The Sportage is equipped with an impressive array of safety features which are designed to be both active in avoiding accidents and to provide comprehensive protection to ensure your safety should the worst happen.

So how does all this come together to make the Kia Sportage one of the safest vehicles around today?

 

Exceptional in Vehicle Safety Testing

In stringent NHTSA safety tests the 2014 Kia Sportage received an astonishing five stars, the maximum that can be awarded for overall accident safety and survivability. Both frontal and side impact tests also achieved the top rating. These results are consistent with respected crash tests worldwide including the European NCAP.

Protection When You Need It Most

The vehicle body incorporates front and rear crumple zones which absorb impact forces helping to prevent serious injury in the event of a collision. You will be defended from side impacts by integrated reinforcing beams in each of the doors, effectively forming a protective cage around the vehicle interior.

Dual front and side airbags are supplemented with full-length side curtain airbags, completely enclosing and protecting the passengers. A roll over sensor also ensures that they will be instantly deployed for your protection even in the most extreme crash scenarios.

All seats are fitted with three-point seat belts. Front seat belt pre-tensioners and Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) ensure you and your family will remain secured in your seats in the event of an accident.

Technology to Help You Remain In Control.

As the driver of a 2014 Kia Sportage, you have a host of hi-tech systems designed to watch your back in today's demanding driving conditions.

The vehicle maintains a perfect posture on the road assisted by Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) which continually monitor and adjust the suspension and ride to provide the precise vehicle handling and road holding.

When it is time to hit those brakes; powerful all-round disks with ABS will bring you safely to a stop in no time aided by Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD) and Downhill Brake Control (DBC) ensuring that the braking system is optimized for the terrain.

The Hill start assist control (HAC) allows you to confidently pull away without roll-back on even the steepest incline. Once on the move, you can rely on the Traction Control System (TCS) to intelligently distribute the power to the road wheels, increasing grip and reducing the risk of skidding and loss of control even in the worst conditions. Additionally, an onboard tire pressure monitoring system continuously ensures that inflation levels are maintained within a safe range.
