Top Safety Pick Plus Rating Presented To 2017 Kia Sportage

The Insurance Institute for Highway safety has presented its highest-possible safety rating of Top Safety Pick Plus (TSP+) to the 2017 Kia Sportage when it is equipped with the optional front crash prevention system. This rating means that the vehicle needed to earn a score of “good” or better in each of the five IIHS crash tests and a rating of “advanced” or “superior” for the front crash prevention system.

“The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is one of the most recognized and respected organizations in the industry when it comes to evaluating vehicle safety, and as such, the Top Safety Pick Plus designation is a significant achievement,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president, product planning, KMA.  “We are especially proud to have our all-new Sportage earn that TSP+ rating in light of IIHS’ new, more challenging standards, validating the efforts of our engineers and the priority we place on safety.”

Available safety features in the 2017 Kia Sportage include front and rear parking assist, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), high-beam assist (HBA), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Bi-HID headlights with Dynamic Bending Light (DBL) technology, and Blind Spot Detection (BSD) with Lane Change Assist (LCA).
