The Sportage has earned five-stars, the federal government's highest crash test safety rating¹ in all four categories, from the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA). Plus, it gives you the peace of mind you deserve by offering:

ADVANCED PROTECTION. The Sportage comes standard with six airbags placed throughout the vehicle. They include dual front advanced, dual side and full length side curtains to help protect you and your passengers. Six airbags are part of Sportage’s advanced supplement restraint system (SRS)². This airbag system monitors the severity of an impact, the presence of a front passenger and seat-belt use, and then controls airbag inflation accordingly.

BETTER STABILITY. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) provides you with improved directional stability, which helps you maintain control in difficult driving situations ESC monitors and controls key vehicle functions, such as brake force pressure, the speed you’re traveling and the direction of the vehicle. It then brakes individual wheels and reduces engine power accordingly to attempt to help you bring the vehicle back on the intended course.

IMPROVED TRACTION. The Traction Control System (TCS) uses speed sensors on each wheel to detect tire spinning when starting out or accelerating. If spinning is detected, the engine power is reduced and/or the brakes are applied until traction returns.

TIRE CHECK. A Tire-Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on EX alerts you if one or more of your tires is underinflated so corrective action can be taken.

¹ Government star ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA’s) New Car Assessment Program (safercar.gov). Model tested with side-impact air bags (SABs).
