Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard, keeping you connected on the move without the need for cords. Parking, navigating tight spots, and maneuvering at low speeds become easier with the available 360° Surround View Monitor, which provides a high-resolution overhead image of the vehicle’s surroundings.

Safety plays a key part in the new Sorento with features designed to help the driver respond to challenges on the road. Standard Auto Emergency Braking with pedestrian, cyclist, car, and junction-turning detection uses sensors to monitor traffic ahead and, under certain conditions, can apply the brakes to help avoid or lessen a collision. Available Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist helps maintain vehicle stability by identifying vehicles in your blind spot and guiding you back to your lane if you attempt to merge. Standard Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist supports the driver when backing out of a parking space by alerting you to oncoming traffic or automatically applying the brakes if necessary. Staying relaxed on long highway drives is easier with available Highway Driving Assist 2, which uses cameras, radar, and navigation data to help manage speed and steering. Its capabilities include maintaining distance from vehicles ahead and assisting with lane changes when the turn signal is activated.
