Design

Looks that thrill

Modern, yet iconic

Crafter to illuminate

Alloy wheels

Contemporary and dynamic

The Sorento has evolved with a new interpretation of the unmistakable ‘tiger nose’ grille, displaying a wider shape which organically wraps around the integrated LED headlights on each side.

The sharper, more assertive appearance is complemented by a wider lower air intake, book ended by wing-shaped air curtains to channel air around the car.

Sleek and sharp LED headlights, powerfully designed to light the way, not only in the dark of night, but in broad daylight.

A muscular broad shape isn’t all that the Sorento has to offer; it’s bold look shines from top to bottom. The 19” machine finished alloy wheels sets the Sorento’s whole style off.

The vertical LED tail lights wrap around the side of the body for a more striking presence on the road.

Commanding luxury.

Class-leading safety

Safety that's a step ahead.

Blind Spot View Monitor*

Parking Collision Avoidance Assist*

JunctionAssist*

Multi Collision Brake*

A second pair of eyes. By activating the turn signal, the wide-angle surround view monitors will display live footage of other vehicles in your blind spots on the 12.3” instrument cluster.

The Parking Collision Avoidance Assist System warns you with visual/audible alarms and haptic steering feedback while also engaging the brakes when it anticipates collision with an obstacle and/or pedestrians.

When the Automatic Emergency Braking system detects a risk of collision when turning at an intersection, the system will warn the driver with audio/visual alerts, steering wheel vibration and will automatically apply the brakes.

The Multi Collision Braking system engages automatic braking when an airbag is deployed during a primary collision to help mitigate a secondary collision.

Safety highlights

Surrounded by safety.

Safe Exit Assist*

The Safe Exit Assist system will look out for you as it detects and warns of approaching vehicles that enter your blind spot zone before you open your door.

Additionally passenger doors will automatically lock so that exit is not possible until the hazard has cleared.

Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)*

Make it safely to all destinations with Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB). Using radar and camera data, your Sorento will sense the potential for a collision with a pedestrian, car or cyclist ahead and apply emergency braking to avoid or reduce the effects of a collision.

Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist*

The Blind Spot Collision Avoidance system helps prevent or reduce the risk of collision with vehicles in the adjacent lane or coming from behind when the driver switches lanes through audio-visual alerts and haptic steering feedback. The Electronic Stability Control will also activate to prevent the vehicle from colliding with the adjacent vehicle approaching from the blind spot, if the driver fails to observe or obey the audio-visual warnings prior.

Electronic Stability Control*

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) automatically applies braking to help you stay on course when it detects potential skidding.

Vehicle Stability Management*

Continuously monitoring road conditions, the VSM helps to protect occupants by automatically controlling the steering and brakes when the road gets bumpy.

Driver Attention Alert+

Have the supportive co-pilot you’ve always wanted as Driver Attention Alert+ (DAA+) monitors your driving and alerts you if it detects loss of concentration or tiredness. It also notifies you with an audio-visual alert when the vehicle in front has moved while stopped at a traffic light stop.

Advanced Smart Cruise Control*

Feel at home on any road with Advanced Smart Cruise Control using radar to maintain a predetermined distance from the vehicle directly ahead, automatically slowing or accelerating your Sorento when appropriate. The ASCC will also come to a complete stop if the vehicle in front stops, and will accelerate if the vehicle in front accelerates within 3 seconds.

Lane Following Assist*

Lane Following Assist works with the Smart Cruise Control system to help the vehicle remain in the centre of the lane by continuously correcting the course of the vehicle when Smart Cruise Control is activated.

Lane Keeping Assist with Lane Change Assist*

Confidence wherever the tracks may lead.

Lane Changing Assist with Lane Keeping Assist will provide audio-visual alerts if you indicate into a lane that has an adjacent vehicle while providing haptic steering feedback to get you back to the right place.

360° View Camera*

The 360° camera view system combines four wide-angle images, from cameras at the front, rear, and sides of the vehicle, to provide seamless visibility. Perfect for parking in tight squeezes.

7 Airbags including front centre side

Feel secure on each journey knowing you are surrounded with 7 airbags that will help potentially reduce injuries in the event of a collision. Seven airbags are offered: driver, front passenger, front passenger side, two curtain and a class-leading front centre side airbag which helps minimise the chance of a head clash between the front seat occupants.
