New Sorento gets 5-star safety rating

Kia's new generation Sorento has achieved a 5-star safety rating in the Euro NCAP crash test regime, writes Brian Byrne.

The car has a significantly stronger body shell and a wide range of active safety technology. Kia's new SUV scored highly in all four areas (90 percent Adult Occupant Protection, 83 percent Child Occupant Protection, 67 percent Pedestrian Protection and 71 percent Safety Assist)

It goes on sale across Europe in the first half of 2015. Pictured above at the Paris Motor Show debut of the new Sorento are James Brooks and Aidan Doyle of Kia Ireland.
