What Safety Features Does the 2022 Kia Sportage Offer?

Passive Safety Features

The 2022 Kia Sportage includes seating for up to five people split between two rows. Each passenger is securely strapped in with a 3-point seat belt that adjusts to all types of seating positions. Additionally, the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) found in the rear seats makes for foolproof safety for your little ones.

The driver, too, is given an array of passive safety features that are meant to provide peace of mind during each trip. Each Kia Sportage trim includes several standard performance-based safety features, such as:

• Hill Start Assist Control
• Downhill Brake Control
• Traction Control System
• Electronic Stability Control

In addition, the Kia Sportage’s Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) with 4-wheel disc brakes actively monitors any detection of potential skidding. If skidding is detected, ABS will apply brake-force to reduce and contain it.

Other Safety Features in the Kia Sportage

If you choose to go with the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning feature, the 8-inch touchscreen located in the cabin will provide a glance at an angle that doesn’t distract as you place your 2022 Kia Sportage into reverse.

The Kia Sportage SX Turbo trim option provides standard access to Parking Assist with Front & Rear Sensors, an ideal companion for maneuvering into tight parking spots. This feature comes to life thanks to ultrasonic sensors located in the front and rear bumpers.

Lastly, the dual front advanced airbags and dual front seat-mounted side airbags protect passengers in the event of a collision. Full-length side curtain airbags are included, as well, as is a rollover sensor to deploy each airbag when necessary.
