

Kia has also prioritized family safety with features like Rear Occupant Alert, which reminds the driver to check the rear seats before exiting the vehicle. This technology is invaluable for parents or pet owners. And with Safe Exit Assist, the Sorento helps prevent passengers from opening the doors if approaching traffic is detected. It acts as an intelligent safeguard for busy streets.
