All 2023 models now include blind-spot collision avoidance to alert the driver in heavy traffic and hard-to-see spots, and can automatically apply the brakes to avoid a collision. The available Blind-spot View Monitor shows you a live view of your blind spots, and one of my favorite safety features included in all the 2023 Kia Sorento models is the rear cross-traffic collision avoidance which can alert the driver of obstacles behind the vehicle when in reverse and can automatically apply the brakes to avoid crossing traffic. The Safe Exit Assist uses the same sensors to prevent you from opening a door in traffic and will activate the locks if necessary to prevent an accident.
